🔬Career opportunity - PhD studentship, Nottingham Trent University, UK Identification and spatial brain mapping of novel candidate metabolic rate genes Supervisors: Nik Morton @morton_nik and Rebecca Dumbell @rebeccyannie APPLY by 13.9.24: ntu.ac.uk/study-and-cour…

Yet another fully-funded PhD position is available in our team - and international students are welcome! findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

PhD project alert! Come study stress circuits with me @uniofwarwick (funded by @MIBTP_BBSRC) . We'll be doing chemo- and optogenetics, in vivo calcium imaging, patch-clamp electrophysiology and a lot of mouse behaviour! Details here: warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/… Please share!

We’re building a new center @SinaiBrain to understand the neural computations that drive behavior. Join us at this exciting hub for discovery in the heart of NYC! 🧠

Abusive bosses don't drive performance. They undermine it. 471 studies, 149k people, 36 countries: in aggressive workplaces, we do poorer work, collaborate less, and shirk more. Incivility breaks confidence and breeds resentment. The best way to get results is to show respect.

We are seeking an experienced metabolomics scientist to lead our metabolomics platform at @Metabolcenter in Copenhagen.

Want to do a PhD to study how appetite and body weight are regulated by the brain? Join our team ! @IMS_MRL @Cambridge_Uni Applications are now open Check it out and get in touch if you have questions ! postgraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/direct…

JOB ALERT! Join our growing team @BristolUni to study autonomic regulation of coronary blood flow in health and disease. You will be part of a vibrant collaborative community between @UoBPPN and @Brms_Research

Postdoc Opportunity - focused on sensory nutrition/obesity to discover how olfactory processes drive metabolic balance using patch-clamp ephys, opto/chemo genetics, CRISPR, fos TRAP, mouse models; purposeful mentoring & career building @FSUNeuroscience neurojobs.sfn.org/job/38007/post…

Read about the latest circuit tools for studying neuromodulator & neuropeptide signaling in vivo! We describe the use of neurochemical sensors, actuators, and probes in our lab’s first Review @ScienceMagazine tinyurl.com/4mcfb24w Congrats @jessie_muir & @LatinaNeuroNerd!

Fantastic panel with @GwynneMP talking about the power of prevention to improve health and the economy. One of the standout stats is that 40% (on track to reach 60%) of NHS currrent spend is on tackling preventable illness too late. #Lab24

My PhD paper is out! We imaged gut neuron activity in living, eating flies (first time in history!), and found a Gut-Brain-Gut neural circuit loop that allows fruit flies to adjust their ingestion bouts based on the sucrose concentration of the food! (1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Astrocyte friends: I’m in need of advice. I’m looking for a good astrocyte antibody and a tamoxifen-Inducible Cre driver line for hippocampal astrocytes. What would you recommend?

Be mindful about axon collateralization! We have changed some experimental strategies based on this discovery. Proud to have the cover image for this journal issue and also a “Featured Article” designation! Happy times. jneurosci.org/content/44/31/…

It used to bother me so much when my PI would aimlessly wander into lab for no real reason But here I am. Taking a stroll amongst the students just bec I got a little bored in my office

Depletion of colonic endocrine cells reveals a gut–brain axis, that regulates host metabolism and body weight in mice @NatMetabolism nature.com/articles/s4225… #microbiota #weightloss

***Funded PhD Opportunity*** PhD studentship available as part of my upcoming #UKRI_FLF project looking at changes in appetite, energy intake, and energy expenditure during weight loss. Deadline is 31st May, 2024. Please RT and share! findaphd.com/phds/project/t…

I did a podcast thing with @EllieRaffan @GOdogsProject for @guardian #obesity #genetics #labrador #obesityisnotachoice theguardian.com/science/audio/…

Targeting gut endocrine cells is a logical yet challenging therapeutic target with small molecule GLP1RAs looming. Here the team @CamMetaboNet uses chemogentics to link K cells to reduction of food intake @MolMetab sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #weightloss

What does everyone do when the grant they were awarded is no longer enough to cover the price of equipment because of inflation? Clearly I've missed a trick, but the application asked for quotes, so I've only costed the price at time of submission. Small grant, no wiggle room.
