First episode of my podcast is out! I spoke with Professor James Marshall
at University of Sheffield about his research on modelling the #brain of #bees and implications for #ai. Take a listen! #neuroscience #sciencecommunication

Check out this summary of the split-GAL4 method development over the past 10 years. Good resource. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.01.09.574419v1

After plenty of nurturing, my #preprint baby has now matured into a fully formed publication in Aging. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204565 This #Drosophila study on #lactate #brainmetabolism, #Aging and #Memory is my first paper including data from my PhD thesis. I’ve got a couple more papers up my sleeve before I graduate this summer. Keeping my eyes out for #postdoc positions studying aging and behaviour in flies.

Since there have been published methods describing how to do it successfully with flies, has anyone adopted cryopreservation for any of their lab stocks? Why or why not? e.g. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-22694-z I am waiting for the day frozen fly stocks become as easily maintained as C. elegans are.
