Drosophila experience two hunger states, one driven by need and the other by pleasure, which arise from unique neural substrates. elifesciences.org/articles/84537…

Despite the evolutionary distance, Drosophila is great at discovering innate immune signaling regulators relevant to the treatment of psoriasis. An important study by Dr Neal Silverman, plus innovative use of click chemistry to track peptides.

The Weintraub Graduate Student Award is seeking nominations for 2023! The award recognizes the outstanding achievements of grad students in biology and was established to honor the bold, creative, pioneering spirit embodied by Dr. Hal Weintraub. fredhutch.org/en/research/di…

Last year, a paper came out in eLife - the journal claiming that a simple dietary supplement (amino acids and sugars) induced limb regeneration in jellyfish, flies, and mice. This seemed incredible. In this preprint, we set out to replicate their fly experiments (🧵)

Please apply and join this amazing group of scientists Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center ! I'm also happy to answer questions about Hutch Basic Sciences anytime!

Just a few days left to apply for our faculty position @FredHutch! bit.ly/join-hutch
If you’re hesitating (just do it) but also reach out to me or my brilliant jr PI colleagues with questions. The search committee considers pre-prints! #WomenInSTEM #FacultyJobs #SquadGoals

Here's one of a number of positions available in our lab: nature.com/naturecareers/… Get in touch if you're interested in solving new mysteries about drug resistance, tumor dormancy, or anything else!

Usually yes, but not if a manuscript passed the eLife - the journal editorial gatekeeper come Jan 2023.
