to all my old and new friends, it was a joy meeting all of you and hearing about such great science at #dros18! safe travels back to your homes and an enormous thanks to everyone at @GeneticsGSA for such a great meeting! come back and see philly any time!
what a pleasure it was to finally meet @SoniaHall today! thanks for all you to make our genetics and our drosophila communities so strong! #dros18
what a way to start closing out #dros18. a rousing last poster session, with a packed row of neuro fly posters!
what a great time at the #dros18 tweet-up. an absolute pleasure and honor to see old friends and meet new ones!
rounding it out is ela serpe talking about my second favorite synapse, the nmj, and how the neato neto affects development! #dros18
"nothing is as it seems on the fourth chromosome." ~ stuart neufeld at #dros18. amen, man. a-fucking-men.
basigin knockdown results in breaks in the glial actin cytoskeleton. so does loss of it affect tension? #dros18
also, this is the first time i've ever heard glia likened to spanx. #Dros18
vanessa auld gives such amazing talks. she's talking about basigin in perineurial glia and ensheathing! #dros18
pelin volkan talking about my favorite system and my favorite question: synaptic connectivity! #dros18
alexandra neuhaus-follini discusses how stochastic expression of spineless regulates photoreceptor cell identity. #Dros18
ooh. neurotransmitter identity of visual neurons is done via the temporal the series AND notch identity. #Dros18
claude desplan's lab has drop seq'd the eye. it's a beautiful mess! #dros18
it's my favorite session! neural development! get ready to geek out #dros18!!
TIL at #DROS18 : standing in line at Starbucks = 20 mins. Ordering your drink on the Starbucks app for pickup = 2 mins. Engaging in fly conversation while on line = priceless @GeneticsGSA
very nice neurodegeneration session at #dros18 this morning! maybe i'm not totally nuts for getting into this field. :-)
The Models of Human Disease/Neurodegeneration talks are 🔥🔥🔥 at #DROS18 @GeneticsGSA ! So much progress has been made in the ALS field using Drosophila!
to the (presumably) #dros18 attendees on the roof deck at iCandy who just shouted, "FRUIT FLIES! WOOO!" ... i hear you. i acknowledge you. and i accept you.
what a day! but someone remind me not to do a seminar visit and attend a massive meeting in the same day. i am exhausted! but still. it was a great day at #dros18 and at st. joes.
very cool stuff from @smauthner and @Hoosierflyman about k channels in nociception at #dros18. negative regulation!
also ran into a whole bunch of tweeps so far! i'm terribly excited to meet all of you. :-) #dros18
what a great meeting so far! strong work in the poster session and sitting down to the neural circuits talks. looking forward to great stuff #dros18 !
what a great kick-off to #dros18! a well-attended ballroom, brilliant work being done, and already a great feeling of camaraderie amongst drosophilists. looking forward to the rest!
T minus 6 hours till #Secombelab leaves for #DROS18 ! Excited to hang with old and new fly friends!
Excited for flies and cheesesteaks this week at #DROS18!
esteemed #dros18 colleagues and attendees: conferences can be a lot. for anyone! i live four blocks from the meeting. if anyone needs a respite in the middle of the city, you're always welcome to let me know. we have snacks! and scotch!
folks attending #dros18 with @GeneticsGSA this week! welcome to philly! if you're looking for a great fly neuro postdoc at the forefront of synapse biology, let me know! DM me or email and we can meet up and discuss!
(please help out with an RT)
Excited for #Dros18 this week! If you are curious about how a transcriptional regulator can impact neuronal structure and function in a Drosophila model of intellectual disability, stop by poster 596!
