#Drosophila research group with a heart for #scRNA seq on the search for why cells do what they do when they do it.
We’re doing #DevBio #CellBio #Cancer research led by one of the #WomenInSTEM and a #NewPI.
Very much looking forward to this!
Preparations for the next JEDI meeting are underway! The upcoming Junior European #Drosophila Investigator / #NewPI meeting is planned for Portugal in June. Final dates and additional details will be announced soon - stay tuned for updates!​

We and @bogdanlab.bsky.social are visiting Heidelberg for the 50th anniversary #DGZ meeting! Any @fly-jedi.bsky.social here wanting to connect?

Amazing group of people! Thank you for the nice evening!
Update from #EDRC2025! Four days of amazing talks and poster sessions and JEDIs have reconnected across geographical boundaries. Dinner was fun and we are looking forward to everyone at the next #Drosophila conference!

Welcome to the lab, Hannah!

Revision work of our latest #singlecell analysis generates the most peculiar pictures. Well, hello there, little seahorse!

Probably the best meeting I ever attended :)
It is time to appreciate our sponsors for making the last #Drosophila JEDI meeting possible! Thank you!

This would be an incredible disaster to the #Drosophila community. And it sets a frightening sign for the entire scientific community. 🧪 The fly labs from @unimarburg.bsky.social are trying to organize to tackle this together.
#Drosophila @flybase.bsky.social requires emergency funding:
"As it stands, by the end of July, 2025, there will be no future updates to #FlyBase, and in the worst case scenario access to the website will also be lost". Please help if you can!
We currently have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We are asking our colleagues from labs in the US and other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.

Apparently we do not have a JEDI starter pack yet.
@fly-jedi.bsky.social
and everyone else: let me know which other Junior European #Drosophila Investigators are missing!

I wanted to share this beautiful picture of an anaphase cell. I just love #microscopy! Hats off to Sari for taking such a beautiful image in her second week here.

Today is the deadline for the early bird registration of the European #Drosophila meeting @edrc2025.bsky.social in Alicante. Anyone joining me there?

Welcome to the group, Sari!

I am not using #AI to generate my figures but if I ever do you will know... This is Canva trying to draw a #Drosophila ovary.

The last round of #lab ducks was fluorescent!!!

Congrats, Dr Vanessa to an amazing defense! Finally finished the #PhD and we’re so proud of you!

Player two had entered the game and the duck I found has a little hat! Everyone is still duck hunting. If you want to add some fun to your #lab day, I highly recommend this!
April 16, 2025 at 8:07 AM
Someone has been hiding these mini rubber ducks all over the #lab in the last few days. The entire group is on duck hunt!

Where are my #MolBio friends working with #Drosophila who are always asked about what species an insect is? Stun your granny the next time she asks! Now excuse me while I look for something similar for plants...
🔎 Stumped by an insect you’ve spotted?

Our experts can help identify them for you. Just fill in our form and we'll tell you more!

Good job @unimarburg.bsky.social!
I wished there was an english version of this but the picture already pretty much says it all!

For my German speaking crowd: I needed more virgins and that’s what the student interpreted. For English speakers: more virgins sounds like mermaid in German (:
