Let's start a conversation about brain evolution!
tibbe-evolneuro.bsky.social
We invite you to connect with the TIBBE community on Mattermost, an open-source platform for real-time discussion and collaboration. This is a great space to share ideas, ask questions, and engage in conversations around the Integrative Biology of Brain Evolution.

Excited for the upcoming TIBBE online talks &discussions with the amazing @matosches.bsky.social & @pkatz.bsky.social around
How can we define homologous cell types across vertebrates and invertebrates?
Next Wednesday, September 10, 2pm UTC, 4pm Paris 🧠🦎🐣🐭🌊 Join us www.crowdcast.io/c/evolution-...

I meant to ask you a question after your very interesting talk. Why are naked mole rats naked and how does it interact with the sensitivity since it seems like all other species have the same fur?
