Newest preprint & we think it's a big one! Young animals sleep a ton, but not with a daily pattern. What controls emergence of circadian sleep🌘? In flies we figured out WHEN and HOW. But WHY?? Sleep rhythms enable ability to make enduring memories🤯🤯 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Sleep is complex, & so was this study. Congrats to Adil @SleepSeq for finishing this project to link neural stem cells to sleep behavior. This was only possible with sleep experts @Budha, Jenny, @KayserLab & $$$ from multiple sources. Congrats all! doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2024.0…

Check out our latest @eLife! We discover how changes to energetic demand across development govern the emergence of daily sleep patterns. Congrats to departing postdoc Amy Poe who led the work, heading to start her own lab @UArkansas in 2 weeks!!! elifesciences.org/articles/9…
