A crucial reminder: primate research is still (and will be for the foreseeable future) key to progress in #neuroscience . These concerns from US researchers show how easily vital work can be held back without evidence-based policies. 1/2

Exciting progress in #neuroscience, brought to you by and crucially depending on a combination of scientific methods, including #animalresearch with #primates. 👇

Good morning, #neuronerds and welcome to #SfN25! From high-level lectures to detailed posters, get ready for a week of discovery, collaboration, and inspiration.

AI has come an enormous way since the early days... Amazing precision and scholarly knowledge. GoaLPleation for one is just around the corner in neuroscience research 😱 #neuroskyence

Great news: The #LOEWE Center Frankfurt Cancer Institute @goetheuni.bsky.social will continue to receive funding from the state of Hesse! 🎉 12 mio € for two more years – a strong signal for the importance of #translational #cancer #research in Frankfurt. Thank you Hesse and everyone involved!!

#EARA2025 has come to an end. Thank you to everyone who was part of these two wonderful days of enriching discussion. We can’t wait to meet you at #EARA2027, in Lisbon.

Die @eara.eu Konferenz startet! Die europäische Dachorganisation für Kommunikation zum Thema Tierversuche hat @mdc-berlin.bsky.social als Venue ausgesucht und bringt damit die internationale Community nach #Berlin. Spannender Austausch!

Endlich ist es soweit! 🎉 Die 5. Staffel unseres Podcasts 🎧 "Fabeln, Fell und Fakten" gestartet: In Folge 1 sprechen Johannes & Roman in eigener Sache: Was ist eigentlich "Tierversuche verstehen"? Zu Gast ist @stefantreue.bsky.social Sprecher der Initiative: www.tierversuche-verstehen.de/3f-podcast/

Heute ist Tag des Tierpflegers- ein großes Dankeschön an über 40 engagierte Kolleg*innen am Deutschen Primatenzentrum! 💚 Neben der täglichen Versorgung bringen sie immer wieder handwerkliches Geschick und neue Ideen ein, etwa beim Bau der Tipis. 🛖🐒 Schaut selbst: youtube.com/shorts/tt7Oq...

Yesterday, about 30 researchers from Göttingen’s four Max Planck Institutes swapped labs for classrooms at #MaxPlanckGoesToSchool. From animal welfare to AI & space tech, students got a glimpse of frontier research. Thanks to all – see you in 2026! 🧑‍🏫🔬 @mpsgoettingen.bsky.social @mpimmg.bsky.social

We need fundamental research to discover fundamental processes and capabilities in nature and finally also to understand our own brains. This type of research is important not because these particular animal mimic the human brain so closely, but because they don't.

Science is real

Super excited to share this new collaborative work - marmosets use diverse and highly flexible strategies when they cooperate. These strategies are powerfully determined by both social factors (sex, dominance, familiarity) & individual partner identity. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Thank you everyone for making SimCo 2025 such a wonderful experience. Your compassion, creativity, science and community make us strong. Ad Astra!

Some scientists haven't yet internalized the "why" behind science writing for the public - not just as a service, but for themselves. (I didn't always get it). In this piece for @natrevneuro.nature.com, I draw on the neuroscience of curiosity & decision making to unpack its value. rdcu.be/eCGr7
