Wonderful opportunity in Vienna 🐟 #ZebrafishJobs 🔗: ccri.at/working-at-t...

NoA day! Grateful and excited to report that our research will continue to be supported by an R01 from NINDS.

Excited to share the published version of MIC-Drop-seq @natcomms.nature.com! Shoutout to co-lead authors @claycarey.bsky.social @sparvez.bsky.social for driving this work. Excited to see where this new scale of single-cell perturbation screening goes next. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy Memorial day weekend on.soundcloud.com/mOZeHeDx9uMx...

Support a great cause. Spread the shrimp gospel. Everyone wins.

We just got approved to hire a teaching professor in Quantitative Methods! This is the *very* rare tenure track teaching position at Berkeley. I'll be chairing the search committee. Official job ad coming later this summer!

We're hiring a postdoc to develop and use custom optical instruments for measuring and manipulating neural activity in worms and flies. Please apply via interfolio: apply.interfolio.com/186001

At some point we have forgotten that there must be a social contract and we as reviewers, readers and colleagues expect a bare minimum, default of truthfulness, correctness and collegiality. Otherwise, we're not doing science anymore 🧪

New preprint from my lab! Will Anderson developed a transgenic #zebrafish ubiquitously expressing an optogenetic FGF/ERK activator. We're having a lot of fun with it and think you will too! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New preprint from the lab, led by Bradley Cutler. With the @james-gagnon.bsky.social lab we use zebrafish to show that fever is not a reduction in the perception of warmth. Immune signals instead increase the valence of warming stimuli while cooling turns aversive. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

bump for visibility!

Here’s our latest preprint on uncovering neural control of a coordinated walking pattern! doi.org/10.64898/202... (author-list jumbled, see pdf for corrected). Video shows the central paradigm in this study, we optogenetically induce walking in headless flies and sequentially reduce proprioception.

🧪 1/ New preprint from the lab: L5 pyramidal cell tLTD requires astrocyte Ca2+ and CB1 signaling www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We revisit a classic STDP result in visual cortex

But there is more - phenotypes! inbreeding! pretty pictures! Read the full paper here at @devdynamics.bsky.social - anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Pls share: A postdoctoral researcher position is available in the Scharf lab in the Department of Biological Sciences at Virginia Tech to study motility and chemotaxis in the symbiotic soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti. jobs.apply.vt.edu/jobs/postdoc...

Hey @natureportfolio.nature.com is this some sort of joke?? Please act ASAP. This is an abomination! 👇How the hell did this ever pass peer review, editorial processes??? doi.org/10.1038/s415...

This is so, so well-articulated.

We are so looking forward to CSHL Neurobiology of Drosophila 2026 🔬 🧠. The new application deadline is April 13th. Come join us! @cshlnews.bsky.social @cshlcourses.bsky.social @rister.bsky.social

As a reminder: I am hiring a postdoc and at least one research assistant for a project on VTA circuits and cognitive function that starts this summer. Get in touch if interested!

Our R25 otolaryngology research training program is now accepting applications from med students. Link to application is on the website. Please share! www.hopkinsmedicine.org/otolaryngolo...

Tiny, transparent, and now charted! Our brain atlas of adult Danionella cerebrum includes >200 annotated regions, 29 whole-brain in situs, and male/female reference volumes – openly available, versioned and extendable. Work by @nkadobyansky.bsky.social and team. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New paper out : "Synchronization of behavioral and cardiac dynamics in larval zebrafish" Here, we report a pretty striking relationship between behavioral state and heart rate in larval zebrafish, and then explore the mechanisms that lead to this coupling bit.ly/4ciYt3R

We have a postdoc position available. Please forward to anyone who may be interested.

I honestly like this comment both in and out of context 😂

Latest from the lab, led by @ara-donia.bsky.social and @juliavdkorput.bsky.social Huge team effort, with immense contributions by friends from nearby and around the globe. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Behavioral biases drift in individuals. • Drift happens on many timescales • Drift rate depends on genetics and neuromodulators • It might be adaptive for rapidly changing environments elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

First joint work between @jameslightfoot.bsky.social and my lab is now published! Machine-learning, aggression, genetics, beautiful fluorescent transgenics and evolution! You can find it all!

The second paper from the lab is now available on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We discovered that cannibalistic behavior in fly larvae is social-context dependent. Larval groups avoid dead conspecifics; individuals show high attraction. They only do it when no one is watching 😉

Don't miss out. Apply to our 2026 Advanced Research Training Courses today!

Join the Reck-Peterson lab in NYC as a HHMI Research Technician! This role will support our new work on the cell biology of secondary metabolite production in filamentous fungi. Apply here: hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

For those that knew Adam ❤️

🚨Job Alert plz RT! Johns Hopkins Psych & Brain Sciences is looking for a new colleague using behavioral or computational approaches to study cognition! We are excited about many areas of (esp higher) cognition in human adults, children, or nonhuman animals Open-rank apply.interfolio.com/178146

Thrilled to share our new paper! With @tomtom-auer.bsky.social team, we asked how #evolution reshapes what animals #eat to match their ecological niches. Using pan-neuronal Ca2+ imaging, we show that the changes are in how the brain processes #taste. Link @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

(1/n) We are excited to share our new paper in Nature Communications, by Hagar Lavian (@hlavian.bsky.social) and team, revealing how the zebrafish brain integrates visual navigation signals! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you are looking for a postdoc with interests in animal cognition and behavior, be sure to talk to Jieyu Zheng: you won't regret it!

Probably one of my favorite errors:

PLEASE SHARE 🚨🚨 6-month RA position available at the Univ. of St Andrews to work with Sue Healy (@cogwild.bsky.social), Simone Meddle (@simonemeddle.bsky.social) and I on the behavioural neuroendocrinology of early reproduction in zebra finches. tinyurl.com/577cx9tj Deadline: 03/12/2025 ⬇️
