My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses.

So much fun hanging out with friends and teaching them to cook Indian food!👨‍🍳🍴
New members of Sunil's Biryani Academy!! 😁
My new-found secret - #JeeraSambaRice is the best for biryani!

Very happy to be receiving the Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship. On an unrelated note, our lab is always looking for motivated postdocs. And we recently raised our salaries to $72k; yes, in Kansas City.

[Ching-Han Lee @ChingHanLee28]

@Ozel_MN Awesome!!! Congrats

[Yu-Chieh David Chen @YCDavidChen]

Absolutely honored to receive my K99/R00 award from @NatEyeInstitute today. Feeling very excited for the next step and the opportunity to transition to an independent faculty position in the near future! Lots of cool science to come! #K99Award #Gratitude #NextChapter

[HFSP @HFSP]

Bees, mold, muscles, bacterial communities or epithelial tissues, among many other #frontierscience...the first morning of the 23rd HFSP Awardees Meeting was full of cutting-edge research! And of course, some social networking moments😉 #HFSPMeeting2024

[Desplan Lab @DesplanLab]

Former and current lab members Bogdan, Olena, Jakub, and Shadi collaborated with the Yan Lab at UF to show how a protein essential for the insect sense of smell appears important for the survival of smell-sensing neurons in ants. (1/3)

[Chentomology @czbugsart]

There’re about 15k or so ant species described (depends on which references you’re looking at), and it’s one of my favorite insect group 🖤🐜 I’ve done this piece to thank you all for 15k followers (it spiked up to 16k meanwhile I’m so excited!) Thank you all for liking my work!

[Desplan Lab @DesplanLab]

Wow, what an exciting way to end the semester! Postdoc @YCDavidChen received the NYU 2024 College of Arts and Sciences Outstanding Teaching Award! Congratulations on this outstanding recognition🌟#NYUCAS #TeachingExcellence

[Nikos Konstantinides @nkonst4]

We are still recruiting!

If you are into neuronal evolution or neuronal circuits or you just enjoy generating new tools in different bugs, please consider applying. The call is still open and will be until the position is filled.

More information by email or DM.

Please RT.

[Harmit S. Malik @HarmitMalik]

Delighted to have @fungi_worms @IMBSinica at @fredhutch @HutchBasicSci for a fantastic seminar on genetic basis of diff strategies of nematode-trapping fungi. Her talk should come with trigger alerts for nematologists 😅😱; absolutely fascinating biology done & presented superbly

[Asif Bakshi @AsifABakshi]

Amazing talk by Jennifer Malin from @DesplanLab sharing her work on spatial patterning as a mechanism to regulate neuronal number in fly visual system. #TAGC24

[Ching-Han Lee @ChingHanLee28]

@Holguera_Isabel @nkonst4 @IJMonod @CNRS Congratulations!! So happy for you

[Desplan Lab @DesplanLab]

It's been a while, but never too late to share exciting updates from the Desplan Lab!

Beetle workout schedule 🪲💪

[Yu-Chieh David Chen @YCDavidChen]

Proud mentor moment! My first undergraduate mentee in Desplan lab, Nathalie Shoji, has received the Albert Borgman Thesis Prize for the best honors thesis in Science at NYU! It's great to see her highlighted on the departmental website. Well done, Nathalie!

[Desplan Lab @DesplanLab]

We are delighted to share that coming in November 2023, Neşet Özel will be starting his lab at Stowers Institute. The Özel lab will study gene regulatory mechanisms of neuronal diversification and connectivity. Congratulations, Neşet! https://t.co/RurQ9dWoLD

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine
We report an extraordinary reproductive system in the yellow crazy ant. 🐜
Males of this species are all chimeras: they carry maternal and paternal genomes in different cells of their body. https://t.co/1DNQgrmJ4T

[Ching-Han Lee @ChingHanLee28]

Way to go, man!

[Desplan Lab @DesplanLab]

Congratulations to @ycchen_tw on receiving a 2023 Dean's Outstanding Graduate Student Teaching Award from NYU's GSAS!

[Ching-Han Lee @ChingHanLee28]

Thanks all the supports from Claude and the Ant group. Can’t wait to share our findings in the future!

[Desplan Lab @DesplanLab]

We are excited to share that @ChingHanLee28 has been awarded an @HFSP long-term fellowship. Congratulations on this achievement! #2023HFSPawardee
