Starting a new trend on Twitter. "What techniques have you tweaked in your lab which have made your fly life easier?" Examples: a better way to clone, a new vector, a faster way to make media? Please reply to this thread so people can catch you during the meeting 2 ask details

Why do we sleep? Dr. Michael Rosbash @BrandeisU, shares with us the extensive work done on circadian rhythm. We now know that clock neurons are phenotypically and molecularly diverse! How time flies, when you're part of an amazing conference like #apdrc5! @IISERPune #drosophila

Dr. Anuradha Ratnaparkhi's work highlights the role of Mon1 in octopaminergic neurons, regulating oogenesis. Insulin signaling is also critical for this process. @ari_pune #apdrc5 @IISERPune

Drosophila to the rescue, to better understand and tackle obesity! Muscle-oenocyte Pvf1 signaling is required to protect against obesity: Arpan Ghosh, @PerrimonLab. #apdrc5

Thank you, Dr. Sudip Mandal for showing us mesmerizing videos of the Drosophila heart! Great work shedding more light on the gut microbiome- pericardial cell- fat body axis. #apdrc5

Eisuke Imura tells us how the corazonin/PTTH axis affects pupal size by regulating ecdysosteroid production. #apdrc5

Dr. Utpal Banerjee focuses on the intermediate zone (IZ) in the Drosophila lymph gland. This unique region exhibits differential signaling ability, perhaps hinting at its function. #apdrc5

Thank you, Dr. Ginés Morata for a wonderful talk on cell competition! This phenomenon, dependent on JNK activity, eliminates unfit/tumor cells to maintain tissue health. But this can also be detrimental at times, causing tumor proliferation. #apdrc5 #drosophila
