Check out this video featuring @NIH_ORIP funded projects and highlighting opportunities for collab

Love this example of how #Drosophila researchers have fun assigning fly gene names.

orsai = “Argentinian street language for the football term ’offside’” ⚽️

[Stephanie E. Mohr @smohrfly]

Cool example of how research in flies can lead to health-relevant discoveries in mammals 🪰🐭🧬

Check this out from @SilvermanNeal and team

[Dr Neal Silverman @SilvermanNeal]

For all the innate immunity tweeps out there, I am very excited to share our newest story on the role of SLC46s in muropeptide sensing in mammals: https://t.co/vJy8Qe2adM. This story was the labor of love for a very talented and fearless postdoc @RaviBha47100419. 1/17

[Clement Chow @ClementYChow]

Another one! This time from @ChowLab postdoc @HansMDalton! A collab with Perimon lab & @smohrfly. Hans wanted to find modifiers of DPAGT1-CDG, a disorder of N glycosylation. 2 cell based CRISPR screens with lots of in vivo validation. 1/ https://t.co/CCUuXBocNB

Loving this thread on low-tech portable anesthetic set-ups for fly research

“the lowest-tech option is literally breathing on a bunch of flies”

[Stephanie E. Mohr @smohrfly]

Have had **amazing** interactions talking genetic technologies and insect biology with teachers and students thru @SkypeScientist

Filled me with optimism for the future of science

Sign up! Spread the word!

[Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D @SarahMackAttack]

OK people!!

It's time to tell every teacher, scout troop leader, librarian, or group organizer you know that @SkypeScientist is OPEN FOR FALL.

We match scientists with any group that wants to talk with a scientist for free.

Mention Daft Punk, Drosophila, and chocolate, all in one short essay?

Yes. Did that!

Excited to celebrate Bug Week with @Orion_Magazine

[Orion Magazine @Orion_Magazine]

In a recent Twitter poll, an entomologist asked his followers to choose their favorite bug out of 4 options: wasps, beetles, flies, or moths.

Flies lost. Big time. So for #BugWeek, one biologist is here with an important message: flies can be cool, too!

THREAD: It's an unofficial holiday here at Orion: Bug Week! 🪲

In celebration of our newest anthology, The Book of Bugs, we'll be dedicating this week to sharing some of our favorite insect stories, old and new. Let's go. (1/?) https://t.co/P75YtIxzUt

@Lord_of_Flyz (A lot like this *fly*, I mean!)

[Stephanie E. Mohr @smohrfly]

@Lord_of_Flyz There’s a picture of Eutreta noveboracensis in Marshall’s Insects Their Natural History & Diversity that looks a lot like this

[Cassandra Extavour @redmakeda]

It was a pleasure to work on this piece with @sioroberts and @nytimes, who brought the mystery and beauty of development and collaboration to more readers than we can reach with the primary scientific literature alone. https://t.co/hhebDeGkzl🧵1/4

[Stephanie E. Mohr @smohrfly]

Great advice for folks at any career stage from the @GeneticsGSA ECLP communications team!

The decline among insects is one symptom among many that we are not treating our planet as we should, writes Stephanie Mohr (@smohrfly).

Got to admire a report that cites Morgan’s 1910 paper on the #Drosophila white gene

Any ideas why I saved this mini-CD from ⁦@ScienceMagazine⁩ ? Special issue? Fancy tech in its day?

New work @WIRED

“….scientists can no longer justify silence in the name of objectivity or use the escape tactic of “leaving politics out of science.”

Really enjoying this review on a “remarkable system”—the fly wing disc—from Tripathi & Irvine https://t.co/p4SyYtWJrE
