@AdrianoAguzzi First I thought you were talking about supplemental figures, then I briefly thought you meant supplements for cell culturing. Now I get your point and I totally agree

[Schratt lab @SchrattL]

In our new study published @PNAS we describe a microRNA-based mechanism that coordinates the scaling of inhibitory and excitatory synapses during homeostatic plasticity, with possible implications for sleep regulation. https://t.co/KNEuzIkWG6

Springer Nature earns a revenue of ~$2b a year, with wide profit margins built on a model that charges scientists $10k+ of taxpayer dollars per article in their flagship journals, retains the copyright, and then charges institutions and the taxpayer to access the research. A model generalizable to academic publishers broadly.

the govt is destroying science rn yes but Nature’s and others been doing their part for a while

@AdrianoAguzzi How do you get away with paying a bioinformatician minimum wage? Also, who is prompting ChatGPT and runs the actual code? If that is a computionally non-experienced senior group member that will take 3 times longer, that will get expensive very fast.

We developed an imaging-free spatial genomics technology where DNA barcodes diffuse to connect locally. Using UMAP, we reconstructed the physical locations of these barcodes, transforming spatial transcriptomics into purely molecular biology.

We are delighted to announce that it is now possible to assess the functional properties of neurons (IPSC-derived, primary, organoids) using HD-MEAs at the Electrophysiology Facility of UZH. Check out our summary of the services we can offer using this technique.

[Electrophysiology Core Facility (E-Phac) at UZH @e_phac]

First data from our HD-MEA setup at #EPHAC!
Watch how primary cortical neurons (kindly provided by @SchrattL) fire synchronized bursts of action potentials as soon as at DIV9.

Get in touch if you are interested in using this system with your cells.

@letelliermathi1 @iins_bordeaux @MAPteam_neuro Congrats, Mathieu!

[David Colameo @DColameo]

Happy to share our latest preprint, where we show that #miRNA-218 coordinates homeostatic scaling of excitatory and inhibitory #synapses. Thanks for all the collaborators @WElgrawani, @Carlottagilard3, @SchrattL.

All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal

This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

As a company from eastern Germany, we know that building a wall to try and keep people from leaving isn't a good idea.

@cedricwermuth As is the case for many other conflicts such as in #Palestine

[David Colameo @DColameo]

Lets hope @ETH_en follows the great example of @EPFL. Officially for now, only the inflation compensation for professors and staff members was confirmed. (also note the generally higher salaries for PhD students at EPFL)

[Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, PhD @TrackingActions]

@kaymtye Update! ETH board and EPFL up the salaries for 2023! 🎉

Our study on microRNA-dependent regulation of the bipolar disorder risk gene Cacnb2 is just out at @emboreports: https://t.co/3PfEY3haVD Great collaboration with multiple groups within the @dfg_public #FOR2107 consortium: @MarkusWohr, R. Schwarting, T. Kircher, U. Dannlowski
