Really excited to share and discuss our work tomorrow! Looking forward to learning a lot in these 2 days, particularly to see the different approaches allowing us to explore this type of data in the amazing #drosophila 🤓
Excited to participate in this. Being part of this community has been great! This will add to the fantastic resources #drosophila has!

How #glia and #neurons work together to fuel the #brain: coming up on Monday, Dr. Schirmeier of @WWU_Muenster. Register: crowdcast.io/e/brainbody-sch… And grab one of the limited slots for the Q&A after the seminar! #metabolism #Drosophila #neuroscience
Want to know how the #brain makes sure it gets the fuel it needs? How this affects #brain function and #development? Join us next Monday @BrainBodyInter1 to listen to Stefanie Schirmeier of @WWU_Muenster talking about #glia #neurons #metabolism #neurobiology #drosophila.

Today I would like to highlight "fruitless Splicing Specifies Male #Courtship #Behavior in #Drosophila" cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092… @CellCellPress from Demir and @BarryJDickson - a paper which stands at the beginning of the renaissance of neurogenetics in #Drosophila #apaperaday

Fascinating thread by @yadindudai on the history of #learning and #memory #research in #Drosophila as seen by one of its pioneers! #Science #AdademicTwitter #academicTwitter #ScienceFromHome #neuroscience
1. Tnx again Carlos for retrieving this paper from the collective memory of the field. I am adding just a few remarks, as suggested. I will not delve into the uniquely creative, half-anarchistic atmosphere of that lab, for a personal glimpse, see cell.com/neuron/references/S… (contd.)

optoPAD is an #opensource project published this week in @eLife from @RibeiroLab. optoPAD is a closed-loop optogenetic system, which can be implemented to perturb taste neurons to induce a “virtual taste reality”. More details on OpenBehavior.com edspace.american.edu/openbeh…

A very proud moment: the release of our study describing taste neurons underlying protein appetite. This was a labour of love, with Kathrin Steck, @RibeiroCarlitos and the @RibeiroLab team! Major changes from our @biorxivpreprint, thanks to great feedback! elifesciences.org/articles/3…

How can the year of a mentor start better than with your postdoc @Neuro_CF on the cover of a major national magazine @dntwit as the scientist to watch in 2018!!! Congrats Zita! Let's kick ass! #WomeninSTEMM #scientist2018 #proudmentor
