Thank you all for your responses. To summarize, these are free/open source alternatives for preparation of scientific illustrations: bioicons.com, scidraw.io, bioart.niaid.nih.gov, inkscape.org
Because of annoying complications with the use of images prepared on BioRender @iamscicomm for publication or presentations, our lab will be exploring open-source alternatives like bioicons.com or drawing our own images with Illustrator.
Whaaat?
Was just told by people in the lab that the standard smiley face ":)", when translated into an emoji 🙂, is condescending and sarcastic. Did you other old people know this? The culture is evolving under our feet! Btw, ":)" is apparently cool, as is 😄.
Not for the first time, all Nobel Prizes in scientific disciplines this year have been awarded to men
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”
The theoretical physics approach to neural nets was launched by @HopfieldJohn in this classic 1982 paper that introduced the "energy function" to associative memory models. pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…
BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience – the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (@FlyWireNews). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. I’ll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here 🧵
Fantastic animation from Tyler! You can explore the largest neurons in Codex: codex.flywire.ai/app/search click any cell to pull up its preview page which includes an interactive 3D view. Here’s a Codex link to an interactive 3D of 6 of those 50 giant neurons. These cells…
Since the '50 largest neurons' #connectome render with @amyneurons @FlyWireNews has made it's way around the world, I'm sharing an animated version. Including: Information flow from the ocelli, 50 largest #neurons, and a LOT of #synapses on one MASSIVE neuron. #neuroscience

JD Vance at the National Conservatism Conference: "The professors are the enemy."
The life strategies of #parasitoids are stunningly diverse, but no wasps that attack and develop inside adult flies have ever been described. Our article describes the first one. Its hosts: Drosophila melanogaster and other species of #Drosophila #Entomology #Braconidae

Last December, a video emerged on social media showing six people scattered, dead on a street in northern Gaza. We found that the Israeli military had killed them, but we also discovered who they were and why they were there. nytimes.com/video/world/mi…
Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye! The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Studying brain & behaviour has always fascinated me. Completing two years of PhD, full of fun and learning, in @melnattur's lab at @AshokaUniv feels so good. Thank you, Dr. Krishna Melnattur and all the Drosophila melanogaster in the lab!😉 (PS: that brain looks back at you!)
Why are so many inherited traits not explained by genome sequence variation? In my PhD work with @wbderry we describe a new mechanism of inheritance in animals that may account for this ‘missing heritability' 🧵nature.com/articles/s4155…
Sex or survival—what’s more important? Excited to share our @Nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict. We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Will robots and AI replace scientists? No, our goal is to create robots and ML algorithm that free scientists from labor work to focus on more impactful tasks. The recent publication on the 2nd-gen fly robot from the Schnitzer lab demonstrates our vision. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
A sincere request to @narendramodi @PMOIndia @DrJitendraSingh The recent increase in custom duty charges to 150% for R&D consumables that falls under HSN9802 code is creating a lot of panic among scientific fraternity in 🇮🇳. All major vendors like @SigmaAldrich @merckgroup 1/n
We’re thrilled to announce CellWalk for iPhone and iPad! 📱✨ Journey to the atomic level and explore the molecular machines of a bacterial cell. We’re building the future of biology education—it’s interactive and immersive. apps.apple.com/us/app/cellwal… #Apple #iPhone #iPad…
Beautiful!

I had a wonderful time at @melnattur's lab. The past 2 years have been great, I worked on some really cool projects. I learned a lot of new stuff. Do apply.
@GokulMadhav3 is leaving us soon for a PhD @RWTH . So we have another opening for a Junior Research Fellow / Project Associate in our group. The position is funded by @serbonline Deadline Aug 5. Details below. RTs appreciated! shorturl.at/KCxKq
