Why a database of bug genes could be one of Trump’s most devastating cuts at Harvard FlyBase, the world's only fruit fly database, is in the crosshairs of Trump's attack on Harvard. Here's why it could matter for your health.

MassLive.com recently interviewed several Harvard FlyBase people and wrote this news article about the importance of FlyBase: tinyurl.com/4chpts9f

Hey #Drosophila folks - its #fivedays to go to sign up as #FlyCROSS #mentor 👀

Heterozygous RAB3A variants cause cerebellar ataxia by a partial loss-of-function mechanism Using an untargeted computational genetic association approach and classical linkage analysis, Hengel et al. identify RAB3A as a gene linked to autosomal d

Another video of a developping drosophila embryo, but this time rotating. I beleive tjis was generated in Python using @maweigert.bsky.social 's spimagine rendering tool.

My mom got polio a couple of months before the vaccine got to Mexico. She passed her teenage years in bed and was only able to walk again for the uncountable hours her grandma spent giving her therapy. #vaccinesSafeLives

I joined 75+ @nobelprize.bsky.social laureates urging US Senators to oppose RFK Jr.'s confirmation as DHHS Secretary. If you’re in a state with GOP senators, PLEASE reach out to them! I’d deeply appreciate it if you amplified this post! 🙏

Implementation and validation of single-cell genomics experiments in neuroscience - Nature Neuroscience Single-cell or single-nucleus RNA-sequencing experiments form a basis for biological insights about cell types and states, but they require orthogonal experiments to confirm the functional relevance o...

Implementation and validation of single-cell genomics experiments in neuroscience - a consensus paper.

Excited to contribute perturbation-based approaches.

New review: together with PhD student Ciarán Butler-Hallissey, we provide a comprehensive overview on how super-resolution microscopy can dissect the neuronal cytoskeleton, and the exciting perspectives ahead. Shock full of beautiful images, published or from our lab! www.nature.com/articles/s44...

This is a good figure and teaching material. One useful addition would be to put a label under each naming the model organism.

Recently saw this while preparing some teaching material on the #History_of_Neuroscience. This is special. Here #Cajal is sharing his reaction after seeing neurons stained with the #Golgi_stain. #Cajal_and_Golgi had conflicting views about the structure of the neurons.
