Can’t wait to use this!
Developmental Common Coordinate Framework (DevCCF) for developing mouse brain atlases is out. nature.com/articles/s4146… It features MRI and light-sheet co-registered templates and 3D anatomical labels based on developmental ontology from embryonic to adult ages
We're recruiting postdocs/researchers/lab manager/technicians, doing high-resolution whole brain mapping, atlasing, neural recording, behavioral tracking, vascular mapping, etc. indeed.com/job/postdoctor…, indeed.com/job/research-t…
I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs. Plant, Bacterial, Archaeal Bioeng Custom Lab Hardware Turn Key Genetic Design Please RT 💚
We have a fully-funded Postdoctoral Fellow position open in somatosensation development!!! I'm committed to supporting and mentoring all trainees in my lab. Please help me retweet this opportunity. :) jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/663050/pos…
Happy Halloween! 👻
Who knew science could be so hauntingly beautiful? Check out this confocal microscopy image where a 12 μm cryosection from the head of an early chicken embryo forms a ghostly face. The image has been provided by Ádám Soós of @semmelweishu. Happy #Halloween!

Americans with student loans are out here begging people to listen because we are spending DECADES paying on these loans, but the balances never move. I have paid my entire loan balance from 2006 + $10,000, & I still owe more than the original loan. THIS IS CALLED USURY, & it is…
Still looking for a postdoc with systems neuroscience skills; in vivo activity recording and manipulation with specific behavioral tasks. NIH funded position available. Please email me. kimlab.io

She’s one of the greats !
So honored to receive this year’s Ajinomoto award from Achems! I owe a debt of gratitude to my amazing research group, past and present, collaborators, and mentors 😊
When people ask how long it’s gonna take me to finish writing my paper
#FluorescenceFriday ft the brand new Nikon SoRa in the @VUCellImaging core!
Here's the thing about AI in biology: it absolutely has revolutionary potential, but any model is only as good as the data it's trained on. And there's a lot we don't know or are simply wrong about in bio. Want to truly build AI for bio? Invest in basic discovery science.
🚨Hey PIs ‼️ 👇🏼 this badass scientist is on the post-doc market … she’s got the ideas, NIH funding, skills in opto/chemogenetics, photometry, viral circuit tracing, operant behavior (pain/motivation/affect), FISH/IHC, molecular, great mentor/colleague to students/lab mates

Come do cool neuroscience with me at @WarwickLifeSci! I am looking for a senior research technician to join my new group. We'll be doing cool behaviour, optogenetics, viral tracing, cardiovascular monitoring in mice! 🧠👩🔬🐭 Details here: tinyurl.com/4jsun26j
Martha Stewart is looking 🔥🔥🔥 @SInow @MarthaStewart

Nick Gilbert always brings the right vibe 😎 RIP to a legend. I work with the Gilbert Family Foundation for research on developmental neurobiology, but also grew up in northern Ohio, rooting for the Cleveland teams (even the Browns at their worst). Sincere condolences 😔
RIP Nick Gilbert, the legend. This one hurts. 🙏
Can’t wait !
Please register your interest and mark your calendars, this is gonna be good! Meeting agenda available soon. This is an all-online event! Neural Plasticity in Energy Homeostasis and Obesity | 2023 niddk.nih.gov/news/meetings-… via @NIDDKgov
