starting fall 2026 i'll be an assistant professor at @upenn.edu 🥳 my lab will develop scalable models/theories of human behavior, focused on memory and perception currently recruiting PhD students in psychology, neuroscience, & computer science! reach out if you're interested 😊

In Buzzy Papers we set out to compile some of the most exciting neuroscience papers published in the past two years! A panel of 10 neuroscientists selected the papers from a preliminary list our editorial team assembled by considering publications in top neuroscience journals

Presenting this afternoon from 1-5pm!

Put your belief about how ai and bi, capital and labor interact and simulate the economy using our intelligencesaturation.org simulator. Depending parameters you obtain runaway success with wages going to infinity, the evisceration of wages, or everything in between.

If you've ever asked me what my wife does and I tried to explain something about glaciers and forest mice and climbing...this is what I was talking about. Go prairie mouse go!!! 🐭

TT faculty job opening in #Neuroscience! We are looking for a colleague to join us in our fantastic Biology Department and Neuroscience Program at Brandeis. We are a group of *very* collaborative, supportive, and productive scientists (& humans!) so please apply academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30961

This all started 10k years ago when glaciers receded from North America and left in their wake a natural neuroscience experiment! Some deer mice moved into newly available forest habitat, and today we have forest subspecies, which show dexterous climbing, and prairie subspecies that don't

Very excited to share the amazing work of my friend and colleague @kelseytea.bsky.social !! Ecologically relevant behavior, crazy differences, connectivity, activity, genetics! A beautiful story of motor evolution. And she is on the #jobmarket!

I am thrilled to share our latest work: we identified a population of central amygdala neurons that promote the earliest and perhaps most important social behavior: pup suckling!... We also developed new tools for pup neuroscience Work by @Jeff Moore now at USC, a collaboration with @Sam Pfaff lab

#neuroskyence New paper on 'A neuroecological perspective of prefrontal cortex' by Rogier Mars and Dick Passingham Click on the link below and you have free access before Dec 7th. OH THE GENEROSITY OF ELSEVIER! And they are so poor. authors.elsevier.com/c/1lyf5Y3M3l...

The work with bats on barren, 7-acre Latham Island was Nachum Ulanovsky’s most complex undertaking yet. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/neuroetholog...

For anyone on the neuroscience job market, our ads are up. We are looking for anyone working in systems neuroscience of animals to join us in southern Alberta 🇨🇦 #academicsky #neuroskyence #neuroethology #academicjobs #Canada neurojobs.sfn.org/job/39049/as...

I am going to repost our job ad because we are not getting many applicants! Like anywhere, there are pros and cons, so if you have questions just DM or email me. #academicjobs #neuroskyence #neuroethology #academicsky

Reposting this open postdoc position with more detailed specifications. Couldn't find the right fit in the first round—not due to lack of strong candidates, but because we're looking for someone whose expertise matches a specific project. More details in the job ad. Apply! tinyurl.com/2uskxyrp

Mice do play with humans: Our new study found that selective breeding makes mice more playful toward both humans and other mice. We also found that both mice and hamsters produce distinct vocalizations depending on the species of their interaction partner. authors.elsevier.com/a/1lsK5_3oCG...

Seeking scientist volunteers for this fall! Want to practice science communication and help author a 🌟comic🌟 about your research? I need collaborators for the next cohort of SciComm & Comics art and design students. All countries and scientific fields eligible.

🚨New paper🚨 Neural manifolds went from a niche-y word to an ubiquitous term in systems neuro thanks to many interesting findings across fields. But like with any emerging term, people use it very differently. Here, we clarify our take on the term, and review key findings & challenges rdcu.be/ex8hW

Replication game- Never have I ever…. failed to record a “place cell” from the hippocampus* *except all those times where I screwed up the experiment because I’m a human and my tetrodes got stuck, the ground was broken, the tetrodes snapped, I shorted the wires, I got my synchronization wrong, etc.

Our paper on foraging is now published in Neuron! Read it here: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... This project was co-led by Michael Bukwich (not on Bluesky) and me, with major contributions from all co-authors. Huge thanks to the whole team!

In one swift moment, a traffic stop turned into a violent arrest. Video footage of the incident show a group of officers detaining three men. Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the use of a stun gun “funny”.

🚨Very happy that my PhD work is now out in @nature.com! We discovered that evolution, by acting in the midbrain, shifted the threshold to escape in Peromyscus mice, to fine-tune defensive strategies in different environments www.nature.com/articles/s41... This was a truly collaborative effort! 🧵⬇️

Love this! Tooting my own horn here, but if you’re interested in some of the practical considerations mentioned at the end of the article, you can check out this perspective from earlier in my postdoc: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

Unpopular (?) opinion: the scientific publication process is inherently discriminatory to people whose first language is not English. If people use LLMs to help them to express their own thoughts in clear, grammatically correct, English, there's nothing wrong with that.

🚨We will soon be offering #NewPositions for lab technicians, research assistants and postdocs, to join us in #Coimbra, Portugal If interested in investigating the neural circuits of #SocialCognition in rats, contact us! Details 👇🏾 dynabrain.cnc.uc.pt @caixaresearch.bsky.social @fct_pt

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Epic Burn 😂

An unusual window into social behavior. In Uruguay we would the soccer analogy “The ball looks for the player”

This hasn’t been reported as much in the media, but this attack on international scholars at Harvard seems to also affect postdocs: ~40% (3/4 of international postdocs) are on J visas (based on FAS postdoc association data) www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Scared to share this after 10 freaking years of waiting, but here we go: We found that temperature *perception* can change the biology of the next generations, even when “it’s just in the parents' head”. Read how C. elegans neurons control epigenetic inheritance! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It's Final Exam day for my decision making class, and as usual I have a few bonus questions at the end. These include: Would you prefer: a. A 50% / 50% gamble, with a payout of +1 or 0 points. b. A 50% / 50% gamble, with a payout of +2 or -1 points.

Excited to read and for my lab to have as a foundation Nachum Ulanovsky’s book on “Natural Neuroscience” .
