Finally out in @natneuro.nature.com! A forgotten memory isn't always gone. We show that forgotten memories persist as silent memory traces, can be recovered by reminders, and can even be reconstructed into false memories. Excited to finally share this work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Creating true and false memories from forgotten information in Drosophila - Nature Neuroscience

Forgotten memories in Drosophila persist as silent memory traces and can be recovered by reminder cues. Manipulating reminders can create false memories, showing that memory reconstruction flexibly in...

Reading papers has become a real challenge. I either have to have a panda keep a spot for me in line, or prove that I am not a bot, or prove that I am human, or identify all pictures with bicycles, ladders, unicorns. Screw it, I am going to the library to find journal hard copies and read in peace

----- PLS SHARE WIDELY ----- I have 2 positions to fill asap: 1) a 3-year postdoctoral position, creating single-cell atlases across species and development. 2) a 4-year (!) PhD position, to create anatomical atlases. Both will work together on integrating these two strands of information...!

Latest work from the team driven by our fantastic post-doc Maribel Arjona. Using cytoplasm extract fractions and active rheology, we adress how endomembranes, that pack the cell interior, influence the mechanics of the cytoplasm! @ijmonod.bsky.social @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social

4️⃣ What keeps your curiosity alive? "Curiosity isn't something you maintain. It's either there or it's not. There are things that feed it, like giving it time and sharing it with others, and things that can kill it, like bureaucracy."

2️⃣ What scientific question excites you the most today? "It's a quest rather than a question. Jacques Cousteau was once asked what he expected to find on his next expedition. He replied, 'If I knew, I wouldn't go.' I hope our lab can discover biology that nobody had expected."

Probably the first scientific description of regeneration in crustaceans, by Réaumur 1712 The paper starts like this: Scholars are as wary of the marvellous as common people are ready to believe it. ... 🧵 1/3

Les nouvelles règles envisagées pour l'ANR sont plus qu'inquiétantes. Elles porteraient un immense coup d'arrêt à la recherche fondamentale en France, surchargeraient les jeunes chercheurs, et n'attendraient sans doute même pas leur objectif (apparent) de réduction du nombre de candidatures

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.

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…

Very honoured to present #UniFr and #Switzerland in the 2026 FKNE cohort ! Looking forward to be part of a network with so many bright minds, to promote (neuro)science research and education not only in Europe but also #LMICs, and to bring our comparative, cross-species approach to FKNE.

@fkne-scholars.bsky.social · 4w ago

Welcome to the 15 newly selected #FENSKavliScholars! Representing 12 European countries, they join a network of 30 Scholars across 21 countries and 25 nationalities. 🧠✨With thanks to @fens.org, @kavlifoundation.org, @alleninstitute.org and our partners for supporting FKNE. h1.nu/1t8Lw

I had an (honestly) really fun time writing up an "In Preprints" piece on the two fantastic studies from @grandlab.bsky.social and @schubelerlab.bsky.social. Check it out here. I have also put the original threads from the authors below. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

In preprints – housekeeping the housekeeping genes

The term ‘housekeeping gene’ evokes a sense of banality. These are the boring genes that hum in the background, impervious to cell state or stress. For a developmental biologist captivated by the impa...

How do dozens of distinct muscles emerge from the same pool of precursor cells? Our new Science Advances paper uncovers the developmental logic that coordinates myoblast identities to build diverse muscles. 📄 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #DevelopmentalBiology #Drosophila #Muscle

Spatiotemporal control of myoblast identity drives muscle diversity in the Drosophila leg

This study reveals how muscle diversity arises in flies, enabling the complex movements that drive animal behavior.
