Hi Folks, with @lisataxier.bsky.social moving on to open her own lab at Stony Brook, I am in the market for a new postdoctoral fellow who wants to do slice electrophysiology. We have a number of really exciting projects, translational to basic science, that are ephys focused.

Terrible selfie, but (hopefully) interesting science. We found that making diet tracking easier - using Ai assisted photo recognition apps - resulted in improved adherence and diet quality (more fibre, more fruit and veg). Come check it out #ssib2025
