jeb.biologists.org/content/223/9/… Hamed Rajabi and colleagues suggest that flying insects exhibit a great resilience to wing injuries not only because wings have evolved to be damage tolerant but also because insects might compensate for wing damage by altering wing kinematics.

With the help of tiny fruit flies, a new study in Current Biology from ASRC researcher @orieshafer and Barnard College researcher Maria P. Fernandez is shedding light on how circadian network neurons do the work of adjusting the body clock. asrc.gc.cuny.edu/headlines/2020…

We will celebrate at some point together, with Robert flies, jasmin flowers and yummy food!!

A few years and a great collaboration with the Portugues lab @mpiNeuro TU München later, this is finally out and we are happy. Valence and State-Dependent Population Coding in Dopaminergic Neurons in the Fly Mushroom Body cell.com/current-biolog…

1/n How about some fireflies to start the weekend? Thrilled to share our first firefly preprint on “Spatiotemporal reconstruction of emergent flash synchronization in firefly swarms” biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…  #FireflyFriday (best photo ever by @Myrmecos)

Missing the MBL and Woods Hole? Our Eel Pond live stream is up 24/7! youtu.be/moLxu7LGuKk

Our mayfly paper on the genomic adaptations to aquatic&terrestrial habitats & on the origin of insect wings is finally out in Nature Communications. Great work w/ Fernando Casares Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Centro Andaluz de Biología del Desarrollo DMC2 CABD #evodevo 1/n disq.us/t/3p120zq

Hey! 📢 Let's make the planned furloughs at the Uni fair. The proposed plan hits the lower earners the hardest (rate of cuts is highest for lowest earners). THIS IS NOT OK. There is an alternative 👇

Yes, 2020 is mad. But there is also great things: Dr. Kate Feller is starting as an Assitant Professor at union college!!!! Not only she is an incredible scientist, she is also an amazing artist. I will update with pics of this, most awesome lab present, on the lab wall.

Check out our NEW Neuroimaging Postdoc Fellowship Program at the University of Minnesota! We are currently accepting applications until November 29, 2021. Please share this postdoc opportunity with your networks! Learn more on our website: z.umn.edu/MNNeuroimaging…

📢 Postdoc position to 📼neural⚡️from 🐉🪰 🧠 🪰 Our unpublished behavioral data is NEAT, and this post will follow up on such findings by looking for the neural correlates. 💡Info in the thread, please share widely!

For the love of science. I am giving a talk on the 14th of Feb in NY. 🧠❤️🪰👀 Register and say hi if you are around… ( or if you are into -#decisions #prediction #robberfly #predation #neuroscience )

New open access paper out on the wonderful Gnat Ogre (Holcocephala fusca), with Paloma GB, in Journal of Experimental Biology . In it, you can find out how these tiny killers deal with physical obstacles on their way to hunt lunch on the wing. 1/6

Robber flies intercept their victims on the wing and now Sam Fabian and Paloma GB have discovered that the aeronauts use a simultaneous combination of obstacle avoidance with their conventional interception strategy to bring down dinner journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

When @neuroethology #icn2022lisbon and the visual field giants are gathered in front of you… Eric warrant, Herman Wagner, Justin Marshall, Barrie Frost, Jack Pettigrew, Tom cronin… and thinking of Michael Land of course.

oh! yeash! Congrats to Sam and Mary. They were the first 2 people that I employed in the lab, and they always worked together beautifully.

Amazing opportunity for early career scientist to present their work and for everyone to hear about the latest advances in the field! Please consider nominating (or self nominate) a speaker and register for The Future of Neuroethology webinar series!
