Summary:
"Why Did The Moth Fly Into The Flame? This is a blog post from Björn Brembs accompanying the publication with his co-authors E. Axel Gorostiza and Julien Colomb: A decision underlies phototaxis in an insect.
I absolutely love everything about the way this research was shared by the Brembs lab.
- The paper was posted as a preprint prior to submission and all previous versions of the article are available as biorxiv preprints.
- The published research paper is open access.
- The raw data are available at figshare.
- All authors were listed with their ORCID IDs and all materials referenced with RRIDs.
- All methods are detailed with DOIs on protocols.io.
- The blog post gives the history and context of the work. It's a fascinating and accessible read for non-fly scientists and non-scientists alike.
Beautiful!"
