Lovely decorated cream cake especially made for the social dinner of the symposium. The logo of the symposium was printed on marzipan.

We had a great European Symposium for Insect Taste and Olfaction, ESITO, on Sardinia where I was invited to talk about evolutionary aspects. This was how spiders entered an insect meeting πŸ˜‰.πŸ•·πŸ§ͺ

How ant queens are made - News Daniel Kronauer’s research on an unusual ant species illuminates the biochemistry and genetics behind complex social behaviorβ€”and potentially offers clues to the evolution of our own social brains.

New research from @danielkronauer.bsky.social's lab in @pnas.org sheds light on how a young ant’s future is determined by genetics and the environment, finding that genes not only influence size, they change what a given size means for the colony. #RockefellerScience

Alcohol makes male fruit flies sexier! New study from Ian Keesey, Bill Hansson et al. in Science Advances shows that alcohol boosts sex pheromone production in male D. melanogaster, making them more attractive to females. But too much is a turnoff!
