I want a mechanistic understanding of how the nervous system coordinates limb movements. To achieve this, I study adult #Drosophila.
PhD @ Harvard: EM & X-ray #connectomics of the fly's ventral nerve cord and legs to comprehensively map neurons and their synaptic connections. I run the #FANC community.
Postdoc @ EPFL: In vivo optical recordings of neural activity as flies perform a variety of different behaviors.

Hello world! #introduction #twittermigration
I am a #neuroscientist interested in how signals flow through neural circuits to generate behavior. I study #motorcontrol in adult #Drosophila where powerful tools are letting us move steadily toward a mechanistic understanding of #computation in neural circuits.
I spent my PhD doing EM and X-ray #connectomics (#FANC) and I'm now doing in vivo activity recordings for my #postdoc. After this, I hope to start my own lab.
And my Mastodon era begins!
