I donated my PhD present to @FlyBaseDotOrg http://flybase.org/ , which had a major funding cut. THE genes & genomes & stocks database for #Drosophila research! Scientists, could you do your work

Last week we discussed papers exploring the effect of #nutrients on human physiology, #brain, and behavior #apaperaday #covid19 #ScienceTwitter #ScienceFromHome #Read #AcademicTwitter This week I will highlight some #Drosophila and

Happy 40th anniversary to the #Drosophila hedgehog gene! OTD 40 years ago, Nusslein-Volhard and Wieschaus published an article that among other things, reported identification of a mutation in a gene

UPDATE! I dissected Ken. But I also made a horrible mistake and didn't get a picture (phone battery died, sample dried out while I tried to get charged etc etc).

Today I would like to highlight "fruitless Splicing Specifies Male #Courtship #Behavior in #Drosophila" https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(05)00407-1?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS0092867405
