“Once you start working with flies, you get addicted. In flies, we can use sophisticated, classical genetics and generate transgenic animals to devise elegant strategies that address fundamental questions" by Hugo Bellen

@RichardTuxworth @crezaval thank you Richard, let me know if you need any help =)

Just published! In here I show a fast, easy and cheap alternative to the conventional H&E staining to detect vacuoles in the fly brain.

Você sabia que os pesquisadores estudam epilepsia em drosófila? Essa pequena mosquinha tem muita coisa pra ensinar pra gente, venha comigo conferir em mais um vídeo do Drosofilia! Compartilhe, vamos juntos descobrir como a ciência é feita 😊

@PastelBio has anyone actually tried to use this tool? how long does it take to generate a map? I have been trying for over a day and I can`t get a of two proteins.

Behind the smile and quick “I’m okay” is often a lot of not okay. Check in with the people in your life.

Someone who has been always interested in studying the living tissue. This is just one sample of how much you contribute to the field, my dear @GuilSciLab

[Guilherme O. Barbosa @GuilSciLab]

If you study #cytonemes #filopodia and have not reached AI for your image analysis yet, you might want to check this protocol I developed at the @kornberg_t Lab to image the cytonemes of the ASP in #Drosophila.
@UCSF @ucsfmakerslab @STARProtocols. Thanks.

Já está no ar o sexto vídeo do canal Drosofilia. Nele mostro como eu trabalho com as mosquinhas no laboratório. Ficou curioso? Venha comigo, só 2 minutos do seu dia pra aprender algo novo :)
