My research inspired Professor Sam Illingworth to write this poem. That's such a beautiful act :) https://t.co/QhR4yoWtFx

Read my latest #research at how insect integrate spatial and temporal information, published with @SpringerNature in @NatureComms https://t.co/XUlYr7zNn5

[MPI for Neurobiology of Behavior – caesar @MPINB_outreach]

🎙️ New episode is live! We had the absolute pleasure of speaking with @MarieDacke @LundVision about dung beetles navigating by the Milky Way, her journey in sensory biology, and the importance of science outreach. https://t.co/maIEaffsde #NeuroVoyagers #Podcast #Neuroscience

[FlyWire @FlyWireNews]

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature.
This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium!

Excited to announce I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland in July 2024! @cwru

Will robots and AI replace scientists? No, our goal is to create robots and ML algorithm that free scientists from labor work to focus on more impactful tasks. The recent publication on the 2nd-gen fly robot from the Schnitzer lab demonstrates our vision. https://t.co/FxcKGTl4w5

Are you puzzled about the oscillating responses of clock neurons?

Our new preprint explains how insects can use these oscillations to correct their compass for the sun's movement during foraging or migration.

Check it out! https://t.co/Xd0FkIDv3y

I’m shock this is true; it’s unacceptable.

[Evripidis Gkanias @evgkanias]

I'm looking forward to #icn2024berlin ! Come and find me on Wednesday at poster session 2 (poster PS2.179), discussing how insects compensate their sun compass for the sun's movement.

So excited about this work! I’m looking forward to see whether this data match our computational model, and how this can be extended.

Beyond illuminating the complexity of visual navigation in flies, this is a step toward bridging the gap between biological mechanisms and abstract cognitive functions, helping us to gain insight into more complex brains, including humans. https://t.co/VUgPEZMaHn

@CChippsPurdue @PurdueSciComm Glad you liked it! 🙏

[Evripidis Gkanias @evgkanias]

@TastekinIbrahim @ChengHuangThu @CommsEng Thanks 🙏

[Evripidis Gkanias @evgkanias]

Our paper is finally published in @CommsEng! Inspired by insects' eyes, we built a compass sensor that can use shining celestial bodies to navigate under cloudy and occluded skies. We also provide insights into how insects do this.
