If you’re applying to your dream lab for an internship/PhD/postdoc, always send a second email 1-2 weeks after the first one if you don’t hear back. I promise we will be grateful rather than annoyed. My email inbox is a disaster and I’m quite junior - and very few of us have secretarial support

Dear colleagues, even if you are short in time, take a look at Figure 5B. Quote from the discussion: "First and foremost, we need to separate the different tasks required of a just accountability system: detection, investigation, and sanctioning."

Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community. reeserichardson.blog/2025/08/04/a...

Just dropped a new preprint! 🧠✨ We did some exciting comparative connectomics and uncovered new insights into how neural circuits evolve. Check it out 👇 #neuroscience #connectomics #preprint #evolution

I am excited to share our new publication in @pnas.org on the de novo nerve net assembly in Hydra embryos showing that neural circuits self-assemble through activity-driven processes, modulated by temperature and the microbiome. Thanks to all colleagues involved here! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

About 100 years the Mangold-Spemann organizer was published and this has been one of the most fruitful and inspiring concepts in Developmental Biology. But how can organizers self-organize? In this review we summarize the knowledge how cnidarians do that: doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...

Cnidarians are among the earliest animals to possess a nervous system. If you're interested in how neuronal circuits emerge and assemble in Hydra embryos, find me at the #NWG2025 @neurowissg.bsky.social conference and check out my poster on Saturday! (T23-3D). #Cnidaria #Hydra
