Today is Friday, 13th, and we are missing 13 followers until we reach 1000 😱 Challenge for the end of the week: Can we reach a bluesky community of 1000 neuroethologists!? #Neuroethology 🧠🧪 Please share widely 🫶

Also encourage all your fellow neurethologists to become a member of the International Society of #Neuroethology 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🧑‍🔬 You can find more information about ISN and the benefits of being a member here: ↘️ members.neuroethology.org/member-appli... ↙️

🎤We are thrilled to present our first keynote speaker giving the opening lecture. Meet Prof. Dr. Charlotte Förster from the University of Würzburg⏰ Get ready for an amazing talk not only about Chronobiology but also about her impressive career path. 📍GSLS University of Würzburg 📅8 june 2026

To all neurobiology PhD students in Germany: this looks amazing, go register :-)

Jointly sponsored by the German Neuroscience Society and the German Zoological Society, this is a fantastic opportunity for PhD Students and alike! Definitely attend!

📢 Join us, the Haberkern lab, @uni-wuerzburg.de for a postdoc studying neural circuit mechanisms of navigation. You’ll spearheading neurophysiology experiments on our brand new 2P! ⏳ Apply by 28th February 2026 Details: www.haberkernlab.de/docs/ENPostd... #neuroscience #academicjobs #postdoc

This looks like a fantastic graduate meeting by our EvoBIo colleagues of the DZG! 👏

🚨We are looking for neurobiologists who are interested in joining our team as section speakers of the German Zoological Society. If you enjoy interacting with your fellow neuro-addicts, want to help shape the direction of our society and section, and have a knack for organizing symposia let us know🚨

New paper covering what we think is a pretty nice and comprehensive overview over tools suitable for neuroethology in butterflies and moths. Also, check out the whole special issue if you're an insect neuroethologist. @neuroethology.org @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social doi.org/10.1007/s003...

🚨 Journal of Comparative Physiology A #JCP-A has published a collection on "The #Honeybee #Odometer Controversy" 🐝 ↘️ link.springer.com/collections/... ↙️ Read and discuss the issue of the "most serious allegation of scientific misconduct in the history of #neuroethology" with students & colleagues 💬

Excellent talk by Andrea Adden of the @neuroluci.bsky.social lab @crick.ac.uk. @neuroethology.org @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social Check out her Nature paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delighted that my PhD student @v-kirsch.bsky.social received an award for her poster on RHODOPSIN 7 in the @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social section. Many thanks to the @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social for a wonderful and inspiring meeting! #DZG #Drosophila #Rhodopsin7

Our paper on central complex evolution in Heliconiini butterflies is now available as reviewed preprint at @elife.bsky.social 🎉🎉. Please check out the helpful and constructive reviews which we are going to address in the next weeks 🤗 elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... @ebablab.bsky.social

José Borrero from Richard Merrill's lab studies how the visual acuity changes with age in different species of Heliconius butterflies and how it is related to brain morphology and neurogenesis. #dzg2025 @borreroja.bsky.social @dickmerrill.bsky.social

Yesterday we also had two fantastic invited speakers, representing also the wide diversity of approaches and model system that the section of neurobiology covers. @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social @neuroethology.org

🤩 It's always a pleasure to present our #ant #research 🧪🐜🧭☀️, especially to such a nice audience 🧠💖 @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social ✨️New level of proudness: @chiaratenne.bsky.social presents parts of her project in her very 1st conference talk @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social🥳 Brilli🐜 presentation🤩 #ProudPi

Additional @neuroethology.org highlights of the @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social on the second day: The second @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social invited talk was by @beetzjerome.bsky.social from @uni-wuerzburg.de on his work on compass and place coding in insects 🧭🧠🦋🐝

Massive news for our past section speaker @anna-stoeckl.bsky.social - congratulations!

@silkesachse.bsky.social ’s plenary talk @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social on the neural basis of insect olfaction. 👀👀 👏🏻 also another neuro talk. Just sayin’ 💅 @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social

Many organizations providing grants or scholarships in academia aim to consider challenges that follow from chronic illness. However, in practise often an exessive ammount documentation to "prove" the existance and impact of the condition is requested. 1/n

We had a fantastic contributed talk and invited talk session today at @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social for the section Neurobiology. Disclaimer: I didn't manage to take pictures of all of our fabulous speakers which only reflects my personal failure more than anything else 🫠

new paper by last years invited speaker at DZG24! check it out

1 WEEK to go for DZG 2025 in Berlin 😱😍 See you soon! @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social @dzg-sysbiodiv.bsky.social
