Not pictured: me!

Because I was busy running back to the lab for an experiment. 🤦🏼‍♂️But an exciting first day & I look forward to the rest of the week ahead!

[RIKEN Center for Brain Science @RIKEN_CBS]

CBS Summer Program 2025 has started from today!
Young neuroscientists from all over the world enthusiastically attend lectures given by eminent professors, and discussions are actively taking place here and there!

✨ Announcing a new glutamate indicator - iGluSnFR4! ✨

Launched as a pair, iGLuSnFR4s and iGluSnFR4f have high-sensitivity and fast activation/deactivation for recording synapses.

More on the indicators and what they are already revealing: https://t.co/MYJfbQQmAL

I’m very honoured to have been selected to participate in the 2025 RIKEN CBS Summer Program.

June cannot come fast enough! 🙌🏻

[RIKEN Center for Brain Science @RIKEN_CBS]

Thank you to everyone who applied to the RIKEN CBS Summer Program 2025 #cbs_summer — and big congratulations to those selected!
You are all rising stars in #neuroscience, and we can't wait to welcome you this summer!

Sharing my exciting academic insights with my non-academic friends

[Kording Lab 🦖 @KordingLab]

Announcing a new week-long program for young computational neuroscience/ behavior professors to talk about rigorous science, mentoring, lab management, and networking in a stunning retreat setting. Do great science as a community and have fun doing so.

[Alejandro Montenegro @aemonten]

Yeah. Not good.

@natalie_matosin @domkaul Congratulations Dom, Natalie and the lab team! 💫

[Rafeeque @rafeequemavoor]

Free scientific illustrations for biologists! 😍

@NIH has released a library of 500+ free scientific illustrations to create figures, presentations, and illustrations!

all freely available in the public domain.

Retweet and spread the message!

New work from our lab out now in @NatureComms! A similarly sized marsupial takes 3x longer to develop than a mouse, but do all cortical neurodevelopmental processes temporally scale to different timeframe uniformly? No! 🦘👩‍🔬🧠🔬https://t.co/mo1uc5fnQm

“Modulation of the presynapse by neuroligins in the cortex” - presenting this work meant the world to me. Thank you so much @TheGordonLab for all the support 🫶

One of my favorite @nature covers for this week’s issue

[Riki Dingwall @DingwallRiki]

@dr_alphalyrae @bitsinbio Am I able to get an invite? None of the current links work or me :(

[Stan Floresco @dr_stan]

Emma Burrows now discussing deficits in neuroligin mutants (autism model). Uses HEROIC training to get mice to do voluntary head fixing on endo - vs - exogenous attention orienting. Ritalin disrupts exogenous orienting in mutant mice, but improved endogenous orienting in all mice

@CameronWoodard Congratulations, Cameron!

[Riki Dingwall @DingwallRiki]

@heyyitsdidi @sci_rock Out of curiosity, what issues in particular do you think have been poorly communicated to the public? I personally can't think of a topic more broadly and well covered, especially recently, than vaccines and immunization.

[Riki Dingwall @DingwallRiki]

@heyyitsdidi @sci_rock Respectfully disagree. Most scientists work on tiny scopes within a much broader issue. Bombarding the public with minute details from papers intended for discussion amongst fellow scientists, and not the general public, is only likely to muddy their understanding. (1)
