It is with great pleasure that I reduce years of work in the @casa_tuthill lab to a few tweets. How do neural circuits transform sensory info from limb proprioceptors? Whats their effect on motor control? We explore these questions in our new preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

here's a little summary of new research on our bat-eat-bug world!

delighted to learn that adopting Sydney Brannoch, Ph.D. 's food means expanding my newly carnivorous diet. safe travels to alaska!

Anyone have tips for dealing with microscope eyepiece mask fog? 🔬😷🌫️

Thank you Edwin Lindo ✊🏾 for a compelling talk today to the UW neuro grad program! & thank you to the 2nd yrs for organizing a retreat that encourages us to start this year w/ a common critical framework for talking about racism & addressing systemic obstacles to equity & inclusion

Commentary on a nice set of experiments examining wasp fight etiquette!

For further reading after you've checkout the Charles H. Turner bio in Science today, I recommend his fantastic papers! His writing is magical to read knowing that his ideas came from his intuition and experiments, not the current dogma. jstor.org/stable/1635534…

UW Neuroscience community: make sure to tune in today at the weekly seminar for the first installment of Be Boundless Seminars to hear about exciting research from UW senior scientists, acting instructors, and postdocs! featuring @irinakitop and Dr. Barbara Juarez

Incredible trailer for the new Katamari game, I assume

very well-put & important thread - feels like the word "inclusive" often means something more like "wanting to appear inclusive without doing the work" - spoiler alert this thread gives some steps for ~doing the work~!

Moonlighting as an engineer for some virtual after-school science - now I understand why real bridges need such strong tape!

Some big-eyed spiders use senses other than vision to actively catch prey in the dark! Learning about them definitely did not prompt any nightmares jeb.biologists.org/content/224/1/…

We're looking forward to it! 1:30 PST, zoom link: depts.washington.edu/neurogrd/event…

Eagerly awaiting the US release of quentin dupieux's new movie.......

. Ellen Lesser reports on Abel Corver and co's recent Current Biology paper showing that even though each stage of #spiderweb construction is made up of similar sets of manoeuvres, the probability that one move will follow another is different for each stage journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

One of the coolest things about Drosophila is that over its life it has 2 different bodies: squishy larva & spindly adult. In a preprint review @casa_tuthill & I explore proprioceptive control of these 2 forms & speculate what a comparison might reveal arxiv.org/abs/2201.03630

I liked this book too much to recommend. I felt like I was holding my breath through the entire book, fully suspended in the text. Hoping to see Labutat's previous books translated into English now that everyone is picking up this one

Yes! Come say hi tomorrow!

Check out our investigation into how the nervous system is wired to coordinate movement! Working on the FANC dataset has been both inspiring and humbling in the best ways, and I'm honored to be part of the team 🙂
