This is an important moment for folks interested in the chemical senses - the first structure of a human odor receptor!

Ending a special year in a spectacular way with the usual #RibeiroLab
Xmastravaganza - also saying goodbye to @ZitaCSantos and wishing her all the best in her new adventure running a lab #IMMolecular
with a fully deserved @ERC_Research - WATCH OUT WORLD - DISCOVERIES COMING!

Excited to share our new manuscript on a novel #neuropeptide family that regulates #feeding across #evolution. Kudos to #Pat_TFrancisco for tackling this challenging project and coming up with the name #marmite. #homeostasis https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.12.520095v3 Still figuring this space out. In the meantime if you want to check out the thread on the competing platform (links to the competition are allowed here?). https://twitter.com/RibeiroCarlitos/status/1605147211918196736 #drosophila

@cyrilpedia It should now.

Stimulating and fascinating read from #LudingtonWill on how #hosts and #microbes could use a secret code to exchange information about #nutrient states. #TrendsMicrobiol https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0966842X22003195?dgcid=author #microbiome

OPEN CALL: PhD in Neuroscience & Cancer @ Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon, https://fchampalimaud.org/champalimaud-research/education/incdp

@mads100tist Thanks! All credit goes to Patricia Francisco.

@helenajambor @crisprflydesign From what I understand that is how social media work nowadays.

@albertcardona @sengupta It went online a few minutes ago. Maybe the webpage did not update yet?

@crisprflydesign Thanks for amplifying. Currently updating the manuscript. There are some small mistakes in the current version.

@sengupta ;) We are currently updating the preprint. There is a small mistake in the affiliation of an author...

@kristinmbranson @giorgiogilestro I always liked the term "computational ethology" - but ethomics encapsulates it quite well too.

Have you visited the #FlyWire website yet? Both for helping proofread and analyze the whole #Drosophila brain #connectome, or simply to admire the beautiful renderings of neuronal arbors: https://join.flywire.ai

(See also the #VirtualFlyBrain for #ontology-driven navigation of the fly brain, and access to images of genetic driver lines, and more: https://v2.virtualflybrain.org/org.geppetto.frontend/geppetto?id=VFB_00101567&i=VFB_00101567 )

Wish I had time or resources to create such a beautiful landing page for the larval central nervous system. The #connectome of the whole larval brain is coming soon. For now, see the #vEM images and some ~3,000 published neurons in this #CATMAID server: https://l1em.catmaid.virtualflybrain.org/?pid=1&zp=108250&yp=82961.59999999999&xp=54210.799999999996&tool=tracingtool&sid0=1&s0=2.4999999999999996&help=true&layout=h(XY,%20%7B%20type:%20%22neuron-search%22,%20id:%20%22neuron-search-1%22,%20options:%20%7B%22annotation-name%22:%20%22papers%22%7D%7D,%200.6)

The life scientific is one of the most interesting scientific podcasts out there, featuring the life and discoveries of lots of interesting scientists.

The last episode is about Bambos Kyriacou, from the University of Leicester. For those who do not know him, Bambos is an excellent Drosophilist who has made unique contributions to the field of circadian rhythm. He is also super fun.

Do listen to this if you haven't yet and pass it on to your students.
