A great disturbance in the Force… ⚡️
The next JEDI meeting is landing in Portugal this June. Don't let this opportunity drift away into a galaxy far, far away, clear your schedules for June 1st–3rd. 🇵🇹
Registration link coming soon. Prepare your mind! 🧠✨
Congrats to all the grant recipients!
Extra happy for Burak and Dennis from my lab.
And in this context: we’re hiring—open postdoc positions in the lab. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested.

Tune in to the GASTRONAUTS Bite Size Summit tomorrow to hear @gili-ezranevo.bsky.social talk about dietary amino acids, appetite and the gut microbiome of flies!

Our paper on the counterintuitive effects of activating dopamine "reward" neurons is out now!
Props to all the trainees, especially Fio Lozada-Perdomo and Yuzhen Chen who did most of the work. Yuzhen is applying for PhD programs now and you'd be lucky to get her!

#Giessen
Es gibt Updates zu #Gießen: Das Verwaltungsgericht hat zwei "Verlegungen" von Versammlungen kassiert, diese dürfen nun doch in der Nähe des Treffens der AfD-Jugend stattfinden. Hier der aktuelle Stand zu den laufenden Verfahren: netzpolitik.org/2025/demover...
Beyond delighted to finally share the main results of my years as a postdoc in the Lowell lab. This was a labour of love, with contributions from many fantastic colleagues, particularly my coauthor @lowensteined.bsky.social
Excited to share the latest work from the lab:
rdcu.be/eRWuD
Great team effort, led by @enriberti.bsky.social first at @unil.bsky.social and now @unifr.bsky.social; with fantastic collaborators @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social and @dahaniel.muench.bio.
My main postdoc work is now out :) In the group of @tomtom-auer.bsky.social with Justine Pascual, @bruzz-1.bsky.social , Noemi Sgammeglia , with crucial collaboration with @dahaniel.muench.bio and @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social

Ein Exemplar der Fruchtfliege Drosophila sechellia sitzt auf einer Noni-Frucht und frisst
Süßes oder Saures? Bei #Fruchtfliegen ist die #Evolution von Ernährungsvorlieben im #Gehirn verwurzelt und nicht in den peripheren Geschmackssensoren – Studie mit Beteiligung der #JLUGiessen in @nature.com veröffentlicht www.uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns...
New work from the lab 🧠🪰🎉
Using pan neuronal volumetric brain imaging in three Drosophila species, we show that niche adaptations arise from central sensory processing, not peripheral tuning.
Great collab led by @enriberti.bsky.social @tomtom-auer.bsky.social 🤝
Out now in @nature.com

To survive in new environments, animals must adapt how they eat. @nature.com study with researchers from CF shows that fruit fly diet evolution isn’t just about taste receptors, it’s driven by brain processing of taste 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Preparations for the next JEDI meeting are underway! The upcoming Junior European #Drosophila Investigator / #NewPI meeting is planned for Portugal in June. Final dates and additional details will be announced soon - stay tuned for updates!
New paper with @gili-ezranevo.bsky.social & Silvia Henriques from @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social's lab out in @currentbiology.bsky.social. Appetite, driven by amino acid need 🥚🍖 reshapes olfactory receptor expression so flies 🪰 seek bacteria 🦠 and fermented cues 🥫 to restore nutritional balance ⚖️.
Excited to share our new #biorxivpreprint:
“Sexual dimorphism in the complete connectome of the Drosophila male central nervous system” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
We describe the #connectomics reconstruction and analysis of an entire adult #maleCNS #drosophila central nervous system. 1/10

Excited to share our new #biorxivpreprint
We discovered that the fruit fly #drosophila erecta requires food odor to mate and arousal is further enhanced by social group motion.

Dear JEDIs,
as we are self-organizing using the #EDRC as a nucleator we decided it is time for a JEDI database to boost our network! If you identify as a JEDI, please contact us here or send a mail to katja.rust@uni-marburg.de to be added to our database.

I rarely dive into circuit-mapping papers, but this blockbuster from @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social lab is a doozy! Check it out.

Amazing opportunity, join the Manzini Lab and become part of the Institute of Animal Physiology in Giessen!
Preprint Alert! Walking mostly feels natural and easy to us - but the neuronal control of walking is actually incredibly complex. We leveraged the fruit fly as a genetically tractable animal model with a compact nervous system to ask how the brain controls walking direction: tinyurl.com/flywalk. 🧵..
We're hiring! Two exciting opportunities in our Lab @unibirmingham.bsky.social
Come work with us on decision-making and neural circuits in Drosophila. Please share!
Senior Research Technician + Postdoctoral Research Fellow
