Dear All, I believe that this thread will become one of my most important contributions to the fly field (I hope I will make other contributions)! Here, I introduce the Soy Milk Machine Fly Food Method, a.k.a., DeepCook!#Drosophila#NewPI

I was thrilled to be with thousands in Washington Square park, proud to speak at the NYC Stand Up for Science rally today.

We must stand together, this is one fight, against fascism, across so many sectors of our society.

Lots of people at the rally in New York!
Josh Dubnau from Stony Brook gave the speech the moment demands: attacks on science funding are bad, but they’re downstream of fascism, and we need to fight the fascism even when we’re not the targets

When the exhaustion sets in mid-semester, I always have the opportunity to listen to David again by teaching my molecular cell biology course. He will keep all of us going, right?

congratulations to Catherine and Ding! An advancement in understanding the perception of social isolation.
Our latest findings on social behavior circuits is out: how does the brain responds to social isolation? Terrific work by @dingliu.bsky.social et al. uncovering a circuit with similar neural architecture as physiological needs (hunger, thirst, sleep..). Detailed thread soon.

Our paper @dulaclab.bsky.social on social homeostasis is online today! We characterized “social rebound” behavior after social isolation in multiple mouse strains and revealed its neural basis. Intriguingly, soft touch plays a key role in satisfying social need!

Outreach funding opportunity, sponsored by the Fly Board:
Non-profit programs anywhere in the world that introduce middle school, high school, or college students to Drosophila research are eligible to apply! The number of students that this funding would impact and financial need will be considered

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Glad i moved here and found this ❤️
… Remember what you love. Remember what loves you. Remember … what love is.
You can be heartbroken or furious or both at once; you can scream in your car or on a cliff; you can also get up tomorrow and water the flowerpots and call someone who's upset and check your equipment for going onward.

Quoting @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social helped today:

You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.  You may need to grieve or scream or take time off, but you have a role no matter what
It's odd being on a new (for me) platform. I have mostly just lurked on Twitter, and here I'm not convinced I have the job I've assumed on FB of being in essence a (highly opinionated) news source, particularly on feminism & climate. Interleaved with images of natural beauty and awe and some poems.
