Alright rat #neuroskyence community, lock in! We have an #OpenScienceWeek treat for you. You've asked for it in our DMs, comments, and SfN booth. 🥁🥁🥁 MapMyCells can now map rat data and map it onto any of our mouse or human taxonomies! More info: community.brain-map.org/t/new-featur...

1/ 🚨 New preprint! 🚨 Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 💻 code + data 🔗 below 🤩 #neuroskyence

For >5 years, the International Sleep Replay Workshops (ISRW) have brought together scientists studying sleep & memory. The next ISRW will be on March 6th in Vancouver (before @cogneuronews.bsky.social). Follow the link for details and to join the mailing list. isrw.bio.uci.edu Pls repost! #sleep

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

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.

Faculty position in aging in Montreal! www.nature.com/naturecareer...

The Mount Sinai Neuroscience seminars (MSNseminars) committee is now actively accepting applications from postdocs! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers. My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers. We found 437 of them. Download it freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

Miami is hiring a neurobiologist! I am excited to welcome a new colleague to our Neuroscience community! Please share! miamioh.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/miamio...

📣 We are expanding! Repost 🙏🏽 - Postdoc (funded by @simonsfoundation.org grant on synchronisation between cognitive representations and stepping) - Project Associates - Create your role! (Reach out if you are keen on these topics and these roles do not define you 👀🤗) www.neuroact.in

Wow Karolinska Institutet is recruiting 20 outstanding early-career researchers for assistant professor positions ki.se/en/about-ki/...

Amidst everything, the lab's first preprint is out! It's just a methods paper, no scientific results (yet!), but it's still great to see it all pulled together. We hope that these open-source behavioral tools will be useful for others!

For ESIs dealing with grants being rescinded: if an investigator’s 1st substantial independent research award is terminated within the first 3 years of the project period (not due to scientific misconduct ) they can request the reinstatement of ESI status grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

🚨 I'm tuning into the most substantial hearing to date of two lawsuits challenging NIH's termination of thousands of grants. I'll post some of the major updates here, so follow along.

⚖️ HUGE day today in the NIH terminations cases There's a trial (of sorts) at 10a ET in Boston today for arguments that NIH unlawfully terminated 100s of grants. It's a 3 hour hearing and I'll post periodic updates. Of note: this is the 1st lawsuit filed against the Trump Admin to go to trial.

We are thrilled to announce the 2025 Leading Edge Fellows! 40 outstanding postdoctoral fellows doing pioneering research in a wide range of biological and biomedical disciplines. Learn more about these exceptional scientists: www.leadingedgesymposium.org/fellows

Channel your science anxiety into action. Comment on or before tomorrow! Keep scientists in roles at NIH and NSF and keep politicians out of them. Tell your non-science friends — universally hated idea to put politicians in these roles! 🧪

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday 📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

We are excited to announce our new Simons Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience (SCENE)! This program will unite experts in experimental and computational #neuroscience approaches to investigate how the brain represents sensorimotor interactions. www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/24/s... #science

So many grim headlines each day but here is one piece of GREAT news!! Mari's lab is going to tackle such critical and underexplored questions and will be an incredible place to train! Can't wait to see what you accomplish, @marisosa.bsky.social 🍻🤩

ACTION ITEM-----ACTION ITEM Implementation of Schedule F This is what a lot of us have been worried about. This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs. BUT THERE IS A COMMENT PERIOD... 1/n

Applications are open for the Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) - there are slots at UW (including in my lab)! Not limited to students at host institutions; undergrads from nearby colleges/universities are welcome to apply too. www.simonsfoundation.org/funding-oppo...

New opinion paper in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social with Dan Bendor, where we argue that rodent studies provide only marginal support for the idea that replay supports real-time decisions (e.g. planning). Fictive learning and memory tagging are more consistent w/evidence. www.cell.com/trends/neuro...

📚 Are you an early career researcher (undergrad to postdoc) in psych, neuro, or a related field? Are you seeking feedback on an unsubmitted manuscript or a response to reviews? Our “pre-review” program offers feedback from experienced reviewers! 👇 Learn more & apply: go.iu.edu/rzfair

Are you a scientist or student heading to a @standupforscience.bsky.social ‬rally this Friday? We want to hear from you. Tell us about yourself and why you’re going, how far you’re traveling, why you’re fired up, and whether there will be car snacks. Call or text us at (646) 767-6532.

great opportunity for someone who loves undergraduate teaching and ephys! Applications due 4/1

A+ distraction from all the grim headlines: first batch of lab sweatshirts turned out SO good 🤗

IMPORTANT Collecting data to understand and strengthen arguments about the impact of the administration's ill-considered actions and the responses of universities... Please share!

I just reached out to my senators about the NIH situation. If you need to find out how much impact NIH has in your state in terms of dollars in and their economic impact here's a link: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

New paper out! Led by @michaelecoulter.bsky.social, we learned that rats can learn to use content-specific neurofeedback to generate specific remote hippocampal representations. surprisingly, this occurs *outside* of SWRs!

Are you using 5xFAD mice to study Alzheimer’s disease? Our work out today @cp-neuron.bsky.social may be relevant to you 🐁🧠 Age and sex are known to influence Aβ plaque burden in these mice. Here, we found that the transgene parentage is another strong determinant. Thread below: (1/11)

Klingenstein Fellowship Awards in Neuroscience applications are open! This is an excellent opportunity for early career investigators in neuro. Learn more at klingenstein.org/esther-a-jos... APPLICATION ARE DUE FEBRUARY 1, 2025

My lab has an opening for a technician! It would be a great 1-2yr opportunity for someone interested in memory mechanisms, looking for ephys/rodent behavior experience before grad or med school. Please share with anyone you think might be interested! uwhires.admin.washington.edu/ENG/candidat...

Super niche question for movable tetrode drive users! Do you do anything to prevent CSF/blood wicking into the drive? mineral oil, paraffin, petroleum jelly, dow-sil, etc? we've been using mineral oil w/ a new open ephys-like drive for rats and are having major issues with tetrodes getting stuck 😫

Reposting again for the influx of new folks here - come be our new colleague at UW (or help us find them!) Deadline is Dec 1.

go.bsky.app/LdtUYZS I created a starter pack for the growing community of hippocampus physiologists that have joined the great migration. Also included the physiology-adjacent. Tell me who I haven’t found yet

My department (UW Neurobiology and Biophysics) is hiring. Open search. 2 positions. A good place to live and do science. I just took a walk outside and there were hundreds of crows eating acorns under a big red oak down by the lake. Join us. apply.interfolio.com/155882
