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…

🐣 July's most-read Developmental Biology paper shows how early life eating shapes the development of the sleep/wake cycle in fruit flies: elifesciences.org/articles/9… Have a paper people should see? See what our Editors look for: elifesciences.org/about/aims…
