sleep

<p>We have an exciting collaborative <a href="/tags/phd/" rel="tag">#PhD</a> project for 2025 investigating the interacting relationship among <a href="/tags/seasonality/" rel="tag">#seasonality</a>, <a href="/tags/microbiota/" rel="tag">#microbiota</a> and <a href="/tags/sleep/" rel="tag">#sleep</a> the prospective student will work with Leicester Neurogenetic group <span class="h-card"><a href="https://biologists.social/@NeurogeneticsLeicester" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>NeurogeneticsLeicester</span></a></span> and <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fediscience.org/@MarkHanson" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>MarkHanson</span></a></span> </p><p>please boost and contact me directly for more details (applicant from around the world!)</p><p>project description can be found in </p><p><a href="https://www.kofanchenlab.net/drosophila-species" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.kofanchenlab.net/drosophila-species"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.kofanchenlab.net/drosophil</span><span class="invisible">a-species</span></a></p><p>or </p><p><a href="https://le.ac.uk/study/research-degrees/funded-opportunities/bbsrc-mibtp" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="le.ac.uk/study/research-degrees/funded-opportunities/bbsrc-mibtp"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">le.ac.uk/study/research-degree</span><span class="invisible">s/funded-opportunities/bbsrc-mibtp</span></a></p>

<p>Hello biologists.social!<br>I just moved here, I am working on <a href="/tags/sleep/" rel="tag">#sleep</a> and <a href="/tags/circadian/" rel="tag">#circadian</a> rhythm using <a href="/tags/drosophila/" rel="tag">#Drosophila</a>, hope to continue engaging with the drosophila researchers and wider community here!</p>

<p>&quot;...the first rebellious act that a man can perform (is) refusing to sleep. That&#x27;s the real <a href="/tags/rebellion/" rel="tag">#rebellion</a> against <a href="/tags/life/" rel="tag">#life</a> and the generative process. That&#x27;s the real <a href="/tags/human/" rel="tag">#human</a> idea: I refuse to sleep. I&#x27;m going to protest the idea of <a href="/tags/sleep/" rel="tag">#sleep</a> by turning night into day. I&#x27;m going to revel and drink and womanize all night. In this way, I show <a href="/tags/time/" rel="tag">#time</a>, <a href="/tags/death/" rel="tag">#death</a>, the natural process of destruction, decay, and regeneration - I show it all that with my mind, my will, I, <a href="/tags/man/" rel="tag">#man</a>, triumph.&quot;<br><a href="/tags/leonardcohen/" rel="tag">#LeonardCohen</a> on <a href="/tags/night/" rel="tag">#night</a> owls</p>

<p>I am glad to say that the first manuscript from the lab is now available on BioRxiv<br><a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.30.685496v1" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.30.685496v1"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.biorxiv.org/content/10.110</span><span class="invisible">1/2025.10.30.685496v1</span></a><br>We set out to answer a simple question:<br>If the fruit fly <a href="/tags/drosophila/" rel="tag">#Drosophila</a> cannot see clearly, how would they <a href="/tags/sleep/" rel="tag">#sleep</a> ?<br>1/8</p>
