Need a reason to join next year's #NeuroBioUK? Here it is :) Thanks Sally for the amazing review focalplane.biologists.com/2025/10/06/n...

Poster boards are ready and waiting for #NeuroBioUK - let’s get this science party started 🥳

We're kicking off the third #NeuroBioUK - an exciting day full of neuronal cell biology ahead! Massive thank for @bscb-official.bsky.social support and a shout out to our industry sponsors!

hiya!

In contrast to tonight's sky I don't want to be dramatic, but there's only two more days left to submit an abstract to be considered for a talk at #NeuroBioUK neurobiouk.sites.sheffield.ac.uk/registration

🚨The deadline for a talk submission is approaching soon - don't miss your spot!! We can't wait to see you in York 😊 For details check out our website: neurobiouk.sites.sheffield.ac.uk/registration

Really, really amazing conference. We went last year and the scientific programme and atmosphere were incredible! I 100% recommend attending + submitting an abstract for a talk - spread the word! 🧠

Thank you @clarahowcroft.bsky.social, @toraks.bsky.social and David Dupe for getting the Northern Drosophila community together and organising the first NE fly meeting. We had a wonderful time, thanks for creating such a lovely, supportive and enthusiastic spirit. See you soon!

🥳🥳 So many good things happening recently (stayed tuned). This week, the York Neuro community celebrated that Molly Magarotto's first first author paper has been accepted. Congrats to her and the rest of the Han-Jou Chen team - they're on a roll!

It is already tomorrow, our first Fly North(East) England meeting at Northumbria University Newcastle! Co-organized with @toraks.bsky.social @dpdoupe.bsky.social. Looking forward to a day of bulding bridges and discussing how to nurture our network.

Registration is now open for NeuroBioUK 2025! This year we're looking forward to hearing from our plenary speaker @cathyabbott.bsky.social. As ever, all other talks chosen from submitted abstracts so get submitting - we can't wait to see you there! neurobiouk.sites.sheffield.ac.uk/registration

Registration is open for the third #NeuroBioUK!! @dozenoaks.bsky.social @alexfellows1.bsky.social and I are excited to see you again in York!

Flybase lost all of the NIH support overnight - it is a disaster for the community. Please consider donating. I just did! www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

not a bad place to celebrate great news 😎

ready for #emboneuro2025

hi friend!

getting ready for metal @york minster

i hope you all had a lovely day - for me a much needed break from the madness

loving springtime

If using Bloomigton #Drosophila Stock Center stocks, pls. acknowledge them & their NIH funding (P40 OD018537). Papers listing this no. are being harvested as evidence. We massively depend on the @bdsc.bsky.social & they need our support in these dire times! @flybase.bsky.social @fly-eds.bsky.social

If this resonates with you, there are always plenty of ECR slots available for NeuroBioUK. Make sure you join the email list neurobiouk.sites.sheffield.ac.uk/contact

let's goooo good morning york campus, you're gorgeous!

We felt very honoured this week that @adamgrieve.bsky.social shared his exciting and brand new (!) results on the role of rhomboid proteases at synapses for the very first time in our #celldynamics series! Such a cool talk :) Watch out for some really exciting science!

Check out our new #neuroscience @BiologyatYork banner to showcase our diverse, multidisciplinary, multi model, and so much fun research environment that you could be in by joining us as an under or postgrad york.ac.uk/study/undergra… or/and postgrad too!

hiya

Excited to see this year's #NeuroBioUK25 planned again in York for Sept 12th!

Do you need some science joy in your life? Do you like neurons? Maybe glia? Molecules? Cell biology? Save the date for #NeuroBioUK25 - the venue is booked and we are excited to see you and your incredible science there on the 12th of September! neurobiouk.sites.sheffield.ac.uk

Save the date: We're excited that the third NeuroBioUK will take place on September. Block it in your calendar to join us in York for a fun day of neurons, glia, cool science and chats!

it was a long winter

Axon Degeneration starter pack now updated. Plenty of room for more so give me a nudge if you’d like to be added.

Early start for the lab, on route to Edinburgh for the #scottishflymeeting

Posting this here now that the orange man has erasing scientific literature. What people, perhaps without any strong opinions on this, never understand is the barriers that academics have to overcome to publish papers on gender and trans identities. He can burn the journals, but we will keep PDFs 😘

🚨There's still time to sign up and join the PI network session that @mjplevin.bsky.social and I are organising with the @prosperpostdoc.bsky.social team - hear from a fantastic range of speakers talk about their #labhandbook journeys

good morning birds of michigan

awesome beer and best company @marvinbentley.bsky.social

Welcome @marvinbentley.bsky.social! 😊

from old to new york let's goooooo

grant submitted, the joy of early jan deadlines

Still have energy for science in the dark end of the year? Our new preprint is up. The tl;dr - we took a deep dive on kinesin-1 conformational dynamics and came up with a model that is basically “it’s really floppy”. Evie who led the work compared it to the air dancer gifs, and now I can’t unsee it.

this episode is sooooo good

It's such a joy to see students and lab members develop, grow and sharing their excitement for our research (neurons rule!!). Our goal is create a safe space where everyone feels that they belong, are valued and heard. I feel truly lucky to work with the most wonderful people!

Three more days to apply!

looks about right blaming @samjohnson.bsky.social for introducing me to 1 and 3 :)
