Mark your calendar! So excited to organize “Frozen Accidents” with art historian Sefy Hendler! Join us Nov 20th at Galerie Colbert (INHA), Paris. Hosted by HiCSA, Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Please share widely, especially outside your field. Be there or be frozen!!! (see poster & thread for details)

Intrigued by neural mechanisms of innate behaviours, and how electrical synapses dictate circuit performance? We’re looking for an experienced patch clamp electrophysiologist for our 🧠 lab @stockholm-uni.bsky.social Happy to receive expressions of interest - contact me! Pls re-post.

At #FENS2026 ? Our new data on #electricalsynapses tomorrow: Olga Netsyk shows how #gapjunctions time spikes even in a ”slow” network (PS04-678) & Andriana Mantzafou reveals how removing electrical synapses alters the rules of engagement in a circuit and can even make rats better fathers (PS04-677).

Det är väldigt sant. Det blir ofta fokus på inkomstsidan (fördelning av bidrag och anslag) när vi pratar forskningsfinansiering, men utgiftssidan förtjänar minst lika uppmärksamhet. Det har blivit astronomiskt dyrare under en relativt kort tidsperiod; hyror, löner, djurstallning, tillstånd, mm

BREAKING: Massive anti-U.S., pro-Greenland protests have erupted in Copenhagen Let that sink in, one of America’s closest allies is publicly protesting out of fear we might invade their territory So much for the claim that “the world respects the U.S. under Trump.” The reality? It’s the opposite.

Leaving aside the personal for a moment (I have Facebook for that), I learned more from her about being a scientist than from anyone else. A few insights: - Be wary of scientific fads; find a spot where the grass is less trampled. - The clinic needs scientists and the lab needs physicians. (2/5)

When my mother passed away late Dec, I lost not only a parent but the one who guided me into science. A paediatric nephrologist who had an entire children’s hospital built, and a cellular physiologist whose exploration of salt balance spanned from kidney to 🧠, she was the consummate MD-PhD. (1/5).
