New #FlyBook chapter!
Drosophila postembryonic nervous system development: a model for the endocrine control of development academic.oup.com/genetics/ar…
We will be at NeuroFly-2022 with a talk about all the things you can do on VFB - "Virtual Fly Brain - A hub for Drosophila Melanogaster Neural Anatomy, Imaging Data & Connectomics" (T6) and a poster on making your data FAIR and sharable with VFB (P158).

Applications are now open for Structure and Function of the Insect Central Complex, the sixth in a series of Janelia-hosted meetings on this highly conserved insect brain region. 🧠
📅 Application deadline: July 7

Thank you @BBSRC for funding our work on
#decision-making in #Drosophila
*PDRA and tech posts coming soon*.
Pls, RT and reach out if you might know of someone interested.
I will be attending #FENS (Paris) and #ICN (Lisbon) in July. Pls, get in touch if you want to chat.

First Pool Lab pre-print: bit.ly/3yoewcy. We resolve a major pain with 3’ single-cell RNA-sequencing (10x Genomics etc.) – missing gene expression data from thousands of genes. This stems from suboptimal reference transcriptomes and can easily be recovered. T below: 1/12

Come join us @MRC_LMB, Cambridge, the birthplace of #connectomics! New group leader position (TT/T) with long-term core funding for staff, students and equipment. Interest in development/application of synaptic resolution imaging (hardware/software) encouraged. Pls RT (or DM)!

What are the guidelines for describing new cell types?
Surprisingly, there were not any general guidelines until last week, when our pre-print got out:

Would you like to get your image data onto VFB? We are trialing a new data upload system in collaboration with @wellcometrust #fairware. We're looking for beta-testers and are especially interested in novel light-level data, e.g. new split combos. /1
We have had a major network disruption so it will take us a few hours to restore all our services. sorry for the inconvenience.

Excited to share our latest work - we use pan-neuronal 2 photon imaging to dissect how the #brain integrates multiple internal states to guide #food #choice! Fantastic work by @dahaniel who took on this challenging project almost solo! #drosophila biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/21

A number of our users have custom installations of OLS, OxO and Zooma. @NicoMatentzoglu has created a page where you can you tell us about your custom EBI Ontology Tools installation and your use case: github.com/EBISPOT/ontotools…

Thank you for the highlight! Also please check out the fantastic @elife Insight article by @stanley_heinze, which exquisitely contextualizes our work, led by first and corresponding author Ben Hardcastle. elifesciences.org/articles/6…

It's not too late to join our 'Exploring the connectome' workshop @neurofly2020 with @uni_matrix @martamcosta2 @robbiecourt1977 @gsxej. We still have room for a few more. Sign up here: forms.gle/66dqkVt2ES4kjnpg9. You'll need to be registered for neurofly2020.com to attend.
Hello VFB users - we would like to ask a favour. It would be really helpful to us if you could fill out our user survey: surveymonkey.co.uk/r/5HDZZRR. It won't take long. It will be really helpful to us and you get to guide our future development and suggest new features.
We still have a few slots left for our 'Exploring the connectome' workshop at Neurofly forms.gle/66dqkVt2ES4kjnpg9. You'll need to be registered for neurofly2020.com/ to attend. Early Bird registration closes on April 12th.
