To be a good day it should include Dance, Science and Running. #HechoEnCU #antScienceRocks No to violence, Yes to hugs 🙃

I have no words to describe how special is to be part of the #SCIONY community 🥰 thanks @rockedu_ for the opportunity to collaborate with you 🤓 Leonora Olivos Cisneros - RockEDU https://t.co/swMoRRiFEy

New paper in @CurrentBiology by @aninditabrahma_, @Dom_Frank3, Daniel Hejazi Pastor, and @patKpiekarski @RockefellerUniv. We discovered that ants use a wild “new” mechanism to regulate gene expression at large tandem arrays of odorant receptors (1/7): https://t.co/UACTIwckaw

This week @DanielKronauer brought the ants to the people @BellHouseNY through the fantastic @SecretSciClub series. The audience asked a ton of smart questions, and the entire lab turned out in custom tees to represent their Clonal Raider Ant Project!

Muy agradecida por la amena charla con @Geraldinecastf y la oportunidad de compartir con @wiredenespanol un poco de lo que hacemos para tratar de entender la conducta de las hormigas 🐜

[Geraldine Castro @Geraldinecastf]

En @wiredenespanol estamos de mantel largo porque @leonoraoc nos contó a detalle cómo usan ingeniería genética para estudiar neurobiología en hormigas🐜

[Daniel Kronauer @DanielKronauer]

@Geraldinecastf talked to @leonoraoc about our recent paper on transgenic ants and how they sense alarm pheromones, and then wrote about it for Wired. It’s a great read / es una lectura fantástica:

[Rockefeller University @RockefellerUniv]

Researchers in @danielkronauer's lab have created the world’s first transgenic ants, whose olfactory sensory neurons flash neon green in the presence of odors. Using this new experimental system, they've shed light on how colonies respond to danger signals.https://t.co/meuW9G5jPG

@DanielKronauer Bring some cheese, I’ll be happy to assist if you prefer an omelette 🐜🥚🐜

@DanielKronauer @teraxurato @Dom_Frank3 @lindselopes @MendelsLOLs @buck_trible @ameliaritger @StephanyValdesR Thanks for dreaming so much 🐜 CRAP 🐜

[Leonora @leonoraoc]

We have so much to learn about the social brain, the future of ant research is bright ✨🐜✨
Such a privilege to be part of this amazing team @RockefellerUniv @DanielKronauer

[Daniel Kronauer @DanielKronauer]

Our first neurogenetic study of ants survived peer review and just appeared OA in its final form @CellCellPress @CellPressNews: https://t.co/RJj0eas8a1. @teraxurato & team @RockefellerUniv created the first transgenic ants and identified a sensory hub for alarm behavior. 1/8

@ElAgusdeKomodo @MorelosJornada 👏👏👏 muchas felicidades por el merecido reconocimiento 🥂

Work by twitterless MD/PhD student Iryna Ivasyk, in collaboration with @Schmitz_Lab: clonal raider ants develop normally despite greatly reduced DNA methylation, but they don’t lay eggs without a functional DNMT1 enzyme.

[Buck Trible @buck_trible]

Hey friends, today our 7-year queen-like mutant project is out in Current Biology. These mutant raider ants show the core traits of parasitic ant species, but arose in a laboratory stock just a handful of generations before we discovered them -- probably due to a mutant supergene

[Daniel Kronauer @DanielKronauer]

@MiryamNaddaf writes about the ant GCaMP study by @teraxurato, also featuring @Dom_Frank3, @lindselopes, @leonoraoc, @MendelsLOLs, @buck_trible, @ameliaritger, and @StephanyValdesR. The #preprint is here: https://t.co/8GnpHAWtFw

[Leonora @leonoraoc]

@JeanneGarb @RockefellerUniv @darnelr We can and we will 🐜🐜🐜 we call it #teamwork and I cANT wait

[Leonora @leonoraoc]

@ElAgusdeKomodo Tienes toda la razón!! Ya decía yo que le faltaba algo, el microbito hubiera hecho toda la diferencia 🤓

[Leonora @leonoraoc]

First transgenic ants are teaching us so much about the neural basis of social olfaction 🐜 I’m really grateful to be part of this amazing team 🐜 #science #antScienceRocks @RockefellerUniv

[Daniel Kronauer @DanielKronauer]

Out on bioRxiv today: the first transgenic ants (in Christmas colors) provide some really cool insights into how the complex ant olfactory system works, and how general odorants and pheromones are represented in the ant brain. An absolute tour de force led by @teraxurato:
