Just had an amazing time participating in the Open Day at MRC LMB! 🔬 It was incredible to showcase the groundbreaking science happening at our lab to the enthusiastic crowd - people of all ages, especially the curious and bright kids! #OpenDay #InspiringFutureScientists

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

Looking to get some research experience? We are hiring!

2-year fixed term technical position to investigate the neural circuits underlying cooperative digging behaviours in larvae. Using cutting-edge genetic tools, behavioural rigs, and connectomics!

We’ve generated a synapse-resolution map of an insect brain, includes 3016 neurons and half a million synaptic sites! Out today in Science https://t.co/l3W5PEbhtJ

Summary below and in @bpedigod’s thread. @ZlaticLab, @albertcardona, @neuro_data, Carey Priebe, and many others

[Ben Pedigo @bpedigod]

Our work studying the connectome of an insect brain, that of a Drosophila larva, is out today in Science! https://t.co/GWx4HSSIVr Some highlights below and in @WindingMichael’s thread. Work with @neuro_data, Carey Priebe, @albertcardona, @ZlaticLab, and many others.

[Zlatic Lab @ZlaticLab]

👋 It is out! Our joint effort to create a complete synaptic connectome of Drosophila larval brain came true and is published in @ScienceMagazine: https://t.co/OCjqSSsReJ
Amazing work by @WindingMichael, @bpedigod + colleagues from @MRC_LMB @Cambridge_Uni @HopkinsEngineer @JHUBME

[Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience @NeuroPSI_saclay]

Our fourth confirmed tenure this year, Claire Eschbach will join de institute as associate professor.
By combining behavioral approaches, genetic manipulation and in vivo imaging in Drosophila larvae, Claire Eschbach is interested in the fundamental principles governing choices.

[Zlatic Lab @ZlaticLab]

📢All the best Claire on your new exciting journey🎉 All from @ZlaticLab and @albertcardona lab wish you a great start in your new home/workplace in Paris😀🥳🤞

Massive status bias in peer review.

534 reviewers randomized to review the same paper revealing the low status, high status, or neither author. 65% reject low status, 23% reject high status.

Amazing work by Juergen Huber and colleagues. #prc9

[HHMI | Janelia @HHMIJanelia]

Scientists have discovered a new kind of synapse in the tiny hairs on the surface of neurons. New study @CellCellPress, led by the Clapham Lab & @Loom19321, finds these primary cilia could play a key role in how cells communicate long-term changes.

One week ago we released https://t.co/FP1UgRWmm5 the @czbiohub #scRNAseq dataset of zebrafish development with a very intuitive explorer.
The data is open access here https://t.co/PX0DX7Mkcr

In this #Thread I'm going to give you a tutorial on how to use #zebrahub 👇

The brain is formed of intricate biomolecular nanoarchitectures which are difficult to decipher. Our technology helps to reveal previously invisible biomolecular building blocks of brain. @medialab @mcgovernmit @MIT_Picower @natBME
