So much to learn about birdsong youtu.be/hCQCP-5g5bo?...

New review in PRX Life, where we propose a tangibility scale for the physics of social interactions, and highlight a few tangible examples - from dead fish “swimming” to efficient schooling, warm penguin huddles, and dry ant rafts. Written with the brilliant Chantal Nguyen 🐟🐧🐜 tinyurl.com/naet5tdh

Wednesday evening, we made an appearance on Kosovo TV: youtu.be/sNqkfZerkhQ?... On Thursday morning, I gave a lecture on flexible behavior and neuromodulation, and now we begin building our behavioral setups.

The conceptual consequences of Noether’s theorem are hard to overstate.

I’m thrilled to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. What an honour! Would not have happened without the mentors, postdocs and students who I’ve had the great privilege to learn and collaborate with throughout my career. @uni-konstanz.de @maxplanck.de

First day with @benjulab.bsky.social at Charité, where I'm starting my PhD investigating neural dynamics of the beautiful singer Danionella Cerebrum.

Amongst all the rodents, humans and flies we bring the zebratastical fish @bahllab.bsky.social #NWG2025

Opening lecture about axon growth and regeneration by Frank Bradke from @dzne.science #NWG2025

Sledding from the Bahl lab retreat into #NWG2025! Come check out our posters and talks over the next few days. See you there!

The first paper from the lab is out on biorxiv - enjoy reading! Social context and interactions influence our behavioral decisions - the same is true for the little fly larva!

We are proud to present our new preprint “Correlative light and electron microscopy reveals the fine circuit structure underlying evidence accumulation in larval zebrafish”, just posted on bioRxiv (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). (1/10)

📆 updated for 2025: list of summer schools & short courses in the realm of (computational) neuroscience or data analysis of EEG / MEG / LFP: google sheet 🔗 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This is terrifying. I am worried for the non-citizens who will be showing up to the science rallies this week. Please be smart. It’s unlikely institutions will be able to save you.

Virtual reality rewrites the rules of the swarm. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... We find that classical models of collective behavior fail to account for collective motion. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78) I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine 1/n

‘Never seen anything like this’: Trump’s team halts NIH meetings and travel In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research. #AcademicSky www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Wish you all a fishy 🐟 Christmas 🎄

The non-model organism “renaissance” has arrived Meet 10 neuroscientists bringing model diversity back @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/animal-model...

I'm excited to share another project we've been working on: The Transmitter's first book, which includes some of our favorite essays from our first ~9 months. Download a copy here: www.thetransmitter.org/transmitter-...

Happy to have hosted professor Florian Engert from @harvard.edu here at the @unikonstanz.bsky.social who shared his exciting work on analyzing heart rate and attention in larvae to gain new insights into decision-making behavior.

Everywhere we looked, space seemed to teem with biology’s raw materials. New analyses of comet and asteroid samples, along with computer modeling, suggested that organic compounds arose long before our sun even existed. www.quantamagazine.org/the-cosmos-t...

Hard to beat the white elephant gift exchange in the lab this year; anyone else surrounded by amazing students?

The introduction to this article reminds me of the intro to "States of Matter" by Goodstein. Why do so many statistical physicists sound like Dostojewski? Cool topic though, which never dies (therefore resisting the second law).

Neuroscience students asked us to teach a PRACTICAL course on experimental methods, and it is now on YouTube! Please like and repost to help us get the word out! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Lecture 1: Signals and data acquisition Focusing on hardware, digital/analog I/O, synchronization 🧵

Celebrated our first #Labsgiving! We are thankful for being able to bring together such an international and diverse group of people whose cooking creativity made this event possible!
