Congratulations @oliviagoldman.net, @leslievosshall.bsky.social, and all our amazing collaborators in the #VosshallLab and globally.
The first detailed look at how mosquitoes mate from the Vosshall lab reversed the assumption that male mosquitoes control the process, finding that a subtle female behavior dictates if mating will take place or not. #RockefellerScience #YearInReview

@annaryba.bsky.social's paper on the neural underpinnings of intraspecific behavioral variation is now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social
Highly recommend! -> Paper identifies neural substrate for variation in promiscuity among Drosophila melanogaster strains🧪

🦟 The mosquito is the most deadly animal in the world. The Mosquito Cell Atlas is an incredible new resource to help us understand more about their ability to transmit pathogens to humans.
Data is available on the UC Santa Cruz @genomebrowser.bsky.social at mosquito.cells.ucsc.edu
Great to see that our mosquito cell atlas is now out in Cell. Amazing work from @oliviagoldman.net and @nadavshai.bsky.social to organise so much data and so many interesting stories into a single paper!
🎉 Thrilled to see our #MosquitoCellAtlas featured on the cover of @cp-cell.bsky.social ! This mosaic represents 367K cells across 19 tissues, unveiling the complex biology that makes mosquitoes the world's deadliest animals. Beautiful art by @somedonkey.bsky.social meets the #Vosshalllab science! 🦟🎨
What happens in a mosquito's brain when it's infected with dengue? Almost nothing! 🦟🧠 We show DENV actively replicates in the brain, yet triggers virtually no transcriptional response. a striking case of neural tolerance ⬇️

I'm happy that I could contribute even a small part to this fantastic and monumental study! Huge shoutout to @oliviagoldman.net @nadavshai.bsky.social and @leslievosshall.bsky.social for their incredible leadership in organizing this massive project!
Our preprint is out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Peter Skovorodnikov and I are excited to present FERAL: a new video-understanding toolkit that maps raw video directly to behavior, no pose estimation required.
It works across species, from lab to field, and even in collective systems. (🧵1/n)
The world’s “most dangerous animal” just got easier to study 🦟
HHMI’s @leslievosshall.bsky.social & #VosshallLab at @rockefeller.edu have built the 1st cellular atlas of Aedes aegypti, mapping everything from legs to antennae. Available now to all researchers, & the public: bit.ly/4oO4MzB
