Digging in RNA & TF interplay - Exploring TF-RNA networks in cell fate - Fly pusher + CNRS Researcher + Mentorfirst https://www.igmm.cnrs.fr/en/team/integrative-rna-networks-in-development/
This mentoring program is tailored for junior #Drosophila researchers, including #PhD, #Postdoc and #NewPI and is still accepting mentee requests!
Dear #Drosophila and #NewPI community, the mentee survey for this great mentorship program is still open!
A prototype ribosome was engineered to carry the instructions for one specific protein and make only that protein. It produced several proteins, but its full potential is still unresolved. doi.org/hch226
Researchers rewire ribosomes to specialize in one protein
Every cell relies on ribosomes, the molecular machines that read genetic instructions and use them to assemble proteins.

@lucievleeuwen.bsky.social, a talented postdoc in my lab, in collaboration with the @hayleysharpe.bsky.social and Dansen lab, developed a variety of fly lines with redox sensors in different subcellular compartments, revealing distinct H2O2 patterns during development. Read more below!
New preprint! Excited to share #FlyPer: new #Drosophila lines targeting #H2O2 sensor #HyPer7 to the #mitochondria, #nucleus, #cytosol & #plasmamembrane! 🪰 Together with @sharpe-lab.bsky.social & Dansen lab, we reveal distinct H2O2 patterns in embryos and larval wing discs. doi.org/10.64898/202...
Join Carolina's lab! Wonderful mentor and amazing research!
We’re recruiting postdocs! Join our @wellcometrust.bsky.social funded programme 'Decoding competition in the brain'. How does the brain resolve competing needs and prioritise behaviour? 📅 Deadline: 1 September Apply: rezavallab.org Please share! www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DSM781/r...
Great piece on octopus ribosomes — and on the importance of following unexpected observations and looking in new places to find new things :) current.fas.harvard.edu/stories/octo...
Two brilliant days of scientific discussion in London for our @britishcouncil.bsky.social Springboard meeting with @jcarnesecchi.bsky.social and our teams from @exeter.ac.uk and @igmm-montpel.bsky.social @cnrs.fr. Onwards! 🇫🇷🇬🇧

How did octopuses evolve novel traits? Rishav Mitra, Richard Han, Trey Scott, et al serendipitously discover a unique ribosome adaptation that increases the accuracy of protein synthesis and evolved alongside their elaborate nervous systems vs deep sea relatives. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Very sensible thread regarding the new eligibility criteria for the ANR. As usual, I can see where these decisions come from, I can NOT understand how they ended up there…
Si les nouvelles règles de l'éligibilité de l'ANR sont bien réelles, alors je ne comprends pas quelle est la logique sous jacente. Au vu de la pyramide des ages, forcer une collaboration avec chercheurs(ses) <10 ans post thèse va de facto exclure 80% des candidats.

Crete Fly 2026 is a wrap! brain overflowing with info, and heart full with joy, after a week of stimulating talks, discussions, and catching up with old and new friends spanning 30 years of my life. also rocked the OAC with Cassandra Extavour for the first time, the fly community is the BEST!! 🪰🇬🇷
Greetings from the JEDI members that were selected for this year's @embo.org #Drosophila Crete meeting. Congratulations for giving amazing talks! From left: Helene Knævelsrud @helene-knavelsrud.bsky.social, Katja Rust @rustflylab.bsky.social and Julie Carnesecchi @jcarnesecchi.bsky.social
The amazing JEDI crowd 2026! Hurray for an inspiring #Drosophila meeting at a gorgeous location. Thank you to everyone who attended!
Today our keynote speaker Eugenia Chiappe from @champalimaudf.bsky.social gave an inspiring talk. The JEDI's enjoyed interacting with a first generation JEDI, who attended these #Drosophila meetings when she first started her lab. Thank you, Eugenia!
The first few talks of this year's conference have been amazing! Here is a picture of @katrin-domsch.bsky.social rocking the stage talking about #Drosophila muscle development!
Amazing news! The company of biologists @biologists.bsky.social has decided to support our upcoming meeting! We now only have a couple of spots left for the upcoming JEDI #Drosophila meeting. 📍Palmela, Portugal 📅 June 1st to 3rd Register: congressos.mundiconvenius.pt/geral/inseri...

Now we're cooking !!! #Drosophila folks never disappoint - I love it that they called it MIMOSAS 🍸 @narjournal.bsky.social #RNA #splicing
MicroRNA-Mediated Obstruction of Stem–loop Alternative Splicing (MIMOSAS) regulates long-range alternative splicing in Drosophila
Abstract. RNA secondary structures are key regulators of long-range pre-messenger RNA (mRNA) alternative splicing, yet the rules governing these structures
