A salamander, five trainees, and a new lab walk into a pandemic… and emerge as an iron-clad team with an interesting story to tell — We are so happy to share it with you in this week’s issue of @ScienceMagazine

[ISTAustria @ISTAustria]

Exciting news in amphibian biology! A new paper by @LoraBSweeney @davidvijatovic and more @ISTAustria, @ECBJaeger @AstridD_93 @matosches @Columbia and colleagues from @Tel_Aviv_Uni @UUtah @scrippsresearch & @Caltech just published in @Dev_Cell.

Excited to announce that our 2025 Advanced Research Training Course schedule is up and applications are open! 🎉🎉🎉

See you in Woods Hole! https://t.co/9cAcnqoAfG

And because amphibians rock, check out this beautiful manuscript on using AAVs in the CNS of P. waltl, X. laevis and P. bedriagae by @matosches and @LoraBSweeney labs: https://t.co/oFWAEmpJXZ Very grateful for the coordinated preprint release! Go community!

I am very excited to share our latest manuscript on the axolotl nervous system. We established the use of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) to perform circuit tracing in the axolotl brain and retina: https://t.co/OTlsURssHX with @Tanaxolotl @IMPVienna

[Flavio Donato @FlavioDonato82]

Super excited to see that our all-viral method to target isochronic populations of neurons during neurogenesis works across species!! Congrats
@LoraBSweeney
@matosches
and teams!!!

AAVs work in amphibians! 🐸🦎

Check out the outcome of our collaboration with @LoraBSweeney lab and team, showing AAV transfection in salamanders and frogs across life stages! @matosches

grateful to my colleagues @AstridD_93 @davidvijatovic for getting this cool story out

[Lora B. Sweeney @LoraBSweeney]

Excited to announce our latest #neuroevodevo #crossspecies #viraltools paper with
@matosches
and team using AAVs to explore brain and spinal circuits in frog and salamander https://t.co/VJsgSXrhv3.

@DavidAJaeger Eider ducks!! My favorite buddies

[Ishmail Abdus-Saboor @IshmailSaboor]

Amazing new findings from @bjmarlin and colleagues on transgenerational inheritance of traits controlled by biased gene expression changes in offspring. Very cool work.

[Leslie Vosshall PhD @leslievosshall]

Provocative and exciting discovery from Bianca Marlin - how a parent's experience of a scary smell is passed on to the offspring #transgenerational

[Eliza Jaeger @ECBJaeger]

Excellent and succinct summary of our recent work🦎

@schoppik @ZuckermanBrain @dana_fdn @matosches @Columbia Hey thanks! 😁

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

Four new studies in Science reveal evolutionary innovations in reptile and amphibian brains using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. https://t.co/vOxHG9qHJh (THREAD) 🧵

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

By comparing salamander brains with those of lizard, turtle, and mouse, researchers in a new Science study track the evolutionary innovations that gave rise to the mammalian six-layered neocortex, which salamanders do not have. https://t.co/3Psk7eyDrr

@akrish30 Thanks buddy ❤️🦇

[Justus @JustusKebschull]

Check out the 4 (!) gorgeous papers from @matosches, @dhain_neuro, @Tanaxolotl and @TreutleinLab, and Xiaoyu Wei from @BGI_Genomics, looking at salamander, dragons, and axolotls to understand brain evolution! Comparative transcriptomics is coming of age! Now out @ScienceMagazine
