Can't belive it's finally live!!! Go check it out! The work of 4 years of ups and downs but learned so much in the process. Thanks so so much to @ibianco3 for the amazing mentorship. Oh, and check out the complementary story from the awesone @anti_paride bit.ly/2vY2vcB
What brain circuits keep an animal ‘on task’ so that it can accomplish a goal? Our paper bit.ly/2HuD9Z8 shows that the nucleus isthmi is required for zebrafish to sustain prey pursuit and capture their next meal. Congratulations to @NotHenriquez!

Come and see me speak about #motorcontrol at @SWC_Neuro. Should be a fun set of talks.
At 13:50 BST (UTC+1), we will hear the views of three brilliant PhD students - @CharlieDowell4, @maxowaxo2013 and @pguptasays - on some of the hard questions in neuroscience. Prizes will be at stake!

We have open positions for one/two postdocs and the official UCL ad is (finally) live: bit.ly/33XWcGz
@wellcometrust funded for 4 years. Skills in microscope building or electrophysiology are a bonus.
Contact me to find out more and apply before 31 Oct!
Please RT.

We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD student with computational background to work on social behaviour in zebrafish. Contact us! More on dreo-sci.com/ and zenith-etn.com/.
Looking for a postdoc doing innovative research with the most amazing and inspiring people? Look no further! I cannot overstate the amount of things I learned with @ibianco3 and the fun I had doing my PhD in his lab. A no-brainer if you ask me!
The zebrafishucl.org/bianco-lab is looking for postdocs! Enthusiasm essential. Skills in electrophysiology and custom optics design would also be great. Wellcome-funded. Probably starting early next year (but that's v flexible). Contact me if you're interested and please RT.

My preprint is live 🎉🐟

Did you know making a knockout line in #zebrafish takes ~ 6 months and ~ 100 animals? (1/12)

Excited to share my new @biorxivpreprint co-authored w/@adna_sci: bit.ly/2FTZ4bK `A calibrated optogenetic toolbox of stable zebrafish opsin lines`
A great collab btw @ibianco3 & @ClaireWyart labs. Thanks also to @ZfKubo & @herwig_baier lab for their awesome opsin lines

A wild ride: 5 years ago-8 cells. Now-300,000 cells + Science Breakthrough Cover.
Thank you @JeffreyAFarrell, Yiqun Wang, Bushra Raj @james_gagnon and amazing collaborators.

Science has chosen single-cell analyses of gene activity through time as its #BOTY18, honoring methods that together are enabling researchers to determine, at the individual cell level, which genes are turned on and off as an early embryo develops. vis.sciencemag.org/breakthro…

Please RT! We have 25 Ph.D/Postdoc positions in collective behavior from Jan 1st 2019 in the new excellence cluster, the “Center for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour” uni-konstanz.de/collective-b… at @unikonstanz in collaboration with @maxplanckpress. uni-konstanz.de/collective-b…
Dr MK everyone, promoting the debate. Well done!!!
JUST BECAUSE WE CAN, DOESN’T MEAN WE SHOULD
#CRISPR technology has huge potential, but the #crisprbabies claim from China stands to damage science, trust, and human life.
Whether or not this claim is true, international legislation is needed, URGENTLY.

Rita Fior, #Investigadora Associada da @Neuro_CF, revela, num artigo do @observadorpt, como a #frustração, mais do que a #CuriosidadeCientífica, esteve na base da sua decisão de fazer #investigação em #cancro. Veja a entrevista completa, aqui: observador.pt/especiais/a-fr…

DeepLabCut is an AI tool that can automatically track & label the body parts of moving animals. It's a game-changer for behavioral science, and is already being used to study octopuses, electric fish, surgical robots, racehorses, babies, and more.

The decision to escape is computed by an unreliable synaptic connection that thresholds threat information integrated in the medial superior colliculus, and controls activation of dorsal periaqueductal grey neurons. Crazy cool work by @trabranco lab nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

These fish turn their eyes black to show that they're mad.
Their eyes are usually silver, but black is the default color. They’re constantly suppressing that darkness, and then releasing it when it’s time for a fight
Nature is METAL.
