He then worked as a cabinetmaker in Montana and crab electrophysiologist in Argentina before completing a PhD in Michael Reiser\u0026rsquo;s lab at HHMI\/Janelia in 2012. For his doctoral work, John studied the algorithmic implementation of visual motion detection in the miniature brain of the fruit fly, Drosophila. As a post-doc in Rachel Wilson\u0026rsquo;s lab at Harvard, he pioneered the study of touch processing in sensorimotor neural circuits of the fly. John is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Washington. His lab combines genetic tools with electrophysiology and optical imaging to understand how the fly brain senses the body and controls behavior. In 2017, John was named a Klingenstein-Simons Fellow, Alfred P. Sloan Fellow and Searle Scholar.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Neural Mechanisms of Limb Proprioception and Motor Control in Drosophila\u0022 John Tuthill, Ph.D. -  University of Washington"}],"uid":"35486","created_gmt":"2022-08-15 17:48:05","changed_gmt":"2022-08-15 19:03:32","author":"Christina Wessels","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2022-11-07T11:15:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2022-11-07T12:15:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2022-11-07T12:15:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2022-11-07 16:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2022-11-07 17:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2022-11-07 17:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
