Preprint Alert! Walking mostly feels natural and easy to us - but the neuronal control of walking is actually incredibly complex. We leveraged the fruit fly as a genetically tractable animal model with a compact nervous system to ask how the brain controls walking direction: tinyurl.com/flywalk. 🧵..

🚨 We’re looking for a PhD student! 🧠🪰
Join the Münch Lab at @jlugiessen.bsky.social to study how neural circuits turn sensory input into behavior.

We use #Drosophila, combining:
🔬 Imaging
🧬 Neurogenetics
🐝 Behavior

Drosophila Genetic Database The Drosophila Genetic Database, FlyBase, is on the brink of collapse due to the sudden termination of the FlyBase NIH grant, which includes salaries for 5 literature curators based at the University ...

Flybase lost all of the NIH support overnight - it is a disaster for the community. Please consider donating. I just did! www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

A picture of Nikos presenting our panel discussion

Topic 1: Preprints, Peer Review, and the Publishing Ecosystem Do funders and hiring committees take preprints seriously? Is publishing in high-impact journals still essential for early-career success? Should peer review remain central, or is it time for new models? What is the future of journals? Topic 2: The Funding Landscape for Young Investigators Do funders prioritize innovation or track record? Are small, early-career labs truly competitive in collaborative or interdisciplinary grants? Are funding agencies adapting to open science? Is there an implicit bias against Drosophila or model organisms?
