Intro: I'm a #Biology professor researching the #Neurogenetics of #learning and #memory in #Drosophila. I study how operant or motor memories are formed and how other forms of learning regulate these processes. As spontaneous behavior is required for operant learning, I also study how #spontaneity arises in nervous systems.

Disclaimer: Since I got tenure in 2012, my non-tenured co-authors decide where our manuscripts are submitted.

Thinking about the NYT (and other) pieces about the collapse of both time and world view in pandemic, and pieces in Atlantic (and elsewhere) about the collapse of time and post #ww2 worldview in the accumulating/ staggering local and global crises. These are such deeply related phenomena. Braudel had some things very right in terms of how we think about human history and what matters and when. #history #DeepTime #Braudel #histodons

Fasted bones grow fast later: chondroprogenitors in the growth plate of murine long bones adapt to dietary restriction, leading to catch-up growth during refeeding. 🦴

Members of the #RoselloDiez Lab #MonashUni highlight a #preprint from Motomi Iwamoto-Enomoto and team #UofMaryland.

Another excellent addition to the preList celebrating #preLights5thBirthday.

According to a recent study, SARS-CoV-2 variants Alpha, Delta, and Gamma continue to infect white-tailed deer, despite no longer circulating in humans. Based on this discovery, researchers believe that white-tailed deer may serve as a reservoir of variant SARS-CoV-2 strains.
