Roseate spoonbills will splash their wings through the water as part of their beauty routine. Here's one doing so mid-splash, facing straight ahead towards the camera. I really love this shot. #birds

C. elegans is a real animal and we set out to understand how it comes to have its distinctive biogeography. Its ancestral center of diversity is in the higher elevation forests of Hawaii. Its closest relatives are spread across east Asia. Did they travel from Asia? [Preprint π§΅]

Gut epithelium modifies enteric behaviors during nutritional adversity via distinct peptidergic signaling axes
Gut epithelium modulates output from distinct enteric circuits by altering secretion of insulin and noninsulin peptides.
Very excited to share this finding from my postdoctoral work that is now published in #ScienceAdvances. We show how the gutβs epithelium modifies enteric behaviors during nutritional adversity via distinct peptidergic signaling axes.

ALT text: A UMAP representation of a single cell RNAseq dataset from the Drosophila ventral nerve cord as well as images of the Drosophila nerve cord connectome and different stages of fly development.
Neuronal diversity is written in transcriptional codes π§¬. But what is the logic of these codes that define cell types and wiring patterns?
To find out we built a #scRNAseq developmental atlas of the Drosophila nerve cord and linked it to the #connectome πͺ°π§

New preprint: Scientists, how many times has this happened to you? You collect all kinds of data from a camera or microscope. But then you are faced with an analysis pipeline that threatens to take 100x longer than collecting the data did!
