@sfn.org #SfN25 #SanDiego starts this Saturday. The lab is going to be there in full force - see our presentations below. Represented this year by @borderbiologist.bsky.social, Nick Kathman, @mrodea.bsky.social, @melcooperphd.bsky.social, @pryprk.bsky.social, @kerrylimberg.bsky.social. (1/2)

We are doing it again!!!! Save the date for the next in-person #AstrocyteCafe next June 3-5 (2026) in Pamplona (Spain)! We can’t wait to see many of you in person again, thanks so much to the main local organizer @maitesolas.bsky.social ♥️

The fully funded PhD studentship in my lab is focused on reducing e-waste. Apply here: ucl-epsrc-dtp.github.io/2026-27-proj...

If you’re interested in glia and you’ll be at SfN in San Diego, please join us!

Hello UK scientists 👋🏿👋🏾👋🏽👋🏼👋🏻👋 Bristol in June 2026, the second UK Glia Network meeting will be featuring some of the best glial biology happening across the country. Come to network, present your work and meet future collaborators Registration info here: www.physoc.org/events/uk-gl...

Out today in Nature: We uncover a neural mechanism for the integration of two internal states - hunger and estrous state - and how this integration shapes pup-directed behaviors in mice. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Butter, milk, beef, chocolate and coffee are responsible for much of the UK’s food inflation, with climate change the key driver of rising grocery bills #climatecrisis @eciu.net HT @carbonbrief.org www.ft.com/content/ced8...

Love this, I met @michellemonje.bsky.social after my first child years ago. I was feeling anxious about my science future, Michelle was very encouraging. What an incredible role model @carersinstemm.bsky.social Now I have 3 children and my first grant

The magnificent Wills memorial building @bristoluni.bsky.social will be the location for the 2nd UK Glia meeting in June 2026 Have a look at registration information and programme information here www.physoc.org/events/uk-gl...

🚨 I’ve got some exciting news! I have two PhD positions available in my group to advance Digital Endocrinology at @manchester.ac.uk Please help disseminate widely (application deadline 15th Nov): 1. Modelling hormonal dynamics in the human HPA axis. www.findaphd.com/phds/project... (1/2)

Landmark publication from @junnagai.bsky.social lab! Incredible work really detailing the neural mechanisms that recruit astrocyte ensembles ! 🤩 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just out in Nature! “The astrocytic ensemble acts as a multiday trace to stabilize memory.” We identified astrocytic ensembles that link experiences across days to stabilize memory nature.com/articles/s41.... New astrocyte tools are openly available at Addgene: addgene.org/Jun_Nagai/. 1/8

We hire! The CytoMorpho Lab is looking for an engineer with a background in cell and molecular biology to join our team in Paris. This is a 18-month contract position, but we're open to exploring long-term opportunities. More details here: cytomorpholab.com/index.php/jo...

I'll be one of the panelists at this great event! If you happen to be in San Diego make sure you attend and say hello 👋🏼

Hello world 👋👋🏻👋🏼👋🏽👋🏾👋🏿 Quietly setting up my own lab in Sheffield. Thank you to my funders @wellcometrust.bsky.social Thank you to the @thetransmitter.bsky.social for featuring me today www.thetransmitter.org/liftoff-new-...

'It’s not just us who struggle in the heat.' @oxmartinschool.bsky.social's Prof Paul Behrens explains how climate change is driving up the cost of food. #OxfordClimate

www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7... Very excited to share the first publication of Dylan Dunkwu who recently joined the Christie lab - nothing like your first paper moment 🍾🥂🍾

The time to carry out diagnostic MRI scans for dementia can be cut to one third of their standard length, finds a new study led by @uclqsion.bsky.social researchers with @uclengineering.bsky.social, who say it could at least double the number of dementia scans that can be done in one day

www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/oc... Excellent work from Nick Fox, Geoff Parker and others

Join researchers, clinicians and neurosurgeons for an afternoon of expert insights and networking to discuss the practicalities and potential of using human brain tissue to replace animal models in neuroscience. 📅 Friday 7 November, 13.00 – 16.00 📍 UCL, London Register: nc3rs.org.uk/events/using...

Prof Selina Wray will join us as our careers keynote, sharing her journey from a working class background and part time work through to a professorship, and Dr Carole Torsney, our research keynote, will tell us about her preclinical research on sex & gender disparities in pain.

Building reproducible systems across labs is possible, even in large-scale neuroscience. You just need rigor, collaboration and the willingness to look your own practices in the eye, writes Anne Churchland. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/reproducibil...
