As promised, and committing to the core open science values of our lab, here's the updated preprint. More data, more supplementary figures, stronger conclusions. 'Strikingly different neurotransmitter release strategies in dopaminergic subclasses' www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🔜The 1st Congenital Insensitivity to Pain conference is now 1 week away! Please join us (in-person/online) if you're interested in how painlessness is inherited, different phenotypic presentations and molecular mechanisms - the developmental PRDM12-TrkA-NGF axis and Nav channels among them.

Haoming won best poster at last year’s retreat, and now Ana takes home best talk! The team is on a roll!

On the way back to London after 2 amazing days sharing science in the CDN department retreat - and look what I got!

And, of course, congrats to the other awardees! The science in this department is top notch, and it shows! 🧠

The paper is out in journal format at EJN! We thank the reviewers for their insightful comments, and how they shaped the final form of this story. Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... As usual, it's open access! We're getting the data ready for sharing very soon 👀🧠🧪

This was so much fun today! So grateful for the opportunity to talk about my work, & to get to return to my beloved PDN!!

We're on our way to UKSN! Our very own @emily-winson.bsky.social is speaking today in the physiology session, and will bring some fresh-out-of-the oven data! 👀🧠

Olfaction geeks, come to Cambridge next month for a 30yrs old cross-disciplinary smell chat from philosophy to clinics to circuits 🧠👃 Headliner @dattalab.bsky.social on his lab's brand new olfactory maps study Networking lunches, fancy College dinner, student discount, plenty of coffee. Go register!

Prof @grubblabneuro.bsky.social adds to the compelling case set by previous speakers: Open Science = Better Science (for the community and for YOU!) ✅ Data sharing improves accessibility, reproducibility & collaboration ❌ But it’s often effortful & time-consuming #IoPPNFestival

‪Open Research Award winner Professor @grubblabneuro.bsky.social speaks on the benefits of making science as open as possible, and tips and tricks to make the process smoother. #IoPPNFestival‬

The master @grubblabneuro.bsky.social at the rig! Thanks so much @victoria-swi.bsky.social for showing us how to patch OSNs, and for unveiling my absolute lack of brain plasticity when it comes to using an ephys setup that is not mine 😆

Matt will be speaking about data sharing and open science practices at this year’s @kingsioppn.bsky.social IoPPN Research Festival! www.kcl.ac.uk/events/ioppn...

We are IN-PERSON in London next week for the #IoPPNfestival, sharing transformative research from @kingsioppn.bsky.social Join @saakshikakar.bsky.social using the #IoPPNfestival hashtag from 2 pm on Wednesday, 14th May! THREAD

Watch this space for more on the #IoPPNfestival and share your thoughts! @julietfoster.bsky.social @devinterhune.bsky.social @uwedrescher11.bsky.social @sianoram.bsky.social @grubblabneuro.bsky.social @denklab.bsky.social

Eventually, the office’s door will become a Faraday cage ⚡️🤪

@neuroversepod.bsky.social is one of my fav podcasts. It's super exciting to have been at the other side in this episode! I talk about how I'm navigating my postdoc and academic life, and some tips for PhDs who are planning their next steps. Link below 👇🏼 🧠🔬🧪 open.spotify.com/episode/1677...

Hey #NeuroSky, has anyone used a MAP2 antibody that successfully labels the soma on mouse brain slices? We've tried one but it stains only the dendrites. Any advice will be useful! 🧠🧪

Our paper is now in the shape of a reviewed preprint on eLife @elife.bsky.social, with the reviewers' comments on full display. We plan to address these in the upcoming weeks/months, but so far I'm a big fan of this publishing model! elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Thank you everyone for coming to our data sharing workshop, we loved it all! The talks, the questions, the interactions, the snacks... We hope you learnt about open science practices as much as we did! 😊 À la prochaine!

We’re starting! 🧠🧪

There's still time to register for our data sharing workshop! Info and link below 👇🏻

If you’re interested in finding out how to share your research data (and why it matters!), @grubblabneuro.bsky.social will be holding a free workshop on 10th February. See thread below👇 for more info and registration link!

Ever wondered how to share research data but didn’t know where to start? Join us for an informal and open workshop where we’ll break down the how and why of data sharing.

'Universities have warned of significant financial concerns as a result of frozen domestic tuition fees and a decline in overseas students following the policy changes.' www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Spotlight: Ever noticed that food loses flavor when you have a cold. What's up with that? Your perception of flavor is not one sense. It is a mixing of taste, smell and chemosensation. Read about it in Ch8 Chemical Senses by Joe Zak & @jakesaunders.bsky.social tinyurl.com/itobnch8 #neuroscience

Save the date! We're organising a workshop on Data Sharing on the 10th of February at Guy's Campus (KCL)! All you need to know to make your datasets open to the public + engaging in open science practices. More details to come soon — stay tuned!

Have you read Candida's preprint yet?

Excited to share our latest findings, now published @NatureNeuro www.nature.com/articles/s41... We found unmyelinated axons exhibit pearls-on-a-string morphology's due to their membrane mechanical properties. Threads will follow!

⭐ Word of the week: "nanopearling". ⭐ Is the "pearls-on-a-string" morphology in unmyelinated nerve fibres physiological or pathological? 🧪🧠 #neuroskyence www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We have *another* preprint! This work was led by the amazing Candida Tufo, ex-PhD student in the lab. We show that adult-born dopaminergic cells in the olfactory bulb rapidly functionally resemble their pre-existing counterparts! Have a look at the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/
