What a magnificent animal!

**PhD POSITIONS** I am recruiting 1-2 PhD students to work on sociality and cognition in Monk Parakeets, starting Fall 2026. Full ad is here: hobsonresearch.com/index.php/20... (please help spread the word!)

new pape from our lab, led by the indefatigable @chrisjdallmann.bsky.social. i am very proud of this one.

Come be my colleague in the department of neuroscience at OSU. We are hiring for an open rank tenure track faculty position in several focus areas.

Check out this exciting study led by Anh-Tuan Trinh from our lab, where we investigated how thalamocortical-like circuits in the zebrafish pallium receive, represent, and integrate sensory information:

Preprint -
Excited to present WHOLISTIC, which extends the concept of whole-brain functional imaging to the entire body. Pioneering work by incredibly talented Virginia Ruetten @vmsruetten.bsky.social, this platform reveals whole-organism cellular dynamics in vivo.

I do not understand how this works. The NIH reimburses actual expenses and doesn't hand out checks for the full grant amount. So how does a multi-year award affect how many grants can be awarded? It's not like the NIH can bank the money either across fiscal years either. Is it budget uncertainty?

What a world. Does this mean that R13 grants can only be used for conferences that guarantee domestic-only attendance???

Happy birthday! Here's to hoping they won't ask you to revise the date...

If that point is "what are we doing here anyway" I'm in full support 🤣

I'm not sure that's a relevant question 🦆

We’re searching for a Developmental Neuroscientist! Building on UO’s rich tradition in the field, we’re excited to welcome the next scientist to carry it forward.

We are recruiting a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Center for Childhood #Cancer Research. Come work with me!

Come join our new Department of Neuroscience @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor! aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05041

What a wonderful world that would be...

In 2021, archaeologists announced the discovery of the 3000 year old Egyptian city called "The Dazzling Aten" near Luxor.

I want to call your attention to a brick wall under the red arrow. It's 'serpentine' & a single brick wide, separating a housing complex from the road.

Why the odd shape?

Introducing our new favorite stimulus. A few minutes are enough to map the visual preferences of thousands of neurons.

New paper from our lab! This was such a fun project to be a part of - proof that sometimes following a spurious observations down the rabbit hole leads to awesome findings.

Wouldn't it be nice if money would flow to fund research instead of funding a new layer of glossy paint? But who wants to put that on their CV "bolstered existing programs"...

Truly enjoyed the scientific and social interactions at #KSNeuroimmune2025 in Whistler. Besides presenting our work & talking science, I went rock climbing with PhD student Lynette! We also hung out (a lot) with @haesemeyerlab.bsky.social & the #zebrafish crew, including a nice hike to Lost Lake!

If you're interested in moving to Montreal for a postdoc in #NeuroAI or related topics, check out this scholarship opportunity at @fasudem.bsky.social : fas.umontreal.ca/postdoctoral...

And let me know if you'd like to chat about it.

TBH I don't think that Marr's choice reigns supreme 😉, so I don't find it anymore annoying than the general lack of clear definitions for most terms used in (neuro)science 😀
