Hopefully folks here aren't sick of Fairywrens yet, because I don't think I'll ever tire of watching them! Such delightful, beautiful little birds.

Really looking forward to the SNUFA workshop tomorrow. It's not too late to sign up (free). snufa.net/2022/ - two afternoons packed with great talks on spiking neural networks.

We're hiring a senior editor at Scientific American to help run our opinion, commentary & analysis coverage. Thanks for applying or recommending the job to people you think would be good candidates. https://careers.springernature.com/job/New-York-Senior-Opinion-Editor%2C-Scientific-American/866115301/

From the outset, the bioRxiv vision has been to decouple dissemination and peer review. It's a sign of how far things have come that there'll be an entire HHMI meeting on preprint review (Dec 1-2) - which you can stream https://www.janelia.org/you-janelia/conferences/recognizing-preprint-peer-review

Deadline tomorrow! We are hiring postdocs for two projects. One seeks to reveal how neural activity is structured in brainwide patterns to support diverse behaviors in mice. The other aims to relate the activity of a single neuron with that of thousands of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons across the mouse cortex (w Alipasha Vaziri and Federico Rossi). We are interested in people with diverse backgrounds, not only those with specific experience. https://tinyurl.com/CortexlabPostdoc. #neuroscience

Today, Mastodon is buzzing and happy. A huge chunk of my #twitter community is not just here, but active. feed flows like a waterfall again.

Twitter was never the tech. It was always the people. A moveable feast. And it moved.

Europe has just experienced its warmest October on record, with temperatures nearly 2°C above the 1991-2020 reference period ♨️

Only 10 more days until #flyday! Is it a real holiday? It is if we say it is! So what's your plan to shout the wonders of Drosophila from the rooftops? #w1118 #flyday2022

For us establishing new techniques from @JoVEJournal works usually better than from any high impact journal. Wondering if adding obligatory video instructions (for method papers) may improve the overall reproducibility

North America’s Wasp Mantisfly, Climaciella brunnea, is not a wasp, nor a mantis, nor a fly, but a species of lacewing.

My #introduction. I run a small not-for profit research organization that depends on writing grants and publishing papers for its success. I guess you call that a #laboratory and I’m the PI. We study somatosensation, primarily in the #drosophila larva. Our main focus has been on pain and #nociception. We also study parasitoid wasps and larval defenses against them. I’m also into #cycling and #sailing and I once did a #seabattical in the #Caribbean. Current post is at #IndianaUniversity.

Here comes the #Introduction. I am a postdoc original from #Colombia interested in #insects, #evodevo #genetics 🧬 and #patterning.

I work with butterfly 🦋 color patterns as a model to study #wnt #signaling, #generegulation, and #morphological evolution. Connecting the #genotype to the #phenotype is the goal!!!

I am a #Latina, working at GWU, in DC. #FirstGen

Done tons of #CRISPR experiments in different species of #Lepidoptera
