very excited about my K99/R00 application being funded NIH NIGMS. Grateful for support from many mentors and advisers including Vanessa Ruta, santiago ramirez, Daniel Kronauer, Lucia Prieto, Brandon S. Cooper, Lindy McBride Here is a celebratory fly chase for y'all!

Really, really cool work by Suguru Takagi Thomas Auer Richard Benton et al. Circuit evolution with the elegance of the Drosophila experimental toolkit. Congrats! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨🚨🚨 New preprint out by Rory Coleman et al. with Yun Ding and Vanessa Ruta on the neural evolution of courtship across Drosophila. Beautiful dissection of circuit differentiation reveals the modular role of neural subpopulations in rapid evolution. tinyurl.com/flyneuroEvo

I love all my children equally, but this one is especially dear and long leaving the nest. On its way, Margaret Chapman added extensive evolutionary analysis with collab Matthew L Holding "venomatt." Congrats Margarita and Margaret! @BMCbiology MCDB Michigan bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

The UC Davis Center for Population Biology postdoctoral fellowship is now being advertised. This is a great opportunity to come join our wonderful community of Evolution & Ecology here at Davis. Please RT. cpb.sf.ucdavis.edu/cpb-postdoc-fe…

Excited to head to NYC tomorrow (even if it's my 3rd time this month) to be a keynote at the Rockefeller University The Kavli Foundation Kavli Neuroscience symposium on "Microbiota and the Brain". Thanks Philipp Brand for the invite! rockefeller.edu/research/inter…

Thanks for a fantastic Kavli NSI symposium on 'microbiota and the brain' Rockefeller University The Kavli Foundation! Great lineup Jason Shepherd Elaine Hsiao begüm aydın @[email protected] Mike O'Donnell , great science, great people. Looking forward to next time!!

Thank you Rockefeller University Kavli Fellows & Philipp (Philipp Brand) for a great symposium and the opportunity to share my research amongst role models!

Animals often congregate in large social groups to find mates. But how does an individual actually pick who to reproduce with? A few years ago, @Rufeiiiii, Vanessa Ruta, and I started thinking a lot about this, and I am thrilled to share what we found 🧵 bit.ly/flytriad

Love animal social evolution? Keen on fieldwork? Ready to brave the odd sting in the name of science? Come and do your PhD on African #wasps! 🐝Join us at Bristol (National Geographic’s ‘coolest city in Europe’ 😎) University of Bristol Biological Sciences Science at the Natural History Museum @asab_tweets

It’s CosyneMeeting workshops time! Join us tomorrow to think about what unique species and comparative work can bring to systems + comp neuro Siddharth Jayakumar #Cosyne24

🕊️🎁Our new paper is out with Selmaan Chettih , Steph Hale, and Dmitriy Aronov!! Appreciate the people, the birds, and the neuroethology path. Access link (open until May 18): authors.elsevier.com/c/1ir1ML7PXqQ4q🎁🕊️

Excited to share our newest paper, in which we report our discovery that monogamous oldfield mice have very recently evolved a novel cell type in their adrenal glands that promotes parental care 🧵 Work led by the fabulous Natalie Niepoth and Jenny Merritt rdcu.be/dH1Kn

Really happy to share Stephen Montgomery 's and my Review on the Evolution of neural circuitry and cognition with you. A thread (of course!) (1/10) Royal Society Publishing #brainevolution royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

We still have some open position for a motivated PhD and/or PostDoc fellow to join our team @UniFr. If comparative (neuro)science excites you, this is for you! More info here: unifr.ch/bio/en/departm…. Application open until position is filled. Please RT

Incredible symposium for the Breakout Prize yesterday, made even more special by having my family there for the celebration. A heartfelt thank you to Cori Bargmann for establishing the award and for her moving introduction, and to Marraffini Lab for his mentorship and support!

My lab at NYU Center for Neural Science is recruiting trainees at all levels starting in Jan 2025! Our goal is to understand how behavioral variables such as calorie intake and time estimates are computed using molecules inside individual neurons. stephenzhanglab.org

This is wrong, but there is a lot of confusion about why (thread)

Hi All! Our seminar series will restart 11th September 2024, 5 pm CET. Robin Tinghitella and Philipp Brand will tell us about sensory ecology and its role in speciation. Link on the IOS website. Stay tuned for talk titles! speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/seminar-series/

Looking forward to talking about sensory ecology and speciation alongside Dr. Robin Tinghitella @[email protected] in the Speciation_network seminar series soon! -> talks + panel discussion will be online only! check speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/seminar-series/ for link to tune in
