Well, a personal achievement nobody asked for: I might have dreamt for a lot of things I am doing today. But this is the biggest one thus far. To take my grandparents around in a new city, hand in hand. To quench their curiosity like they did mine as a child.

With Ed Cohen (Imperial College London) we are recruting 2 PhDs for a nice project called "Deciphering the functional architecture of neuronal proteins using 3D SMLM, artificial intelligence and robust statistics". More information here : https://t.co/ucSEZyU4Y7

[Daniel Choquet @daniel_choquet1]

Urgent: searching for candidates for a funded PhD to develop tools and study receptor trafficking and synaptic plasticity in brain slices using advanced super resolution tools and glutamate sensors. Send motivation, CV and a reco letter. Pls RT @iins_bordeaux @Neuro_Bordeaux

In the Venn diagram of results, my results never seem to overlap with sense

Absolutely delighted to have met @ardemp at Bordeaux Neurocampus today. Not everyday do you get to listen to someone who makes you ever more enthusiastic to do your science. Thanks for your time!

[Ardem Patapoutian @ardemp]

My first seminar as an ambassador/fellow of @CNRS was very enjoyable. I love how @iins_bordeaux focuses on neuroscience from single molecules to behavior. I especially enjoyed chatting with the enthusiastic students at lunch.

Me every time I start a new experiment

[Meera Chandra @MeeraChandra01]

haven't been around here much, but this needed to be here. i just finished my first entire electrophysiology experiment. the achievement is that it was without crying or booking for the rage room after!

@_neuronhub they're not really easy to get rid of, I managed after some bribery🙊

Hi all, if you are thinking about applying for an ERC Starting Grant we are organizing this workshop starting at 9.30AM CET - we have ERC officers, a talk with tips and a session for you to ask any questions to successful applicants!

Gets a beautiful cell that gives up before imaging. My unnecessarily dramatic brain, "Is it better to have had a good thing and lost it, or never to have had it?"

PS: This is not the cell that gave up.

[Meera Chandra @MeeraChandra01]

Love-hate relationship with this setup, but I'm always so excited and amazed by things it allows us to study! #DSTORM #microscopy

[Meera Chandra @MeeraChandra01]

Brilliant opportunity! Deadline: 30th September, dont miss❗

[Meera Chandra @MeeraChandra01]

very rarely do my cells acknowledge and reciprocate the love I shower on them day in and out. today was one such day, so happy #FluorescenceFriday to me and you all!

[ErrantScience @ErrantScience]

Science is a subject of logic and reason... except when it's not working it's clearly being ridiculous and unreasonable

[Meera Chandra @MeeraChandra01]

@AmrapaliAnjali @JaimedeJuan Massive congratulations!! This is incredible

[Meera Chandra @MeeraChandra01]

@dr_imariwalker yes!

"Many of us face the perception that the more time a scientist spends popularizing science, the less scientifically accomplished they are. That is far from true," writes @frakyc in this week's #ScienceWorkingLife. https://t.co/svKdOl5nyW @ScienceCareers

Is this the coolest opportunity on twitter today? Absolutely. Great lab, super interesting work!

[Meera Chandra @MeeraChandra01]

how adorable are they!! my photo gallery is blessed, and so is your feed now xD

[Meera Chandra @MeeraChandra01]

They took me to extracurriculars and classes as a kid and the least I could have done for them is show them what and how I am doing now, though far away from them. Their visit in itself has been a wholesome experience and I couldn't have asked for anything better.🫶🏻
