We’re excited to welcome Maria Kalambokidis, PhD, to Stellate as an Account Coordinator ✨ Maria is an evolutionary biologist with expertise in academic research, STEM engagement, and science writing. We’re thrilled to have her on the team 💜 Learn more: stellatecomms.com/team

You've been meaning to break ground on your website for months... or longer... ✨ Site Lab exists for exactly this ✨ Hand us content + a few aesthetic preferences, and we build it — color palette, fonts, layout, mobile optimization —& then launch it🚀 www.stellatecomms.com/creative

One of the most valuable things trainees can see is how scientists think through uncertainty. We do this each year at #MPMD. Each PI brings a question instead of a talk—and we work through it together. I hope others consider this format created by Simona Ghetti, hosted this year by Jeni Pathman.

Not every website starts from the same place... & not every budget does either ✨ We offer 3 web packages built for different stages, timelines & goals. Fully bespoke custom builds, to a launched site in a month — see how they compare 👇🏽 Get a quote: www.stellatecomms.com/creative

There’s still time to apply for #OptoGRC2026! 🙌 All applications are considered for support, including the opportunity for full registration coverage. Poster submissions & statements of interest encouraged! Apply by 2/20 to maximize your chances👇 www.grc.org/optogenetic-...

(1/6) We have a new paper out in #eNeuro! How does the brain’s reward processing change across social contexts? We mapped brain activity (cFos) & found that social context reshapes how reward circuits are coordinated🐭🏆 Read more: www.eneuro.org/content/12/1...

New from @stellatecomms.bsky.social ✨❄️ An icy website design for @nelsontotah.bsky.social's group at Helsinki Institute of Life Science! Go check out the *STUNNING* research illustrations. You won't be disappointed... totahlab.org/research

Beautiful watercolor brain paintings each one of a kind, at the Art of Neuroscience area at #sfn #sfn25

The Preston Lab will be at @sfn.org #SfN2025! Come see what we've been working on 🧠 We'll discuss how kids & adults remember when things happen, how memory changes impact reasoning & how we learn different actions have different consequences based on the setting. Find us Monday & Wednesday 🤘

Calling all creative social media enthusiasts! 📷 The Dunn Lab is seeking support to share our science through videos & photos on social media. If you have a talent for content creation & are local to #PurdueUniversity Indianapolis campus, please apply by November 30, 2025!

(1/4) 🧠 Did you know that kids remember time differently than adults? Our new preprint review w/ @drjeni-mdlab.bsky.social discusses the real implications for juvenile justice & why we need to ask about timing in ways that match kids' developing brains ⚖️ Paper: osf.io/preprints/ps...

#ThisWeekInNPP This 🔄 Review 🔄 from @zfarahbakhsh.bsky.social & @codysiciliano.bsky.social critically assesses long-held assumptions of kappa opioid receptor (KOR) function & argues for a re-evaluation of existing frameworks to refine how KOR signaling is conceptualized & leveraged for treatment 💊

Thanks @avaskham.bsky.social & @thetransmitter.bsky.social for including me in this discussion of why individual differences matter. My work & others show that tracking individual behavior can reveal circuits & mechanisms that group averages miss #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/animal-behav...

Big news at Stellate! 🎉 🌟 Ariana White has been promoted to President after 5 incredible years leading with strategy, care & media expertise. 🌟 @baileycsarka.bsky.social is now Account Executive—a client-first problem solver with creative energy & sharp instincts. Congratulations both!

Science orgs & nonprofits: join us for a FREE webinar on revamping your website. We’ll cover: ✔️ Signs it’s time to redesign ✔️ How great design drives funding + engagement ✔️ Tips for translating science online Design isn't just pretty, it's impactful! Register: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

What’s better than a one-channel #Miniscope? 🥁 A TWO-CHANNEL Miniscope! Our new Miniscope2C is a dual-channel, open-source Miniscope that lets you record 2 fluorescent signals simultaneously in freely moving animals. Read the paper here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (1/10)

Wildlife populations have declined by 73% since 1970—up from 69% in 2022, according to @worldwildlife.org. At ESP, we believe every species has a voice. This #WorldBiodiversityDay, we invite you to reflect on why listening matters now more than ever. Learn more: livingplanet.panda.org/en-US/

📢 We've open-sourced NatureLM-audio, the first audio-language foundation model for #bioacoustics. Trained on large-scale animal vocalization, human speech & music datasets, the model enables zero-shot classification, detection & querying across diverse species & environments 👇🏽

The Cai Lab is at @mpfneuro.bsky.social's Emerging Neurotechnology course this week, running a #Miniscope workshop. The course kicked off Monday with an AMAZING keynote by Nobel Laureate @stefanhelllabs.bsky.social. Looking forward to the rest of the week’s activities! 🤓 #Neuroskyence
