Electrical signaling in Venus Flytrap shown in real-time⚡️ Touching the trigger hairs of the trap causes an influx of calcium ions (shown on top) that spreads rapidly across the leaf. Two action potentials and the leaves quickly close to trap their prey 🪰

“Modulation of the presynapse by neuroligins in the cortex” - presenting this work meant the world to me. Thank you so much @TheGordonLab for all the support 🫶

[Students of Brain Research (SOBR) @SOBRNetwork]

Do you want to showcase your research in a supportive, student-friendly space? Save the date for SOBR's 2023 Student Symposium!

This is an event organised BY students, FOR students, and it's happening on Friday the 24th of November! 🤩

My amazing student @matilda_doran hosting the brilliant @SOBRNetwork event. Thanks for having me!

[The Gordon Lab @TheGordonLab]

Can't wait for this! Come along to to our symposium at #ISNESN2023 @ISN_society to hear about the latest research on presynaptic dynamics

[The Florey @TheFlorey]

The heart-lung machine is used in 20,000 surgeries a year in Australia, and up to half of these patients have delirium, short-term memory loss, emotional disturbance, trouble concentration or problem solving afterwards.

Until now, the reason behind this has been unknown.

First conference! I was nervous to present my early stage research (no data) but am so glad I did it. I left with tons of advice & connections. Moral of le story: don't wait for the perfect moment to put yourself out there, jump in & enjoy the process!

Feeling very grateful for the opportunity to present my masters project to @TheFlorey I dreamt of doing work like this when I was in my undergrad. Big thanks to @TheGordonLab for all the support ❤️

@CameronWoodard Congratulations Cam! 😁 you’ve definitely earned it

Marcus Eriksen was studying plastic pollution in the Arabian Gulf when he met camel expert Ulrich Wernery. “[Ulrich] said, ‘You want to see plastic? Come with me.’ So we went deep into the desert.” https://t.co/x3ydxhSUuS

SO apparently if you can make a mini pizza bagels you can also: decontaminate an N95 respirator from MS2 phage (a SARS-CoV-2 model)!

Hey my academic friends! I lost access to my old twitter account, kindly reconnect with me on this account to help me look somewhat credible as a budding scientist :)
