Tickled to see Satpreet Singh’s paper on DRL for plume tracking on the cover of Nature Machine Intelligence! Also with Rajesh P. N. Rao Floris van Breugel (Image is a watercolor by me 😊) nature.com/articles/s4225…

Here is a great little #DeepLook popular science video about the diving alkali flies of Mono Lake based in part on my research from a few years ago (and others' work too). #monolake #sciencefact Really nice work KQED / KQED Science! kqed.org/science/198379…

It was an honor to be able to contribute to this wonderful story about sensory processing in D. sechellia with my postdoc @dstupski1. Thanks Suguru Takagi, @tomtom_auer, and Richard Benton for orchestrating this big effort!

My student's paper on characterizing snow using ski mounted strain sensors is out! A fun side project for me! Thanks MOMENT for the skis :) #skiscience #snow #skiing authors.elsevier.com/a/1h-OM,3mSSrc…

New preprint showing that flying flies use a previously undescribed yet highly stereotyped search behavior in still air. Fantastic work by my postdoc @dstupski1! Feedback is welcome! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #drosophila #preprint #olfaction

Looking forward to seeing as many of the talks and posters as possible in Seattle this week at #SICB2024. Here are three more to add to your schedules if a spot of fluid and mechanical modelling, or the neurophysiology of wings and antennae, takes your fancy:

I have four great trainees presenting at SICB this year -- free flight behavior using optogenetics in flies to dissect plume tracking. Check out their talks/poster! #SICB2024 (unfortunately I can't make it myself this year..)

Our first major story is online. We link stem cells to Olf. Nav circuit & behavior. Excellent work by Aisha Hamid Hannah et al. & a fantastic collaboration with Kathy, who is an outstanding scientist & person. Thanks to all the authors 1/n cell.com/current-biolog…

Mapping the neural dynamics of locomotion across the Drosophila brain: Current Biology cell.com/current-biolog…

Nice little article featuring some of @dstupski1's postdoc work from my lab, which came out last week in Current Biology. If you're at #icn2024berlin, come see my talk and David's talk on Tuesday to learn more! #neuroethology washingtonpost.com/science/2024/0…

My student Arunava Nag collected field data to show that you can in fact estimate the distance to an odor source from odor statistics over reasonably large spatial scales (30-60 meter scales). Out now in The Royal Society interface: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Having more sensory neurons sounds beneficial for perception and behavior, but is it? If so, how? Check out our new publication for some new theories. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Open #postdocposition! Come work with me on NIH BRAIN funded research to discover the functional role & neural basis of rapid turns during olfactory search. Please share! Video: youtube.com/watch?v=clV18e… Paper: cell.com/current-biolog… With Bing Wen Brunton, Michael Dickinson

Excited to share our new preprint on connectomic analysis of fly taste circuits! We used the connectome to identify neurons and brain regions involved in taste processing, compare properties of neurons that process different tastes, and more! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new Neuro Department is searching for an Assistant professor in Systems, Computational, and Cognitive Neuroscience. Apply now and come be my colleague!! Berkeley Neuroscience 🧠aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04581
