Sad to hear that Margaret Boden, pioneer in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, has passed away.

Just a few days ago, someone reactivated the post below. I warmly recommend watching the video.

Thank you Margaret for founding and shaping our field.

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯

Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below.

This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.
My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate.

Had to happen at some point: today, the o1 model solved in one go the PhD thesis of one of the students in the lab. Shall we add the model as a coauthor? Shall I stop having students or shall we work on more complex problems?

Just 1 minute of being "chased" by an object teaches zebrafish day-olds to recognize it as a threat. This rapid learning is powered by noradrenergic and forebrain circuits.

Days-old zebrafish rapidly learn to recognize threatening agents through noradrenergic and forebrain circuits
Zocchi et al. utilize a robotic predator-learning assay to show that larval zebrafish as young as 5 days post-fertilization rapidly learn to avoid robots following predatory-like experiences. Whole-brain imaging of neural activity implicates the noradrenergic system and forebrain populations in this “conditioned robot avoidance” learning.
