Great start of the 2025 CSHL Drosophila Neurobiology Course: Oguz Kanca and Cale Whitworth (BDSC) updated us on the powerful genetic tools and valuable resources in Drosophila! Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila


Course director alumnus Tim Mosca Tim Mosca (he/him) taught us the latest microscopy techniques and optimal Fly-croscopy! Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila


Martha Bhattacharya and Megan Corty showed us elegant and efficient approaches for using Drosophila as a model for nerve degeneration and injury! Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila


Arnaldo Carreira-Rosario explained us how a systems-level neurodevelopmental approach uses the Drosophila embryo as a model for how the nervous system of an animal becomes active! Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila


Chris Vecsey explained how Drosophila is used to dissect the mechanisms that control sleep and wakefulness. In addition, he gave valuable insights into research at a Liberal Arts institution! Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila


Andy Bellemer taught us how Drosophila is used to study molecules and neuronal circuits that detect harmful stimuli! Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila


Wei-Chung Lee presented an in-depth review of the latest achievements in Connectomics and showed us impressive EM data! Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila


Tingting Wang presented her exciting research on the mechanisms that underlie the homeostatic regulation that stabilizes the nervous system. Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila


Vil Fernandes gave an impressive and interactive lecture on her lab's analysis of the glial cell atlas and the development of glia in the visual system! Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila


Sung Soo Kim taught us the theory behind the two-photon microscope and its applications in Drosophila brain research! Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila


Beverly Piggott gave a fascinating neuronal cell biology lecture and discussed the role of ion channels in early nervous system development! Jens Rister Reis Lab Robert Carrillo Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #cshlflycourse #scicomm #drosophila
