what an incredible achievement and resource for retina researchers. We use it, we love it — it is a game changer for all of us who love retinal circuits. Kudos.

Eyewire II is a great research project from @philipp.hertie.ai's lab and international collaborators! Read @janlause.bsky.social's thread to find out more👇

Feller lab reunion at #FASEB #retina meeting. What a thrill to have old and young generations together atni e fantastic meeting

It’s the very cool @katrinfranke.bsky.social speaking about her work from retina to cortex at the #FASEB Retinal Research Conference.

It’s @hirokiasari.bsky.social presenting his computational work on neural circuits at #FASEB Retinal Research Conference.

It’s the incomparable @bevilconway.bsky.social from the NIH/NEI speaking at #FASEB Retinal Research Conference.

It’s @teuler.bsky.social talking about his work with Eyewire II at #FASEB Retinal Research Conference.

It’s @kerschensteiner.bsky.social at the #FASEB Retinal Research Conference talking about his work in understanding motion detection in retina.

It’s Rachana Deven Somaiya from @mfeller.bsky.social’s lab giving her first ever #FASEB Retina Conference talk.

Amazing job opportunity at Brandeis - we are looking for a new manager of our Light Microscopy Facility! Cool instruments, a great community to work with, lots of opportunities for growth - please circulate! brandeis.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Jobs/j...

Hey New Jersey people- Early voting starts May 26. The primary is June 2. Vote for Sam Wang!!

Thanks Liqun Luo for speaking at UC Berkeley’s first Neuroscience Dept graduation under chair @danfeldman.bsky.social Students loved hearing life lessons from the author of their favorite textbook. (The loudest applause was definitely for the textbook itself! 📚)

in Sacramento with biologists from @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social drumming up support from SB 895. Lets save CA science

hello @arvoinfo.bsky.social - check at our poster on role of glia in retina vasculature development from (almost) Dr. Samira Monshetehadi at board 0099 this AM. And then recruit her for a job at your company!

From photoreceptors to visual processing — #Webvision is your open-access deep dive into how we see. Now hosted at our Department, continuing its mission to make vision science accessible to all. Start exploring → www.webvision.pitt.edu#Webvision #Ophthalmology #Neuroscience

Incredible study - is there anything this lab can’t do? congrats to the team!

New publication: Inner-Retinal Changes In AMD: Evidence, Mechanisms, and Future Perspectives. A fun project with Matt Trinh, Michael Kalloniatis, myself, Glenn Yiu, Enrico Borrelli, and Lisa Nivison-Smith bryanwjones.com/2026/03/inne...

Bogus autism treatments suck the oxygen out of the room for treatments that can help families. I’m running for Congress to help save democracy, but I’m also going to use democracy to save science.

New paper out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social 🎉 What determines contextual modulation in V1? Why does the visual surround sometimes facilitate and sometimes suppress a neuron's response to its preferred stimulus?

mad neuroscientists marching in Berkeley

A neuroscientist in the House!….let’s help make this happen. Thank you @samwang.bsky.social for stepping up

Posting on behalf of (soon-to-be) Dr. Samira Monshietehadi (not on Bluesky) -- "I’m very excited to announce that my PhD thesis project is now a preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... We show how Müller glia engage with growing retina vasculature in an activity-independent manner."(1/11)

Bay Area friends, I'm coming out this weekend! Meet up with me in the Stanford/Silicon Valley area. We have a great event on Saturday. Please come! RSVP for details: secure.actblue.com/donate/wange... In a hotly contested primary in NJ-12, help send a scientist and democracy reformer to Congress!

New preprint from the group on the evolution of retinal cell types. Check the summary by Dario @dariotommasini.bsky.social !

gorgrous day to @standupforscience.bsky.social in SF with Stanford Colleague @wormsense.bsky.social and @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social #neuroscience and #mcb colleagues.

Go @annaintegrated.bsky.social !!

Calling all Bay Area scientists and science believers - come to Civic Center Plaza from 1-3. We need to let them know that we support basic research and evidence-based science policies!

Respect to my US friends and colleagues taking part today in rallies for @standupforscience.bsky.social - and for non-citizen US residents who have reason to worry about the consequences of standing up.

2/3 www.standupforscience.net

This is how you do it! Kudos to @standupforscience.bsky.social. Rally 'round, dorks! www.statnews.com/2026/03/06/s...

1-3pm San Francisco, Saturday, March 7: fight2win.standupforscience.net/SF-March/

We’re looking for a new Research Tech! Our research tech is heading to graduate school (very exciting!), which means we’re recruiting someone new to join our team. The position involves hands-on neuroscience research in a collaborative environment. brandeis.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Jobs/job/Bra...

we are happening in SF - hope to see you all there!

Vision Science makes the front page of NYT!! featuring work from @neurofishh.bsky.social and @denilsson.bsky.social with comments from Berkeley's own @karthikshekhar.bsky.social #visionscience www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/s...

Can't make it to #NJ12? Wherever you are, donate to my campaign!!. Wherever you are in the country, if you want to fight gerrymandering, defend science, and rebuild democracy, I'm on your side! Donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/sam4nj

anyone else see Bayes theorum in the superbowl ad?

I’m supporting @samwang.bsky.social (even though I don’t live New Jersey) - because he’s the type of scientist-as policy-maker that we so desperately need. Join me in helping him succeed!

Inspiring article explaining why friend and colleague Sam Wang is running for Congress. Lets help put a Neuroscientist into the halls of policy-making.

Grab some popcorn and check out this fantastic "post-orial" from the soon-to-be-Dr. @miah-pitcher.bsky.social This story has everything: movies of retinal waves, explanations of dendritic integration, images of starburst cells. Enjoy!

yes!

Stand Up for NCAR! Link in our bio!

A new paper from my lab. I will have a full description soon. rdcu.be/eX1Ld

G+D together with JHU worked to put together this cool video describing our latest work! Check it out!
