If you are looking for a PhD position and you like working with #Drosophila, I highly recommend applying. You will not only do exciting science, you will also have an amazing mentor.

Our work got featured at ClearSkyScience. It's very exciting to see the breakdown of your own work written by someone else. I admit that I cannot fully endorse the figures but this was an interesting experience! www.clearskyscience.com/en/10.1038/s...

Look at this view! And even better: every attendee gives a talk making this meeting extremely collaborative. This is THE meeting to be for #NewPI #Drosophila researchers - and those who want to connect to them!

Junior European Drosophila Investigators@fly-jedi.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Calling all #Drosophila #NewPI #researchers! A few spots remain for the upcoming JEDI Conference - and you won’t want to miss this! Every attendee gives a talk, making the exchange dynamic, personal, and highly interactive - all at a stunning venue that inspires collaboration and creativity.

Time to share some data that might get buried in the supplement of our recent paper here rdcu.be/e91Kj Here you can see how cells intercalate in a coordinated fashion. They move from a double rowed organisation to a single row stalk. 🧵

Our paper is now available as early access at Nature Communications! Using the #Drosophila follicle epithelium as a model, we applied #scRNAseq, #LiveImaging, and cell biological tools to unravel functions of aberrant EGFR-Ras and Hedgehog signaling. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dear JEDIs, as we are self-organizing using the #EDRC as a nucleator we decided it is time for a JEDI database to boost our network! If you identify as a JEDI, please contact us here or send a mail to katja.rust@uni-marburg.de to be added to our database. #Drosophila @fly-eds.bsky.social
