Excited to share our new manuscript on a novel #neuropeptide family that regulates #feeding across #evolution. Kudos to #Pat_TFrancisco for tackling this challenging project and coming up with the name #marmite. #homeostasis https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.12.520095v3 Still figuring this space out. In the meantime if you want to check out the thread on the competing platform (links to the competition are allowed here?). https://twitter.com/RibeiroCarlitos/status/1605147211918196736 #drosophila

The Kyoto Stock Centre will discard 2,285 #Drosophila strains that have not been ordered for a long time: https://kyotofly.kit.jp/stocks/documents/GSdiscardFY2022.html. You can order these lines until 19 Jan noon (Japan time). To request keeping particular strains, use this form: https://kyotofly.kit.jp/cgi-bin/stocks/webmail_usr.cgi

Do you know a developmental or stem biology post-doc looking to apply for their first independent academic position in 2023?

Then let them know about @Dev_journal Pathway to Independence Programme:

Coffee drinkers! Listen! Starbucks workers nationwide are starting a 3-day strike today (Friday 12/16) as part of their effort to unionize.

How can you help? Don't cross the picket line. Get your coffee elsewhere. (Preferably at independent coffee shops. Long live small biz).

And spread the word! Make this message viral. Let's hold billionaire corps accountable because worker's rights are human rights. Let's go.

Dear drosophila friends, we use a JECONS perimatic premier to automatically dispense the fly food into the tubes. Problem: I cannot find an equivalent machine to replace this one at the end of its life. Are any of you using an equivalent machine still on the market? #drosophila
