Excited to release this new pre-print (biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…)🎉 In a complex visual environment, how do flies (like below) know what to focus on?
We uncovered neuronal pathways through which social states (like aggression🥊 and courtship) modulate visual processing. 1/

I am thrilled to start an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at @DartmouthCollege in July 2024. We will study genetic & neural basis of behavior evolution & how behavior affects evolution. Recruiting talented & enthusiastic scientists to join the lab!

Also, this is my first fruit fly paper and the project I spend most of my time during my PhD!
Excited to share our new preprint on the evolution of Drosophila courtship song, led by @Justin_T_Walsh , Dajia Ye, and Ian Junker: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Ancestral neural circuits potentiate the origin of a female sexual behavior biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_evobio
Happy to share a recent work from my lab, led by @dawnschen and Minhao Li: The origination of a novel social behavior + the function and evolution of female sexual behavior. We had so much fun working on this project with several jaw-dropping moments!

How do the peripheral and central nervous systems evolve to switch the valence of a sex pheromone, from anti-aphrodisiac to aphrodisiac, in species-specific mate recognition? Check this beautiful work led by Rory Coleman and Vanessa Ruta (honored to make a small contribution)!

Packing for #Dros23?
If you have professional clothes that are unused, or used but clean, #Dros23 is collecting donations for Broadway Youth Center @howardbrownhc an integrated health and social services organization that serves the Chicago LGBTQ+ community
If you're planning to attend @GeneticsGSA #Dros23 this week in Chicago, please consider packing any clean, professional attire you no longer wear for donation to @howardbrownhc Broadway Youth Center. genetics-gsa.org/drosophila-…

Before the 2016 election, I didn't believe that Trump could be elected, and I regret not doing everything I could to ensure it didn't happen. Here's what I'm doing to make sure this doesn't happen again:

Our new study in @ScienceMagazine , led by @shengjin_xu. We report CaRMA imaging-- a method that combines deep-brain in vivo single neuron dynamics in mice with detailed gene co-expression information in the same cells across multiple behavioral states. tinyurl.com/y68ubwls

My first, first-author paper is out today from the @JustinMCrocker
Lab at @embl with collaboration with @David_L_Stern and @richmann10 and @HHMIJanelia . Hear how we used robotics and automation to mutationally scan a Drosophila developmental enhancer!

Today's headlines: Undead neurons make headless flies walk! Nervous systems evolve by changing which and how many newly-born neurons die! Flightless flies are fly! Read all about it in our paper now out in eLife elifesciences.org/articles/5… (a thread)

How do sensory systems rapidly evolve to promote speciation? We investigated the evolution of sex pheromone systems of 99 Drosophila species.
Super excited to share my paper w/ @RongfengC @darissambaya @hdweck99 @billhansson @mknaden1!! (1/7)
