Butterflies and axolotls: our acquisition systems had a busy summer at the MBL @mblscience.bsky.social ! 🦋🧠 This year, we supported Grass Fellow Jack Supple and Whitman Fellow Angelo Forli @aforli89.bsky.social with Open Ephys acquisition boards. Here’s what they’ve been up to.
A summer of science at MBL: Jack Supple, Grass Fellow from Imperial College London, in the lab beside an Open Ephys recording setup, and Angelo Forli, Whitman Fellow from Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, at the MBL waterfront.
