Our review on Evolution of central neural circuits is out in @Nature Reviews Neuroscience! We hope this will be an enjoyable read for the experts and a good resource for those interested to learn more about how brains evolve. 1/2

First two talks for me at #SfN24 were two excellent ones on neural cell fate, diversity, and evolution, by Corey Harrell and @neuroluci. Dev Bio looks strong here !
Outstanding work by @neuroluci from @TheCrick on the evolution of behavior through plasticity of the nervous system across development.

Looking for a PhD position in comparative connectomics? Apply for a joint-supervised position, with myself and @neuroluci.
The aim is to understand how circuits evolve by comparing whole-brain connectomes of fruit fly species. Apply for Project #2 here:

pay attention please, all of those who have done functional genomics courses with me and @pamcafrica and @TReNDinAfrica - if you have significant genomics experience then these are a great opportunity for you

Congratulations to group leader @neuroluci who will be working with @giorgiogilestro from @Imperialcollege to study the evolution of sleep 🥳
Congratulations also to satellite group leader Pietro Fratta @FrattaLab from @UCL whose project will explore neurodegeneration 👏
We’re excited to support 64 interdisciplinary teams that are taking innovative approaches to study fundamental #neuroscience + neurodegenerative diseases. Read more about our second cycle of @ChanZuckerberg’s Neuroscience Collaborative Pairs Pilot Projects https://t.co/lHmlEbDOMj

Today, we are announcing Future House, a philanthropically-funded moonshot focused on building an AI Scientist.
At Future House, our 10-year mission is to build semi-autonomous AIs for scientific research, to accelerate the pace of discovery and to provide world-wide access to cutting-edge scientific, medical, and engineering expertise. We have chosen to focus on biology because we believe biology is the science most likely to advance humanity in the coming decades, through its impact on medicine, food security, and climate. We also believe that biology research is set to scale, and AI will help us get there.
Future House is an independent, non-profit research organization, headquartered in San Francisco. At Future House, biology researchers and AI researchers will work together to build AI Scientists and to use those AI Scientists to make research 10x to 100x faster than it is today. We are fiercely committed to a flat structure, team science and individual contributions. We are also hiring, for AI researchers, wet lab biology researchers, and other roles. If this mission and these ideas are exciting to you, get in touch. Join our mailing list, follow us at @FutureHouseSF, and reach out to us at [email protected].

Deeply honoured to have been elected a Vallee Scholar. Very grateful for the fantastic support of @TheCrick and to the amazing people in my lab. Excited for the journey ahead and what @TheValleeFdn will help us discover!
Congratulations to Crick group leader Lucia Prieto-Godino @neuroluci 🥳
Lucia - whose lab is focused on finding out how neural networks in the brain develop, function and evolve - has been named as one of the six 2023 Vallee Scholars!
