A fruit fly walking on an agarose laiden treadmill deciding where to lay her eggs! She clearly prefers laying eggs on the green option. Her body is held with a pin to keep her in place allowing for brain activity measurements as well as quantitative behavioral analysis.

@younggouu @RMedzhitov @jkagan1 @Lo_Zanzi Congrats to you and @XuZhouLab !

Just finished day one at my first Brain Computer Interface conference/symposium. Certainly want to make it a habit to attend more events outside of my academic research areas in the future! #NYBCI24

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

@NatashaOBrown1 @RutgersU Perfect! Thanks for the quick reply!

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

@NatashaOBrown1 @RutgersU @NatashaOBrown1 Is there a deadline for this app? Couldn't find one in the ad.

@_prashantbhat @survivorcbs Congrats! 🥳

@grimmrad @lucksmith I'm not a member and was able to vote. I had to setup a login, but didn't have to pay anything.

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

Vote! Lots of good candidates to pick from.

Eric has been a great collaborator and mentor, and I'm sure he would make a great GSA Fly Board President!

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

A nice @CurrentBiology dispatch about our recent work. Helps link our work to the broader neuroscience and Drosophila communities!

‼️🧠Next week, Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285 of The @RockefellerUniv will kick off our NYU SPiNES series! We look forward to hearing more about his latest work on October 5!

Learn more about the series here: https://t.co/OZXKN410RF

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

@Binglong15 Thanks Binglong! 😅

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

@iaahmed123 Thanks! We should find a time to meet up again regardless!

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

Can't wait to share my work with the NYU neuroscience community and meet some amazing scientists!

[Neuroscience at NYU Langone Health @NYULH_Neuro]

🧠✨We’re busy planning exciting things here at the NI - many of which will drop in your feeds starting now

Excited to present this impressive lineup of the 2023-2024 NYU SPiNES speakers!

@ko3600 Thanks BumJin!

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

Excited to have an opportunity to meet more of the Philly neuroscience community and some amazing postdoc colleagues!

If anyone wants to meet, let me know! I'll be around on the 26th and 27th.

[SpinePhiladelphia @SPINEPhilly]

SPINE'23 is 2 weeks away- registration for our meeting (and poster session!!!) is still open! Head over to https://t.co/dgL0AuPMhO to be a part of our all day event. We've got 8 amazing postdoc talks lined up, a poster session, and many opportunities for philly neuro networking.

@iaahmed123 Thanks Ismail!

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

@jenbussell Thanks!

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

@timrpeterson True that, but shorter legs may be the only way to achieve this 😅

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

Would be interesting to see if these methylation sites could be dynamically controlled by the internal/external environment.

I'm intrigued by the possibility that we (fly researchers) may eventually be able to tie dynamic methylation -> neuronal physiology -> behavior. (2/2)

[Vikram Vijayan @vikram0285]

It's rare to link individual modifications on RNA to phenotypes.

Nice work by @TheDrSparkles and @RNAwilinski tying a small subset of RNA methylation sites -> insulin translation -> biological/metabolic phenotypes. (1/2)
