Currently reading Brave Genomes by Silvia Bulgherisi — a wonderful book on recent advances in genomics, environmental change, and the influence of microbes. Highly recommend!

Homogamy=career boost.
Our study explores the complex ties between love, fame, and creativity in music. Singers with singer romantic partners achieve earlier & more sustained success—especially women. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Why do women benefit more? Female singers tend to partner with older, more experienced male singers who can offer career resources & mentorship.
But having multiple romantic partners also correlates with success in the industry. Could narcissism drives creative ambition?
Bizarre that our 2020 #Drosophila #AMP review already feels out of date.
Thanks to #AnnualReviews to cover the many updates in the field and present a much more complete picture of the diversity, mechanisms, topics, of fly immunity re: host defence peptides.

Model organisms, in particular non-mammalian model organisms, such as yeast, Caenorhabditis elegans, #Drosophila and zebrafish, have long stood at the centre of biological discovery www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Comment on our @Reproducibility project in @Drosophila immunity. It is a normal that findings—however exciting and important at the time—may later prove to be more complex than initially believed. Re-evaluations is essential to the self-correcting nature of science. www.science.org/content/arti...
As someone who ended up using non-model systems after doing his PhD with Drosophila, you don't realise just how amazing FlyBase or WormBase are until you try to genetics without them.

I read the preprint. It's very beautiful work from Hadi Boukhatmi's group. They test how if at all #Drosophila can repair their #muscles.
