@Mill_lab we will of course keep our many connections to UK science!

Exciting symposium to celebrate 10th anniversary of the IGFL
– free registration and programme at https://igfl10.sciencesconf.org
@davi Thank you Davi! We hope to be able to build some new research lines and collaborations in beautiful Heidelberg! An amazing place for science.
@lmvteixeira Thank you Luis!
@rajutomer We are very excited!
@yehumoran Thank you Yehu!

How does the genome orchestrate the development of mulicellular organisms? Which mutations are causing disease?
I'm a scientist at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. To answer such questions we develop tools for #CRISPR genome engineering. Our main system is the fruit fly #Drosophila.
While we mostly focus on inactivating genes, we sometimes also 'tag' genes to make their products visible. Such as in the pic below.
@pedromartinezUBarcelona Thanks a lot Pedro! We will be in good company!
@yaksi_emre Thanks Emre! Indeed, COS is a great and very fitting place for us!
@bruvellu Thank you Bruno!
@pawelburkhardt Thanks a lot Pawel!

Once in a lifetime - how often did you publish 2 papers in the same journal back to back? I had to grow 50 to do so. Fly sarcomeres go super-resolution: nanobodies + DNA PAINT. Fantastic collaboration with the Jungmann lab in Munich and the Görlich lab in Göttingen. Congrats to @LoreauVincent @FSchueder @PierreMangeol @eunicechyChan @MPI_Biochem @mpi_nat

@graemewinter This cute Platynereis worm?
Check out the bobbit worm for real nightmare fuel:

#introduction
Hi everyone,
I am Nila. I am a neuroscientist & currently a Postdoc in Rainer Friedrich's lab at FMI. I study the circuit of the olfactory bulb in the adult zebrafish using a connectomic approach. Recently I have been a bit sidetracked by telencephalic temptations...
I am here to keep up to date and exchange with the scientific community. But I love to have my mind blown by anything nature. So, I am hoping to learn many fun facts outside of my horizons (& to see many beautiful images as well).
I am a first-gen academic which has sometimes been a struggle (mostly in my mind). Topics of open access, social mobility & justice are important to me, and I do have to learn a lot there.
Parenting 3 little humans doesn't leave much energy for hobbies but running is my lifeline.
@brembs Thank you!
@mads100tist Thank you, love the gif!
@florianjug Thanks Florian! We are happy about it, and hopefully we will enjoy the new life HD can offer!

#introduction (2).
I am a neurophysiologist interested in decision-making systems constituted of small number of neurons, whose functional/synaptic properties and individual involvement in genesis of a behavior are identified.
Hopefully, I will be able to share some science soon.

@allan_littlecar Thanks Allan! Not much on funky annelids at the moment, but happy to discuss!
