New paper from my lab in @EJNeuroscience shows PI4Ks have differential roles in synaptic function/development (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…) Majority of work done by my former MSc student Claire Richter Gorey. Funded by @NSERC_CRSNG. Collaboration with @JulieBrill5. @ScienceUWindsor

In 5 of 5 battles, the Velvet Ant survived the attack and we could see its stinger clearly deployed in every case. Everything happens pretty quickly but we actually see that the Mantis releases its grip at the precise moment when the stinger penetrates the forelimb. Nature is 🤯

And now for the most important tweet of all. This work was carried out almost entirely by @lydiaborjon an amazingly talented PhD scientist. Lydia is going on the job market searching for faculty positions and her email is lhoffst at iu dot edu. You should definitely hire her!
Yet another beautiful innovative research from an outstanding group and fantastic PI
Bravo Dan!
Preprint just dropped!🎙️We discover molecular mechanisms of the excruciatingly painful sting of the Scarlet Velvet Ant (Dasymutilla occidentalis). Title: "Multiple mechanisms of action of an extremely painful venom." 🧵 1/N biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Yet another brand new @CIHR_IRSC application submitted to the Aging committee for rejection 😭

Check out my Spotlight article in Trends in Genetics in which I highlight an exciting article from Amit Singh that appeared in PNAS earlier this year. He identifies a role for the Dve transcription factor and its human ortholog in the placement of eyes.

F... went to sleep and still woke up....to another day of deception. Added to the death of my father and the sickness of my isolated mother, ran out of tears...

writing again a new @CIHR_IRSC application to get it rejected as it has been for every single application since 2008. It's a corrupted lottery I am never allowed to win or even get a chance (only one app discussed 10yrs ago).

Ashamed by decision/rev3 comments on a paper I just reviewed. Rev 3 did not read the paper...neither the editor who both are surprised authors used 90 days old flies at 29C when it is repeatedly indicated that flies are kept at 18C before a 24h 29C induction.

Hey @kapahi_pankaj I have seen that you were the senior editor, how does one download the PDF version of the recent Demontis @eLife paper?

Loss of function of phosphatidylserine synthase causes muscle atrophy in Drosophila

Yet another lie from @CIHR_IRSC reviewer:
"in all datasets provided (copied from HMG publication?), only females are examined"
Figure from HMG provided to reviewer:

844
and another @CIHR_IRSC reviewer just ignore the same figure:
"Does hsp70 affect the striated aggregation phenotype in the Mef2 Q72 model?"
Left panel of part B shows exactly what this reviewer lists as weakness.
The aging committee is rotten!

A rock band is performing and the singer sees a kid with a banner asking to play guitar with them. The singer asks him:
- Do you really know how to play guitar?
- Yeah!
- What's your favorite band?
- Guns N' Roses
What happens next is incredible.

Sharing good news from our lab at @DalhousieU Our mechanistic model of how filamin protects muscles from damage in #Drosophila is finally out @PLOSGenetics. @tiara_pie journals.plos.org/plosgeneti…
