Expresamos nuestro rechazo enérgico a las declaraciones del congresista @ErnesBustamante que desde la ignorancia, rechazo a la evidencia y estereotipos atribuye la menor participación de mujeres en ciencia a supuestas "características biológicas". Más en: https://t.co/cIDw8shkUQ

I'm thrilled to share this story! Flies tend to aggregate, as I’m sure you have experienced in your kitchen. They lay eggs around the same places and form clusters even in the absence of food. But, what happens when they meet other flies for the first time? ...

Thus, a center for learning and memory seems to play a fundamental role in establishing the basis for most social interactions. I hope you enjoy it! https://t.co/RoAI99QZqE

Finishing your PhD and interested in the Physics of Life? This is a reminder that we have several different postdoctoral opportunities. We coordinate, but best to apply to all that seem relevant. Please consider joining our lively and interactive community. Deadlines soon!

Are #Drosophila accessory medulla neurons oscillating coherently? Check out our preprint Neuronal Synchronization in Drosophila, featuring DUAL patch clamp recordings from the great @lforencia and the impeccable theory by oscillation experts Marcos Wappner y Luis Morelli (1/7)

The life strategies of #parasitoids are stunningly diverse, but no wasps that attack and develop inside adult flies have ever been described. Our article describes the first one. Its hosts: Drosophila melanogaster and other species of #Drosophila

Sex or survival—what’s more important? Excited to share our @Nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict.

We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating.

"I study the fly brain. I am interested in how this tiny brain, itself smaller than some single brain cells in your cortex, can enable the insect to navigate through space...

Can you predict the activity of INDIVIDUAL NEURONS without recording them? Hint: the answer is YES

Happy to highlight a paper from @BenjoCowley @jpillowtime @MurthyLab showing how one can use artificial neural networks to dissect the mechanisms of complex neural circuits - in this case visual circuits used by the fruit fly to find a mate!

In 2019 I went to Cambridge to debate @lengyel_m on the usefulness of Marr's Three Levels of Analysis. We've finally published a pair of "CrossTalk" articles in @JPhysiol laying out our positions.

Excited to release this new pre-print (https://t.co/kO7APZiTXw)🎉  In a complex visual environment, how do flies (like below) know what to focus on?

We uncovered neuronal pathways through which social states (like aggression🥊 and courtship) modulate visual processing. 1/
