Our article “Prelimbic cortical excitatory overdrive and inhibitory underdrive accompany environmental suppression of food seeking” recently came out on @‪npp-journal.bsky.social‬. tinyurl.com/5xpd9ay5 Want to learn more? The thread is below: 1/n‬‬‬

I’m so sad to leave the granite city and my favourite person, I had the best time 🥰 see you soon in the South

How does environmental enrichment affect food seeking? We show reduced cue evoked food seeking following just 24hrs of EE accompanied by cell type specific alterations in the mPFC as well as important contributions of a sucrose cue ensemble #fridayscience doi.org/10.1038/s413...

And Kiltwalk Aberdeen 2025 is done ! 29km/18miles in 5h16. Such fun with @katepeters3.bsky.social

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday 📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

It was great to present my work today at the Rowett institute, University of Aberdeen. Really enjoyed science chat and questions. Thanks so much @fabnaneix.bsky.social for inviting me and for bolstering great collaboration opportunities

it was a very exciting and successful symposium at @britishneuro.bsky.social (but sad I forgot to take more pictures including one with the 4 of us). Thank you @katepeters3.bsky.social @shaunaparkes.bsky.social and @macaskillaf.bsky.social for the wonderful talks ❤️

@womeninneurouk.bsky.social seriously cool symposium at #BNA2025 from Women in Neuroscience discussing sex and gender disparities in neuroscience and beyond. Favourite talk so far on differences in injury mechanisms for female rugby players 🤯

Happy to kick off BNA in Liverpool with our session on motivation and reward pursuit with @fabnaneix.bsky.social @shaunaparkes.bsky.social @macaskillaf.bsky.social #bna25 @britishneuro.bsky.social

Excited to be joining the Rowett for the month to work on an exciting collaborative project with @fabnaneix.bsky.social hit the jackpot with the weather too !

Any donations no matter how small would really help us reach our target to support the life saving work of the RNLI and their dedicated volunteers (you can donate from any country, you don’t need to be in the UK)

🐁🌎On #WorldRatDay, we recognize the vital role of rats in biomedical research. They help scientists study diseases like cancer and neurological disorders, leading to medical advances for humans and animals #AnimalResearch

We are looking to hire a Senior Scientist or #Postdoc to study brains, biophysics, and behaviour using #Drosophila as a model. Please spread the word! www.medunigraz.at/en/job-openi...

This year @katepeters3.bsky.social and myself are doing the Aberdeen's KiltWalk thekiltwalk.co.uk/events/aberd... on 01/06. We are raising money for the RLNI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) so please do not hesitate to support us if you wish. 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ www.justgiving.com/team/frog-ro...

Do you know someone who could benefit from career or life coaching? As past of my training, I can now offer coaching for the mere price of a charitable donation ☺️. My specialisations are academia, career change and international mobility. Contact me for more information.

Some really great projects recruiting PhD students for EASTBIO, if you are looking for a PhD and are interested in adolescence, food choice, motivation, reward and the brain then take a look ⬇️⬇️⬇️

My lab University College London is looking for an experimental postdoc to join our team. Interested in circuits underlying visually guided behavior, chronic #Neuropixel recordings or 2-photon imaging (Benchtop, #Mini2p)? Then check out our lab homepage www.ruedigerlab.com, apply & spread the word

Women in Academia — “The academic structure ... with its relentless relocations, temporary contracts, and focus on individual achievement, makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury.”

A huge pleasure to repost this announcement - over 40 students have graduated from our fantastic @sussexneuro.bsky.social PhD programme, and each year brings new perspectives and opportunities for both the new joiners and ourselves as their hosts. Do consider applying!

Mix neuroscience with the seaside! 4 year PhD programme on the UK's south coast at the University of Sussex. Fantastic community of excellent researchers across the neuro field. Apply now. Please RT.

As we revealed on Monday, Labour is adopting the Tories' £100m levy on gambling firms to fund gambling harm services. Half goes to NHS. £5/£2 online slots limit also going ahead. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Join us at #BNA2025 in Liverpool in April 25 by registering/submitting your abstract now. Very glad our symposium on "Motivation and reward pursuit - from cues to adaptative decision making" with @katepeters3.bsky.social, @shaunaparkes.bsky.social and @macaskillaf.bsky.social has been accepted. 🧠

A re-intro for any new faces over here. I'm an early career fellow at University of Sussex. A neuroscientist interested in dopamine, motivated behaviours, feeding and cannabinoids. Outside of science I do marathons for fun, I love autumn and cats .

My lab in Aberdeen, in the stunning North East of Scotland, will soon be recruiting for a post-doc to studying immune-ECM interactions in the lung. If you love IL-13, Hyaluronan, ECM biology, pulmonary immune responses....Get in touch and keep an eye out for the position.

Some quick immuno to verify fibre placements and then back to paper writing #neuroscience
