"And how infinitely grateful I should be, if, in my life´s work, I could find one small “up-current” which might lift some other scientist to a point from which he could see a little further than I do." - Konrad Z. Lorenz A lovely parting souvenir I found in a charity shop in Edinburgh🤍

Title page of King Solomon’s Ring: New Light on Animal Ways by Konrad Z. Lorenz, translated by Marjorie Kerr Wilson, with a foreword by Julian Huxley, published by The Reprint Society London.

Parecia impossível pensar nisto uns meses atrás, mas esta semana defendi a minha tese de doutoramento. Tenho tanto a agradecer a tanta gente que me ajudou durante estes anos dentro e fora do laboratório. E sem dúvida à educaçao pública que sem ela não teria nunca chegado aqui. 🧠🐀🧀 #Neuroscience #PhD

Thesis cover titled 'Food or Companion? A Study of Cortical and Subcortical Activities During Food and Social Decision-Making in Rats' by Florbela da Rocha Almeida, Sevilla, 2025. The illustration shows a rat imagining cheese on one side and another rat on the other side.

I am standing with a bouquet of colorful flowers, standing in a living room with a cat sitting on a table in the background.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

PREPRINT🚨Ever wonder how electrical⚡️ stimulation of the brain🧠modulates neuronal activity? Are you working with brain stim and variability makes you want to smash your pc and go to a mountain to grow tomatoes? Are you a family member or a friend who really appreciate me? 1/13
