Took the stage at the XI Portuguese Drosophila Research Meeting to discuss science, flies, and the alarming number of hours I spend counting eggs!
Grateful for the discussions and the community!

Our latest... Congrats to Seb Sorge, Victor Girard & coauthors for devising HolFast, a chemically defined (holidic) diet for #Drosophila development that performs almost as well as a yeast diet. If you study developmental #nutrition or #metabolism please try it out... www.cell.com/developmenta...

Delighted to share our latest paper describing a method to read the levels of hundreds of metabolites or drugs in parallel using DNA sequencing. This method, which we call ‘smol-seq’ (Small MOLecule sequencing), harnesses the power of DNA sequencing for metabolite detection:
rdcu.be/d8xLv (1/6)
rdcu.be/d8xLv (1/6)
Quantifying metabolites using structure-switching aptamers coupled to DNA sequencing
Nature Biotechnology - Metabolites can be quantified using a combination of aptamers and DNA barcodes.
