Ohne das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz wären illegale Maskendeals nie ans Licht gekommen. Genau dieses Recht wollen CDU, CSU und SPD jetzt faktisch abschaffen. Das dürfen wir nicht zulassen. Jetzt unterschreiben: 👇 #IFG weact.campact.de/petitions/sp...

SPD, stoppt den Frontalangriff auf die Informationsfreiheit!
Wir alle haben das Recht auf staatliche Informationen. Seit 2006 müssen Behörden auf Antrag nach dem Informationsfreiheitsgesetz (IFG) Dokumente herausgeben – seien es Verträge, interne Weisungen oder...

Just attended the JEDI Meeting @fly-jedi.bsky.social in Palmela, Portugal. Excellent event, great community, and lots of inspiring ideas 💡. #Drosophila #JEDI

There’s more to light than meets the eye in Drosophila!!! Articles in @elife.bsky.social explain how an ancient photoreceptor that senses light outside of the retina can regulate how flies respond to a range of visual cues. elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... elifesciences.org/articles/110...

Non-Visual Light Perception: Ancient photoreceptor shapes behavioural responses
Experiments on Drosophila show that an evolutionarily conserved photoreceptor that senses light outside of the retina can regulate responses to direct visual cues.

Our reviewed preprint in eLife is out now! We show that RH7, an ancient opsin in non-retinal structures, shapes how Drosophila responds to light-dark changes. Working on the revision :-). @flyneuro.bsky.social @v-kirsch.bsky.social @flyingclocks.bsky.social @nils-reinhard.bsky.social #Drosophila

Unlike other rhodopsins, fly Rh7 is expressed in many non-retinal neurons. This recent preprint shows why, and Bgee shows where 🤓 🪰 www.bgee.org/search/expre... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @pingkalai.bsky.social @v-kirsch.bsky.social

Delighted that my PhD student @v-kirsch.bsky.social received an award for her poster on RHODOPSIN 7 in the @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social section. Many thanks to the @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social for a wonderful and inspiring meeting! #DZG #Drosophila #Rhodopsin7

Our new paper is out now! We show the non-image forming role of #Rhodopsin7 in #Drosophila, expanding our understanding of #opsins beyond classical vision. This work highlights how #Rh7 contributes to extra-retinal light sensing and plays a role in behavioral light responses. @flyneuro.bsky.social

Dies ist kein Fake. Es handelt sich um ein neues Plakat, das Frontex entworfen hat, um Kindern während einer Abschiebung zu erklären, was gerade geschieht und wie es weitergeht. Die eigene Abschiebung als Abenteuergeschichte. 🤯
Plakat von Frontex. Es gibt 8 verschiedene im Comic-Style gezeichnete Bilder, auf denen zwei Kinder zu sehen sind, die den Abschiebungsprozess durchlaufen. Zuerst werden sie zum Flughafen gebracht, dann Passkontrolle, auf dem Weg ins Flugzeug, in den Sitzreihen und am Ende im Zielland nach der Landung. Dabei sehen sie die ganze Zeit ganz fröhlich und vergnügt aus.

Comic zeigt Person, die in Handschellen abgeführt wird. Text dazu: „Möglicherweise siehst Du jemanden mit Handschellen. So sind er und die anderen sicher.“

They will go after Wikipedia. They will go after libraries. They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports. They will go after archives. Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy. Thinking is the enemy.
