Leuk artikel in de NRC over hoe grondeekhoorns een prachtig dier model zijn. Comparative Neuroscience FTW :)

Such fun and a real privilege to write this Journal Club article in @natrevneuro.nature.com. Introducing a fascinating creature and what it teaches us about behavioural coordination rdcu.be/eZnKn

Yes! Totally agree - we need more comparative studies in mus species to understand variation in social behavior. This is a good start.

Very happy to share an expansion to the comparative gene editing toolkit: AAVs to reduce dopamine receptor levels that are functional in many rodent species. Fun collaboration with @malu-murugan.bsky.social, Elliott Albers and Frank Meye.

My bicycle commute makes me want to go to work - even on Saturday @achucarro.bsky.social

Today is the 145th anniversary of the birth of Nicolas Achucarro Lund. In 2012 we launched Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience, centred in the study of #glialcells in #health and #disease to honour his legacy.

Such a pleasure to collaborate with @briantrainor.bsky.social They used comparative gene editing in California mice - check it out!

Post a photo you took with no context to bring some zen to the timeline.

Today marks my first day @achucarro.bsky.social. Very excited to start my own lab in Comparative Neuroscience. Stay tuned for more!

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

The European federation of Academies of Sciences has posted a statement of concern about the developments in the US. They now have added the option to endorse this statement as an organisation. Would be great if this could go viral. allea.org/portfolio-it...

🧪For NIH folks looking for what to do next: my department, UD Psych & Brain sciences, is searching for a new chair. Stay in the Mid-Atlantic, start date this year! Please help us get the word out 🧪

@sbn-bsky.bsky.social has released a statement on current events. SBN DEI comm, of which I'm chair, wrote this statement to be people-first focused on the human impacts. I want to thank Peg McCarthy & the Exec Comm in quickly approving the document w/ few edits. This is why SBN is my "home" society.

Hey ATL, it’s time to show up for science this Monday! #50501 #ATL #CDC #NIH

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This account is for sharing info with US scientists, both extramural and intramural to NIH, about attacks on science in the US. Education is power, and we can help advocate for science and medicine together. 💪🧪 We are a team of NIH people. Please ask us questions you might have.

🎨 In case anyone need… The NIH BioArt Source is an awesome library of *free* professionally drawn illustrations for scientific presentations or figures. Downloadable in HD. Thank you NIH for this invaluable tool 🙏! Check it out 👇 bioart.niaid.nih.gov

go.bsky.app/Eaua5Jk my starter for neuroimmunology

Wow! So many new science friends. This is awesome!

I'll add another starter pack to the mix. This one on SOCIAL NEUROSCIENCE. Lots of great scientists on here already! go.bsky.app/DKzaRqU

And this too - a pack of people I think are particularly good at writing about science. go.bsky.app/7JATw7v

Doing some pre-SfN sightseeing. What a great city for cyclists. Also come learn what oxytocin signaling does to neural transcription today. Board SS20: 1-5pm. #neuroskyence
