The effect of time of day on exam pass rate in this study is quite dramatic. Consider that Edexcel runs some UK international exams as early as 7:30 a.m., which is even outside the range plotted in this study!

Does anyone have recommendations for neuroscience books or other non-fiction available on Audible? I enjoyed listening to Elusive Cures (read by the author @nicolecrust.bsky.social) and Innate (from @wiringthebrain.bsky.social), and I was wondering what other good audiobooks are out there?

I'm enjoying revisiting Marina Herlop's 2022 Pripyat LP. Here is the gorgeous opening track Abans Abans with a video featuring snails, stalactites and alpacas and her unique approach to vocals and piano. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3_t...

RIP Brian Wilson (1942-2025), one of the greatest innovators who helped build popular music into an enduring art form, and a kind and humble person. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S22a...

It took us many years to improve idtracker.ai in both accuracy and tracking time. Here it is.

If you're planning a course with mathematical methods content, or use such methods in your own work, please take a look at "Mathematics in Biology", by Meister, Lee, and Portugues, published at MIT Press. 1/2 @portugueslab.bsky.social mitpress.mit.edu/978026204940...

Greatly deserved! Congratulations!

Unforgettable trip to Lisbon! Packed with amazing food, wine, science, art, sightseeing, and a healthy dose of exercise! Huge thanks to my hosts @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social at Champalimaud and Razmik Panossian at the Gulbenkian Foundation for the warm welcome.

The latest paper from the Chiappe lab is out!! Congrats @merterginkaya.bsky.social and everyone involved - now you definitely have to come visit Lisbon so we can celebrate!🥳 @champalimaudr.bsky.social

It is hard to imagine a more prescient compilation than 1992's Artificial Intelligence, not just in terms of the careers of the contributing artists, but how the featured sounds have permeated popular culture over the last 30 years.

A beautifully curated resource for zebrafish research enabled by NIH funding.

Guinness WR is claiming a new record for the most digits of pi recalled in one minute at 280 (www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-record...). Congratulations - however, it might need an update, as here is a video of Owen reciting 350: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL-j... @guinnessworldrecords.com

In light of the attack on protections for children with disabilities, I share this chart I made of the amount of attention given to this topic (which should be a winning one for any party) by 2020 presidential candidates.

Glad to see Champalimaud official accounts joining Bluesky, where the science is! Please give them a follow! @champalimaudr.bsky.social @champalimaudf.bsky.social

This looks awesome! I hope people will use it in combination with @adrienjouary.bsky.social 's megabouts.ai, which can lower the time resolution needed for bout identification, helping to enable low cost experimental set-ups.

Credit where credit is due: I discovered this in Portugal.

Scared to share this after 10 freaking years of waiting, but here we go: We found that temperature *perception* can change the biology of the next generations, even when “it’s just in the parents' head”. Read how C. elegans neurons control epigenetic inheritance! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Every day until the end of the year, I'll post some music I enjoyed this year. 1. Crawl. From an amazing EP by Djrum (djrum.bandcamp.com/music). Beautiful, wandering electronic composition. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U8Z...

Would you like to see @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social add a share to blue sky button?! I know I would! Share this post to let @richardsever.bsky.social @erictopol.bsky.social and others at bioarxiv know!

Our latest study is out now on BioRXiv! Led by @annahobbiss.bsky.social, in collaboration with @moitalab.bsky.social, we found that there's more to fly freezing behaviour than meets the eye. Don't forget to watch the videos 😎

Really excited to launch the megabouts.ai project from @adrienjouary.bsky.social. The era of large-scale behavioral data brings with it the challenge of how to integrate and compare data acquired using diverse set-ups and tracking approaches. (1/n)
