Title: Neural mechanisms of rhythmic motor control in Drosophila, Abstract:
All animal locomotion is rhythmic, whether it is achieved through undulatory movement of the whole body or the coordination of articulated limbs. Neurobiologists have long studied locomotor circuits that produce rhythmic activity with non-rhythmic input, also called central pattern generators (CPGs). However, the cellular and microcircuit implementation of a CPG for walking has not been described for any limbed animal. New comprehensive connectomes of the fruit fly ventral nerve cord (VNC) provide an opportunity to study rhythmogenic walking circuits at a synaptic scale. We use a data-driven network modeling approach to identify and characterize a putative CPG that controls walking in Drosophila.

Title: The Human Right to Science, Abstract:
The right to benefit from progress in science and its applications (known more succinctly as “the right to science”) has existed since the dawn of international human rights. It was codified in the 1948 American Declaration of Human Rights first. A few months later, it was included in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and, in 1967, became part of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. From there, it spread to several other international legal regimes, both global and regional.
Yet, despite its long lineage and widespread codification, for long it was nicknamed the “Cinderella of human rights”. Poorly understood and very rarely invoked by those who could benefit from it, it confounded international legal scholars and practitioners, as there was no agreement on its rights and duties. In the 2010s, the right to science became the focus of an…
