Cortical Development 2025 Sicily
@corticaldev2025
8th cortical development meeting in Sicily. Come join the fun!
Excited to confirm that Cortical Development Conference 2025 is on for May 25th to May 28th. Registration and Abstract submisson are open! Register now at: corticaldevelopment.wordpress.com
Meetings are such a special place to grow and connect. Here is just one example of why.
Meta of science pt 51: Attended a GRC power hour today focused on DEI issues. Hearing the voices of so many young passionate scientists reminds me that we are people with many opinions and differences but a shared love of science. Privileged to be part of the broader community.
Cortical Development 2025 is moving to Bluesky. Look for us there @corticodevelopment.bsky.social
Ever considered applying for a Mcknight scholarship but need to know more? It is amazing society and open to the broadest neuroscientists out there ! urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https…
Here is the schedule for the upcoming cortical development meeting. 14 open short talk slots to be filled by the best posters!

Extracellular vesicle-mediated trafficking of molecular cues during human brain development - congratulations Silvia @silvianeurompi and the all team 🥳 cell.com/cell-reports/f…
A picture of the fabulous group of scientists who will be speakers at this meeting! If you work on Cortex, you should come! x.com/ZoltanMolnar64…
Please hold the date for the next CORTICAL DEVELOPMENT MEETING in Giardini Naxos, Sicily, Italy - May 25-28, 2025 @corticaldev2022 @Kriegsteinlab @GordFishell @FloraVaccarino
The next cortical development will be in Naxos Sicily May 25th-28th 2005. The registration will be up shortly and this meeting is being co-hosted by @GordFishell @Kriegsteinlab @FloraVaccarino @ZoltanMolnar64 Don't miss it!!

Registration is about to start and the 20 key speakers have been chosen! 14 additional speakers will be chosen from the abstracts! Come join us in Naxos!

Congratulations to one of developmental neurobiology's very best!
A big shout out to my close friend Zoltan on his induction to the royal society of biology! Well done, and much deserved
VI #Cajal_Week at the @ranm_es: Someone better than #ÓscarMarín (@MarinLab @dev_neuro @Cajalclub @royalsociety @FENSorg ) to commemorate the founder of modern #Neuroscience? #Cajal & #LorentedeNó. At Oscar's hometown, @MADRID / @ComunidadMadrid #AñoCAJAL. #MuseoCajalyEscuela_YA
So sorry to lose Chuck. He was a dear friend and a complete original!
Very sad news. Chuck was one of the brightest minds in synaptic transmission.
Such a kind and brillant man! He will be so missed, by me personally and by generations of scientists who deeply admired him!
Very sad news. Chuck was one of the brightest minds in synaptic transmission.
Really exciting new work by @JJSherryWU and @ekfishy !!
Check out our new biorxiv paper led by @JJSherryWU and @ekfishy targeting the breadth of cortical somatostatin cells and showing their remarkably selective circuitry. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
A really terrific opportunity to straddle two key fields: neuro- and chromatin biology. All you RAs go jumpstart your careers!
Want to examine chromatin in neurons to help create AAV tools targeting specific neuron subtypes? A great opportunity to learn molecular neuroscience in my lab at the Broad. Previous RAs all end up in distinguished graduate/med school. tinyurl.com/nhfw8jf5 Drop us a note!
Meta of science pt XXXXX: In case you have been counting, this is my 50th tweet on this subject, I think it is time to pause. Take home- simple. Labs work well when ambition and drive are combined with a thoughtful and caring environment. Provide that -good things will follow.
Meta of science pt XXXXVIX: in mid-project there comes a moment where it feels like we have a ton of data and none of it makes sense. Buckling down and looking at the findings makes all the difference.
Meta of science pt XXXXVIII: It often seems certain ideas emerge in multiple places simultaneously. Two I have been involved with are radial glia as stem cells and more recently microglia/neuronal interactions being specific rather than generic. Keep your ear to the ground!
