We're impressed. Very impressed! Congrats to grad student Maria Ahmad (Maria Ahmed) in UM_MNI Affiliate Lab (Josie Clowney) for receiving a national award for fruit fly research. record.umich.edu/articles/grad-… 🪰🧠〽️

YES!!

Our first big story linking lineages to CX circuit development is out! Led by Aisha Hamid, together with the wonderful Kathy/lab, we define a developmental program that establishes the olf. navigation circuitry & behavior. Congrats all, & thanks to all who made this happen!

Now published in Current Biology , which in addition to its wonderful content, has my undying gratitude for the professionalism and speed of the review process. authors.elsevier.com/a/1hHuB3QW8S2Q…

Sick!

Congratulations to all the fellows and especially Emily Heckman! May she learn what the bees can learn to see and see to learn. Michigan Neuroscience Institute (MNI) 〽️🧠 MCDB Michigan U-M College of LSA

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…

Here are some highlights from the recent Dev> Neuro symposium: Thanks to all these wonderful people who made this event happen at the UNM. Kathy Josie Clowney David Schoppik for co-organizing - Thanks to The Company of Biologists U.S. National Science Foundation Sloan Foundation news.unm.edu/news/student-r…

🚨#tweeprint🚨 My PhD work w/ David Cox is out! We do 2p-imaging in awake rats tinyurl.com/43rht4c7 🧠 🐶or🧁? At the retina, lighting/distance/etc. can make a muffin look more like a dog than 2 views of the same muffin. But our brains easily sort this out. How? 🧵1/

Super excited that our first manuscript is on #bioRxiv – a #cryoEM study of an insect fructose receptor that sheds light on sugar recognition and chemical tuning. Phenomenal work by the lead author João Victor Gomes – the first graduate student to join the lab! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Very cool paper out by Ada Eban-Rothschild Michigan Neuroscience Institute (MNI) 〽️🧠 nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Wow, neat write-up

Why is lab tape so expensive now and is there some secret affordable source???

Are you interested in using developmental biology approaches to understand circuit structure, function, and behavior? Are you are a systems neuroscientist who is "development curious?" Please apply!

For context, #a2schools absenteeism has more than tripled since before the pandemic due to many of the factors The New York Times reports. It is now higher than the national average. Lookup AAPS attendance in the NYT article here: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
