In the 'Behavior' section of the CSHL Drosophila Neurobiology course, our students studied grooming (Andy Seeds/Steffi Hampel), visual navigation (Michael Reiser), courtship (Christa Baker), and aggression (Sarah Certel)!

Hard to believe it’s been 17 years since my first visit to CSHL! I’m super excited to be back to lecture the Drosophila Neurobiology course. The students, TAs, and course directors (@WanglabTingting, @mariadelapax, and @JensRister) are amazing!

In the 'Development' section of the CSHL Drosophila course, our students learned to stage, stain, and dissect tiny fly embryos, larvae, pupae, and adults. Khanh and Heena explained how to handle fragile pupal brain and eye tissue!

Nara Muraro @MuraroNara ya está haciendo de las suyas, enseñando todo lo que sabe sobre electrofisiología en pequeñas neuronas de Drosophila 🪰 en el curso 'Neurobiología de Drosophila: Genes, circuitos y comportamiento', de Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory @CSHLflycourse 🎊👏
Nara Muraro @MuraroNara taught us how to perform patch-clamp recordings on tiny Drosophila neurons to gain insights into their electrical activity!

Another year, another patching lab at @CSHLflycourse. Had so much fun getting everybody to patch, together with the “Patching queen 👑” @MuraroNara. Thanks all the students for the hard work and Nara and course instructors @NufoTheFlyGuy @JensRister @reis_lab for the invitation!
