Very proud of the work of Ganesh M. Nawkar Martina Legris at Center for Integrative Genomics, UNIL (CH) with invaluable help from many others: Air channels create a directional light signal to regulate hypocotyl phototropism science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our new preprint on the evolution of Drosophila courtship song, led by Justin Walsh , Dajia Ye, and Ian Junker: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join us for the 2024 #Lausanne Omics Days Université de Lausanne! Great line-up of speakers and topics - #singlecell & #spatialtranscriptomics to #metabolomics, #genome #biology and #deeplearning. For more information: wp.unil.ch/gtf/lod-2024/

Calling all Early Career Researchers! Newton International Fellowships 2024 are open. If you're aiming to kickstart your research career in the UK, this is for you! Interested? DM me to discuss your project and how I can support your application before 10 Feb 2024.

The embargo on our latest Science article just lifted! We are excited to finally be able to share our findings on the effects of pollution on pollinator visits to flowers. Here's a link to the New York TImes article which will be in the paper tomorrow: nytimes.com/2024/02/08/sci…

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, and across all #science disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary.. 🧵 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

A major milestone for researchers in Switzerland: this spring, they can participate again in an ERC call after an almost three-year hiatus. Being involved in #HorizonEurope, the largest research programme worldwide, is key for Swiss research.

Fun project with old and new friends: “Making #genome editing a success story in #Africa”. nature.com/articles/s4158… Based on our experience with TReND in Africa, with @pamafrica, AUDA-NEPAD and others we discuss the transformative potential #GEd can and should have in Africa.

We are excited to announce the next Workshop on Neural Circuits & Behavior of Drosophila that will be held at the Orthodox Academy of Crete (OAC), Kolymbari, from June 15-21, 2025. Please RT.

Excited to share a first pre-print from my lab Uni Fribourg: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Led by a fantastic student, Bene Dürr, with the help of a great team: Enrico, Suguru Takagi, Richard Benton et al.! We use single cell labelling in the brain to investigate evolution of neuroanatomy.

Having more sensory neurons sounds beneficial for perception and behavior, but is it? If so, how? Check out our new publication for some new theories. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Huge collaborative effort, started many years ago with Richard Benton, and pushed through by the amazing Suguru Takagi. Thanks to all great collaborators and friends around the globe involved!
