Unlike other rhodopsins, fly Rh7 is expressed in many non-retinal neurons. This recent preprint shows why, and Bgee shows where 🤓 🪰

Delighted that my PhD student @v-kirsch.bsky.social received an award for her poster on RHODOPSIN 7 in the @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social section. Many thanks to the @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social for a wonderful and inspiring meeting!

Our new paper is out now!
We show the non-image forming role of #Rhodopsin7 in #Drosophila, expanding our understanding of #opsins beyond classical vision.
This work highlights how #Rh7 contributes to extra-retinal light sensing and plays a role in behavioral light responses.

Why a database of bug genes could be one of Trump’s most devastating cuts at Harvard
FlyBase, the world's only fruit fly database, is in the crosshairs of Trump's attack on Harvard. Here's why it could matter for your health.

Many thanks to the JEDI organizers for such a fantastic meeting. I look forward to seeing you all again next time @fly-jedi.bsky.social
We want to thank everyone who attended this year's #Drosophila JEDI meeting at Château du Feÿ! Three days of amazing talks, great ideas and chat at the camp fire. We are looking forward to meeting everyone again at the next meeting!

Dies ist kein Fake.
Es handelt sich um ein neues Plakat, das Frontex entworfen hat, um Kindern während einer Abschiebung zu erklären, was gerade geschieht und wie es weitergeht.

They will go after Wikipedia.
They will go after libraries.
They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports.
They will go after archives.
Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy.

Nice graphic of #Drosophila stock keeping.
Tired of having to explain this again and again, I made an info- graphic of #Drosophila stock keeping. Any comments? @bdsc.bsky.social @flybase.bsky.social
