Not only the first overview of the genetics of habituation learning, but also the first scientific paper with my name on it! Do you want to learn why you can get work done despite that ticking clock in your office? Summary thread and link to our review below!

Congratulations to Michaela Fenckova who has just been awarded an EMBO installation grant for her exciting work on modelling neurodevelopmental disorders!

Every time someone says they did a GWAS for a complex trait, my eyes roll so hard you can *hear* them. But every now and again, people do serious validation! A PA-TX collab finds GPI anchor biosynthesis as a regulator of sleep in flies and fish. doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…

Fantastic that the Simons Foundation is providing a lifeline for our colleagues in the Ukraine facing unimaginable hardship!

Tangeraas et al. describe the largest series of BCKDK deficiency patients to date, including responses to dietetic treatment, and argue that this treatable neurodevelopmental disease should be considered for inclusion in newborn screening programs. bit.ly/3DyHjgE

If you want to work with us at Radboudumc and Donders Institute on understanding the genomics of self-regulation, this might interest you. We are looking for a PhD student in the context of the national GUTS project. Radboudumc wetenschap Donders Institute PLEASE RT radboudumc.nl/en/vacancies/1…

Quite overwhelmed with the messages and love I'm receiving for this! Means more than expected. Obviously recognition of everyone in my group over the last 20 years and collaborators. Forever grateful. Delighted to bring broad attention to fly neurobiology. royalsociety.org/news/2023/05/n…

All brain researchers please also support the Pledge for Science from the European Brain Council: braincouncil.eu/pledge-for-sci… Please RT

We are releasing a whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly, including ~130k annotated neurons and tens of millions of typed synapses! Explore the connectome: codex.flywire.ai Reconstruction paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Annotation paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/6

The main portal to the data is Codex. For every neuron, one can now query its connectivity, size, neurotransmitter, labels, etc. but also analyze network graphs and find pathways between neurons! CT1 neurons: codex.flywire.ai/app/cell_detai… Render by Amy Robinson Sterling 3/6

Congratulations to the rich crop of #Drosophila scientists elected to EMBO membership in 2023! Florence Besse, @BartDeplancke, Marco Milan, Eugenia Piddini, Katja Roeper #EMBO

On March 13th, @naelnadif and I are hosting the 6th Dutch Neurodevelopmental Disorders Day in Nijmegen. Topics range from genetics, mechanistic studies to clinical and therapy. Keynote speaker is @gaianovarino! We still have capacities! Register FREE  @ neurodevdisorders.org

Act now! Main message of the #DraghiReport is simple: SCIENCE, SCIENCE, INNOVATION , INNOVATION, RESEARCH, RESEARCH - sounds like the Lisbon strategy launched in 2000 to transition the European Union to a knowledge-based economy and society by 2010. We lost 14 years. Act now!

Dream job! One of the best genomics institutes in the world. …if I was only ten years younger…
