Colleagues. I’m super excited about presenting at the Canadian 🇨🇦 Neuroscience meeting in May! How’s going and who wants to get together for a catch up? @canacn.bsky.social can-acn.org/meeting-2026/

Alright people, re-upping this on your feed. Space is limited so please register soon! www.neurosas.org/advanced-cou...

Friends and colleagues, please sign this petition to increase the MRFF allocation

Here’s awesome bit of technical work by PhD student Josh Davies in Paul Marshall’s lab at ANU. Proud to part of it. Sex differences run deep when you look at the brain with high resolution.

Excited to share our latest preprint: "SWARM: A Single-Molecule Workflow for High-Precision Profiling of RNA Modifications" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Led by Stefan Prodic #RNA #Epitranscriptomics #Nanopore 1/6

Another outstanding RNA meeting!

My perspective in @thetransmitter.bsky.social on why emotion research feels stuck and how we might move forward—by focusing on how the brain uses internal brain models to shape emotional processing across species. www.thetransmitter.org/emotion/why-...

We are looking for a postdoc to work on mechanisms of #RNA decay in cancer using #cryoEM with #nanobodies and #minibinders! Please RT

🧪 Interested in a Cutting-Edge Molecular Neuroscience Meeting at a dream location? Join us at the EMBO | COB Workshop on Axonal degeneration and regeneration, 18 – 22 October 2026, Onna-son, Okinawa, Japan meetings.embo.org/event/26-axo...

Here we go! 2026. the year I learn python and do my own dRNA analysis. Digging deep and glad to know @martinalexsmith.bsky.social, @michaelbclark.bsky.social, and all the other nanopore gurus in australia. @nanoporetech.com

This is a great read. Once again, RNA for the win.

Yet another fantastic discovery surrounding cell surface RNAs and cellular function. Congrats @raflynn5.bsky.social and colleagues!

RNASky! Wow this looks like a great opportunity to learn alot about RNA in the brain......

Check out our new manuscript describing the circuit-specific impact of 16p11.2, a chromosomal region linked to neurodevelopmental disorders! @UIowaNeuro @IowaNeuroPharm @Hawk_IDDRC www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@jasonsynaptic.bsky.social given the relationship between ARC and HSV-1, interesting finding, n'est-ce pas? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Vaults are incredibly interesting ribonucleoprotein complexes that are vital for cellular function.

Finishing 2025 on a high.

RNA therapeutics for the win.

Excited to share that this work is now published in its final form! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Keeps coming…… the US juggernaut. www.wsj.com/opinion/scie...

Solid.

RNA transfer or cell surface RNA, take your pick…. both are awesome. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

$600 million… that’s how to invest in discovery. like I said awhile ago, don’t count out US science just yet… astera.org/neuroscienti...

Intrigued. Will have to reexamine our circRNA translation data!

My good friend, colleague and mentor, @gavanm.bsky.social speaking truth about the Australian research landscape. Will @albomp.bsky.social listen, hear, and act? The money is there in the MRFF, we need to access it immediately. substack.com/@gavanmcnall...

Cool! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Announcing the 2026 edition of the EMBO workshop on RNA localization and local translation! This meeting will be held June 30 - July 4 near Porto, Portugal. Come for exciting updates in the field from both established investigators and trainees. See the link below for details!

Now we’re getting somewhere. direct analysis of acquisition vs extinction on the horizon.

Nowhere will this be more evident than in the brain…… www.nature.com/articles/d41...

ecDNA is super interesting.

The @sfn.org posts inundating my feed were awesome. Unfortunately, we are now back to the overwhelmingly boring political reposts. Wishing those posters could stay on X, bigger audience there anyhow.

Share your research at the next Canadian Neuroscience Meeting May 18-21, 2026 in Montreal! Calls for Parallel Symposia, Satellite Meetings, Poster Abstract and Travel & Professional Awards are now open - Don't miss these opportunities! can-acn.org/meeting-2026/

Don’t count US science out just yet. The largest economy on the planet will rebound in a very big way. It’s already correcting….. episteme.com

Cool paper on pseudoU and memory by former postdocs Wei Wei and Xiang Li. Proud to see where they have taken their science…. molecularbrain.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

We have strength across a wide range of neuroscience topics, including ageing and development, brain injury and repair, cognition and behavior, mental health, RNA science, etc.

To clarify, the QBI Director need not be focused on Dementia, this just happens to be one of the sites where the recruiter has posted….

Here’s the posting. Please reach out if you have any questions about the QBI or life in Brisbane. Director: Queensland Brain Institute www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/job/director...

The search for the next QBI Director continues. If interested, please touch base. Lots of new initiatives in play at QBI and there is substantial support for exceptional researchers with a bold vision.

I'll admit it! The suspense is killing me.

Understatement!

picosecond times scales for rna modifications….. imagine structure states are not far of this speed so riboswitchs must be wicked fast. x.com/j_a_c_s/stat...

RNome? Sad that politics won’t allow us to call it what it is.

Introns rule. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Looks like the right conditions for RNA structure function control inside neurons.

Future thinking.
