Joined June 2015
Pleased to have had a hand in shaping the new edition of Comprehensive Molecular #Insect Science. The insects provided the complexity; the chapter contributors made sense of it https://t.co/TarhGwxm2S

"Our participant, superwoman and co-senior author @chrastil underwent 26 multimodal MRI scans and venipuncture beginning 3 weeks pre-conception through two years postpartum. The data are simply...beautiful."
5 years ago, on the heels of 28andMe, our team designed a new precision imaging experiment: scanning an individual’s brain throughout her entire pregnancy. We are excited to share that these findings are out today in @NatureNeuro!

New paper out @Nature - why are males more vulnerable to severe infections (ex acute #COVID), while females suffer more from autoimmunity (SLE, MS etc and also #LongCovid)? sex chromosomes or hormones? Here we studied adaptation of human immune systems to gender-affirming

"Distinct but interconnected neural circuits process each step of food intake, from sensory detection of food to feeding initiation and sustained ingestion". Beautiful work!
My PhD paper is out! We imaged gut neuron activity in living, eating flies (first time in history!), and found a Gut-Brain-Gut neural circuit loop that allows fruit flies to adjust their ingestion bouts based on the sucrose concentration of the food! (1/n
