These dazzling neurons belong to a fruit fly. Confocal microscopy images of them were taken & combined by researchers at our Janelia Research Campus like pieces of a puzzle to build a rough map of the ventral nerve cord, which coordinates walking, flying, & reflex.

In this video you can see a visual map of some of the neurons within a fruit fly’s ventral nerve cord (VNC), like that of a human’s spinal cord. Neurons progressively stack on top of each other and at the end of the video, you can see a rough neuronal map of the VNC.

Before the lab bench, there was the baseball diamond. #GilliamFellow @jpflores.rbind.io brings the resilience he learned as a former D3 shortstop to his research on how DNA's orientation helps cells adapt to stress. Psst: Applications for this year's Gilliam competition open 9/1! bit.ly/Gilliam26 🧪

What looks like a kaleidoscope is actually living cells dividing in real time. 🌈 These intestinal epithelial cells were grown from an organoid, and the colors? Not just beautiful — they're depth-coded: blues and purples are closer, while yellows are farther away. 📸: Matthew Tyska, @vanderbilt.edu

This mesmerizing timelapse captures the nonstop motion inside an animal cell. Red/orange streaks are the growing ends of microtubules, tiny “highways” that can rapidly assemble and disassemble to move proteins & other molecules within the cell. 📸: Andy Moore, HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus

Get lost in the unexpected beauty of a developing zebrafish eye. These incredible 3D images are possible thanks to #HHMIInvestigator & Janelia Sr. Fellow Eric Betzig, who developed a microscopy technique combining two imaging approaches — including one used by astronomers.

What if injectable “mini livers” could help sustain people w/liver failure? New research from #HHMIInvestigator Sangeeta Bhatia’s lab @mit.edu showed success in an animal model — pointing to potential new therapies for 1000s of people who may not receive or be eligible for transplants bit.ly/3NGwMIp

Mapping how neurons connect across the brain is one of neuroscience’s biggest challenges. MouseLight (a Janelia Research Campus project) is building a dataset of fully traced neurons — available to researchers everywhere, & helping to reveal how brain circuits work & what goes wrong in disease.

"Watching my students who didn’t really know if they wanted to do research turn around & fall in love with research … that’s been the most meaningful." — HHMI Postdoc Scientist Brea Manuel, '25 program mentor. 🧪 Rising junior or senior? *Applications close 11:59pm EST Dec. 22* ⏰❗bit.ly/CechFellows

No rabbits, no top hats — just #GilliamFellow Axel Vera leveling up on the standard poster session with a little sleight of hand. We guarantee you've never heard an anti-CRISPR (used to help control & improve precision gene editing) explainer like this before, & it's ... magic 🪄.

HILARIOUS‼️🤣

The SAVE America Act forces states to submit their voter rolls to a DHS program that has a history of flagging eligible U.S. citizens for removal with little to no explanation. You may not realize your state removed you until election day. And to reregister, you'll need documents you may not have.

I don't know what your phone app for Sunday but it's NOT a washout. That being said, there are no 100% dry chunks of time until after 6PM.
