More hiring in Glasgow neuroscience! The Weir lab is advertising a postdoc position, to interrogate the neurobiology of chronic pain with confocal microscopy, RNA-sequencing, electrophysiology, and behaviour. More details on https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DCW482/research-assistant-associate

Spontaneous activity is an important attribute of neurodevelopment. @cssmity &co show that satellite #GlialCells in the #PNS display isolated spontaneous Ca2+ transients, sensitive to #mechanosensitive protein #Piezo1, revealing a role for #mechanobiology in the activity of developing neural cells #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3t0Ko6w

Welcome to all! ❤️​🐀​
Potential new followers: can we try something out?

- if you're a #Neuroscientist (of any status, yes, undergraduate students can be neuroscientists), could you answer with your neuro 'categories': Experimentalist, Computational, Philosopher, Fly, Human, Rodent, Whale, Tetrodes, Calcium imaging, fMRI, EEG, etc. This is so that I (and possibly others) can put you in a List! I'll share my lists once they have grown enough 😀​

- if you're not a Neuroscientist, this account will probably not follow you, but you are totally free to follow it, and also to tell us about you and any questions you might have about neuroscience!

- if you want to learn about neuroscience, I will try to post beginner-level explanations with the hashtag #NeuroForNewbies. Just an experiment...

Happy #FluorescenceFriday !
Look at these super cute HUVECS stained to reveal their nucleus (pink) and actin cytoskeleton (blue) ...but wait ...what are these dotty rings in orange ? Well, feel free to have a look at our paper to know 🫢😁

Pretty interesting new data on GluA1 homomers from Ingo Greger’s lab. Distinct structural dynamics of this special subclass, compared to other AMPAR, are examined at multiple levels, from CryoEM to synaptic responses. #glutsmate #ionchannels #synapses https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06528-0

Postdoc position - Lipid Network Reconstruction & Computational Modeling @Joostholthuis

Osnabrück University

The Holthuis Lab at Osnabrück University is looking for a Postdoc to work on LIPID NETWORK RECONSTRUCTION & COMPUTATIONAL MODELING FOR IMDs

Postdoc position at EPFL on understanding functional alteration in retinas of patients with retinitis pigmentosa https://emploi.ophtalmique.ch/?page=advertisement_display&id=1163

As an experimentalist, I'm tired of being told that my role is to "validate models". No, it isn't. It's my job to find out what nature is actually up to, which is almost always more nuanced, surprising and intricate than the modellers thought, and for them to see if they can accurately simulate the consequences computationally.

The game here is to understand nature, not to be convenient.

I didn’t start photography until I was in my late thirties. It’s cool to discover interesting hobbies at this stage in my life when I’ve lived long enough to be able to appreciate them.

I have a bunch of hummingbird photos but this one is special because of the lighting and the neatly contrasting backdrop, which is the hanging fronds from a fan palm.
