As many scientists are fleeing the former bird app, I’ll reintroduce myself. I’m a professor in developmental neurobiology at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. I study how neurons are born and migrate during the formation of the 🧠. #devbio #neuroscience #evodevo #cytoskeleton

Stunning work from the Lichtman Lab & Google Connectomics: a true 3D EM reconstruction of a single cortical neuron, with every yellow dot marking a synapse.
AI tools trace thousands of spines, revealing the micro-architecture of cortical computation. One cell, an entire universe (Nicolas Hubacz)

This is a society defining moment. Do we cede our ability to think critically, which is critical for a functioning democracy?

“A college degree is not just about a job afterward — you have to be able to think, solve problems and apply those solutions”

Our work out in @devbiol.bsky.social, PDGFra is needed for 🧠 perivascular fibroblast development... ⬇️ perivascular fibroblast = ⬇️ perivascular macrophage...cross-talk? 👀
Led by Hannah Jones @hejcell.bsky.social w/ Kelsey Abrams, Sophia Kim, excited for more projects w/ @fantauzzolab.bsky.social!

Since Skype no longer exists (or is no longer supported), maybe we should change it to Teams a Technologist, or Zoom a Zoologist; maybe Videoconference a Virologist. Or Screentime with a Scientist? I know, not the same ring to it 🤣

New IJDB issue! Our cover image features an immunostaining of neural crest cells and their derivatives in an Mllt1 E10.5 murine embryo from the paper by Zinck et al doi.org/10.1387/ijdb... Congratulations to the team of @aineurolab.bsky.social for their outstanding contribution!

Thanks Christian. I know is neurons, and to be honest, would be fun to try mesoderm projects again, as I once did as a grad student! That zoom scope would be ideal to screen Lpm enhancers.

This whole mount image was taken using a Zeiss Zoomscope V.16, which is one my favorite scopes in the lab. @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social
Prospective grad students, wouldn’t you like to have fun using this scope? I even have a custom made incubation chamber for live imaging.

Happy to report that our recent findings on the innervation of the masseter made the cover of the International Journal of Developmental Biology @isdb.bsky.social .
