Congratulations!!

Seasonal cycles select for self-sustained circadian oscillators Circadian clocks are phylogenetically widespread timekeeping mechanisms that provide a fitness-enhancing ability to anticipate time-of-day changes in …

Our new paper is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social where we address the question of why self-sustenance, a defining feature of circadian clocks might have been selected, when environments on Earth are rarely constant! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #circadian #cyanobacteria #evolution

I’ll be co-chairing a session on Neural Circuits and Behavior at #Dros26! 🪰

Fly neuro friends, please submit abstracts! Our session will be 🔥

Deadline Nov 13

Congratulations!! 🎉

Excited to share my new #preprint with @erikherzog.bsky.social! By mapping the functional #connectome of the #SCN using 3000+ hours of recordings from 9000+ cells in 17 mice, we explored how mammalian clock neurons synchronize to produce #circadian rhythms. (1/n)

International students and postdocs are deprived of opportunities to apply to several fellowships because of US citizenship or permanent residency requirements. Kudos and gratitude to organizations like the American Heart Association that recognize talent regardless of citizenship.

Calling #Drosophila #grad students #postdoc and #pretenure #faculty to participate in FlyCROSS and be matched by a #mentor of your preferences to gain guidance to your unique needs !
