Our dispatch: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982225014691 on the recent Hydra volume EM paper by Zhang, Rafa Yuste and colleagues: #connectomics, without synapses https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982225013090 #neuroscience

We’re collecting protocols and reviews for studying neural mechanisms in marine invertebrates. Submit your functional imaging, connectomics, or electrophysiology techniques to our JOVE Methods Collection and help make these approaches accessible across species. app.jove.com/methods-coll...

Interested in a #PhD with neuroendocrine and bioimaging focus? Check out our @swbiodtp.bsky.social project 'Creating a functional map for brain-gut signalling in a simple worm', with @alexdcorbett.bsky.social and CASE partner Cairn Research Ltd. Application deadline Wednesday 3rd December.

🪸 Two weeks to go! Please apply for this Postdoc position! 🪸

First neurons didn’t appear overnight. We trace their roots to ancient secretory cells - showing how lifestyle & behavior shaped the evolution of first synapses.🧠🌊 #Evolution #Neuroscience Our latest in @natrevneuro.nature.com Link: rdcu.be/eMX3E @jeffcolgren.bsky.social @msarscentre.bsky.social

A joint Macquarie/St Andrews fully funded PhD scholarship is available to optimise the design of oyster reef restoration projects for biodiversity outcomes. The PhD will be jointly supervised by @melaniejbishop.bsky.social and me. See lnkd.in/e_Tr2EXQ

Excited to share that my latest paper is out in Open Biology! It explores how late larval development allocates resources depending on the food source. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

Latest from ours: www.cell.com/cell-reports... This is two stories in one: a case study/cautionary tale on developing genetic tools in new organisms, and the first hint at a gene regulatory network for choanoflagellate multicellular development (which turn out to involve a Hippo/YAP/ECM loop!) A 🧵

Congratulations!

Do you want to understand how developmental programs are encoded in animal genomes? Join our lab at the @szndohrn.bsky.social for a PhD project to unravel the developmental dynamics in sea urchins during the metamorphosis from larva to juvenile. Deadline JUNE 14th! www.szn.it/index.php/it...

Interested in how food affects larval development? Check out my new preprint 👉 (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) This work wouldn’t have been possible without the support of @marinvmet.bsky.social and @camzoology.bsky.social
