Excited to announce that applications are open for the Asilomar meeting on The Ethical and Societal Implications of Neural Organoids, Assembloids, and Their Transplantation! As the technologies & applications of 3D neural models evolve, a number of ethical and societal issues are emerging.

TOMORROW: DDD seminar, July 8, 2025 @ 1PM Eastern US: Dr. Alessandro Vitriolo @alessandrovitriolo.bsky.social (Lab of Dr. Giuseppe Testa) “Regulatory logic of human cortex evolution by combinatorial perturbations”. seminar info: carlocolantuoni.org/seminar [repost to spread the word]

The nature of Neolithic society is one of the most debated topics in archaeology–a debate that's almost impossible to settle w/ conventional methods alone. Now, new DNA data from a site in Turkey called Çatalhöyük points to a significant role for women: www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org

@berthetmelissa.bsky.social et al. report that bonobo (Pan paniscus) vocalizations have nontrivial compositionality, challenging the belief that this is a uniquely human trait. Bonobo communication involves complex meaning structures, not just simple combinations! 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

So glad to see this work preprinted. Thanks @ludoritz.bsky.social for spearheading this massive effort with me and Mariana. There are so many good things in this paper. Thanks to Giuseppe and Raymond for guiding us. Thanks to collaborators, and #HVDAS families. #ADNP #neurodevelopment #multiomics

Interested in disease modelling, stem cell models metabolism and novel on-chip technology? Then this might be an exciting project for you. PhD position in now open www.radboudumc.nl/en/vacancies...

🚨 New paper on ArXiv: “Uncertainty quantification and posterior sampling for network reconstruction” TL;DR; We present an efficient method to sample the entire ensemble of possible network reconstructions that are compatible with an indirect observation, e.g. a dynamics. Short thread: 1/N

We are recruiting 2 postdocs to help us understand the mechanisms underlying HSV-1 latency. You will be part of a collaborative team & receive extensive mentorship to develop your own independent line of research. #stemcells #virology Please share 🙏 careers.humantechnopole.it/o/postdoc-ha...
