Excited to share our new research in @cp-iscience.bsky.social! We reveal that tortoise head scales are sculpted through two distinct developmental processes - chemical signalling and mechanical folding 🐢🔬🧪 @lanevol.bsky.social @genevunige.bsky.social www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

SUSTAINABILITY & #DROSOPHILA - If you keep flies & have tried to re-use containers but then given up on it, please could you let us know & tell us the reasons? We urgently need statements for a publication about sustainability in fly labs. Please, contact [email protected]

New paper out in @pnas.org We followed cells migrating along signalling gradients in 3D, and found they collectively behave as a living droplet - a self-propelling fluid that grows. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

i am here to share what just happened. I just asked a fly colleague if they could share some reagents, and literally in 9 MINUTES they wrote back and said of course, we'll send everything and more. this is reason #834 why the fly community is the best. THE BEST!!! 🪰💪

How does the adoption of preprinting differ between European countries? Preprint adoption is significantly higher in Western and Northern European countries than in their Southern and Eastern European neighbors. Switzerland has the highest preprint adoption in Europe.

There's a lot to like in here. We've been involved in providing data analysis / AI training for life scientists for quite some time, but there's a lack of incentives for them to continue with ongoing training beyond stand-alone workshops.
