Fantastic double feature seminar today by @sabinenoebel.bsky.social on tradition, culture and mate copying in #drosophila and a superb theory study of the same by @srishtipatil.bsky.social ! It’s been a pleasure hosting you both here @cctb-wue.bsky.social @uni-wuerzburg.de
Tomorrow I will give a joint talk with @srishtipatil.bsky.social at the @uni-wuerzburg.de to present our joint work with @gokhalecs.bsky.social just published in @pnas.org
Dear 🪰folks, for a project I am looking for D. buzzati, D. gaucha, D. recens and Z. sepsoides. Please get in touch if you have them in your lab and willing to share.
Looking forward to an amazing conference @cultconf.bsky.social
Thrilled to share our new paper with the brilliant @srishtipatil.bsky.social & @sabinenoebel.bsky.social ! 🎉
