Super happy to share that one of my PhD projects just got published - describing the 6th sense of Drosophila! A great project done with David Tadres and Alex Eden and M. Louis @ UCSB. If you're interested in neurons encoding electric fields, please read on:

Sensation of electric fields in the Drosophila melanogaster larva
Electrosensation has emerged as a crucial sensory modality for social communication, foraging, and predation across the animal kingdom. However, its p…

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

What the health & scientific world "have experienced in the past few weeks is like a death in the family. We are angry, shocked, & saddened, but we must not despair". This a telling account of what is happening in the #US, but I am saddened that the author felt it had to be written anonymously.
Anger, despair, and defiance from a voice within the US federal research system
People around the world are watching with disbelief as the new US government closes down its aid programme, withdraws from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Paris agreement on climate change...

Canadians' reaction to Trump's U.S. tariffs and annexation comments (newspaper cartoon). Even Quebec is united with the rest of Canada on this point. If you know Canadian politics, that's quite an achievement.

Scared to share this after 10 freaking years of waiting, but here we go: We found that temperature *perception* can change the biology of the next generations, even when “it’s just in the parents' head”. Read how C. elegans neurons control epigenetic inheritance!

Perception of Temperature Even in the Absence of Actual Change is Sufficient to Drive Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance
