My department (Biology at Emory) is hiring for a teaching track position! These are stable, well-respected, long-term positions with a path to promotion and ppl often staying for decades. The dept is wonderfully supportive and filled with amazing humans (faculty + staff) apply.interfolio.com/191814

Today was my first class as an Associate Professor with Tenure! A dream come true for this first-generation college student, who grew up thinking that scientists only exist in movies. Thanks to the hard-working lab members and fearless mentors that made it possible to get paid to do what I love.

Thank you so much Tim @drosophilosophy.bsky.social for an amazing talk and a thought-provoking discussion. May Drosophila Neuro research live forever!

Our lab published a JoVE video article covering the CaMPARI technique to study synaptic connections in developing Drosophila. Here’s a quick preview! Full video & article: hubs.ly/Q04s6ZWx0 Journal of Visualized Experiments ( #JoVE ) #neurociencia #scientificcommunication #neuroscience #UMBC

Can't wait to serve again as co-director of the CSHL Drosophila Neurobiology course this year! 🧪🪰👀 Application Deadline: March 27 meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx... @cshlnews.bsky.social @cshlcourses.bsky.social

Age-related decline is restricted to specific #neuron types & #brain regions. This study shows components of the #Drosophila escape motor circuit vary in susceptibility to #aging & stressors, with plastic components being vulnerable & hard-wired components robust @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/45gobl9

Trump's Harvard cuts threaten a giant in biomedical research: A database about the tiny fruit fly

This spring, the Trump administration rescinded a grant that maintained FlyBase, a pillar of global basic research, as part of its broader $2.2 billion funding cuts at Harvard.

Juvenile hormone regulates the maturation of sexually dimorphic naive ethanol olfactory preference in Drosophila melanogaster | Royal Society Open Science

The molecular mechanisms underlying the maturation of innate reward behaviours remain poorly understood. We have identified a sexually dimorphic innate reward behaviour in Drosophila melanogaster that varies depending on the age, sex and mating status in ...

Giant study finds a research field that’s mostly reproducible

Researchers assessed more than 1,000 results from fruit-fly immunity research published between 1959 and 2011. The majority of findings look verifiable.
