Our reviewed preprint in eLife is out now! We show that RH7, an ancient opsin in non-retinal structures, shapes how Drosophila responds to light-dark changes. Working on the revision :-).

My main postdoc work is now out :) In the group of @tomtom-auer.bsky.social with Justine Pascual, @bruzz-1.bsky.social , Noemi Sgammeglia , with crucial collaboration with @dahaniel.muench.bio and @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social

Unlike other rhodopsins, fly Rh7 is expressed in many non-retinal neurons. This recent preprint shows why, and Bgee shows where 🤓 🪰

Delighted that my PhD student @v-kirsch.bsky.social received an award for her poster on RHODOPSIN 7 in the @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social section. Many thanks to the @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social for a wonderful and inspiring meeting!

Our new paper is out now!
We show the non-image forming role of #Rhodopsin7 in #Drosophila, expanding our understanding of #opsins beyond classical vision.
This work highlights how #Rh7 contributes to extra-retinal light sensing and plays a role in behavioral light responses.

Plakat von Frontex. Es gibt 8 verschiedene im Comic-Style gezeichnete Bilder, auf denen zwei Kinder zu sehen sind, die den Abschiebungsprozess durchlaufen. Zuerst werden sie zum Flughafen gebracht, dann Passkontrolle, auf dem Weg ins Flugzeug, in den Sitzreihen und am Ende im Zielland nach der Landung. Dabei sehen sie die ganze Zeit ganz fröhlich und vergnügt aus.
Dies ist kein Fake.
Es handelt sich um ein neues Plakat, das Frontex entworfen hat, um Kindern während einer Abschiebung zu erklären, was gerade geschieht und wie es weitergeht.
Die eigene Abschiebung als Abenteuergeschichte.
🤯
Comic zeigt Person, die in Handschellen abgeführt wird. Text dazu: „Möglicherweise siehst Du jemanden mit Handschellen. So sind er und die anderen sicher.“
Habe das hier gefunden. op.europa.eu/o/opportal-s...

They will go after Wikipedia.
They will go after libraries.
They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports.
They will go after archives.
Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy.
Thinking is the enemy.
Nice graphic of #Drosophila stock keeping.
