Have you ever wondered how memories are processed downstream of the #hippocampus and how this is affected by #Alzheimer's? We believe we may find some answers by riding all the way down the fornix to the mammillary body. Apply here for a #PhD with us: ovgu.b-ite.careers/56yvk

I finally read the Project 2025's proposals for education. It's easy enough to say "abolish the department of education." I mean, who outside of Washington actually cares about how the federal government organizes its education programs? But what you might care about is that

Wondering about bias in community science data? Here is an example from St. Louis. On the left is a Racial Dot Map, on the right are iNaturalist observations of squirrels. Squirrels are abundant in the northern part of the city but there are no recorded observations.

In all seriousness, read what @jkpritch has to say here. This is an scientifically inaccurate and, because of the topic, incredibly dangerous presentation of genetic variation and race. @Nature and @AllofUsResearch should retract this paper.
Jonathan Pritchard@jkpritch20 Feb 2024
It's a pity that All of Us used UMAP to visualize ancestry variation in their new marker paper, out today in Nature. The UMAP algorithm, by design, exaggerates the distinctiveness of the most frequent ancestries, a message that can be misinterpreted by the public.

Calling all #newPIs - how did you best take advantage of new lab startup programs when working with suppliers? Any programs that stick out as being particularly good? Right now it seems overwhelming to sift through all these options. #academia #research #newlab #science

We have a new paper out in Biology Letters (@royalsociety). In it, we investigated the link between neuron number and habitat complexity across Puerto Rican anoles🦎🌳 #science #anolis #LGBTQinSTEM #herpetology #neuroethology #neurons #brainevolution doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2023.04…

Habitat complexity influences neuron number in six species of Puerto Rican Anolis

Abstract. Elucidating the selective forces shaping the diversity of vertebrate brains continues to be a major area of inquiry, particularly as it relates t

We found that anole species living in more complex habitats had more neurons in their telencephalon and midbrain/hindbrain regions. 🧠 Habitats that are more complex have greater structural heterogeneity, which constrained lizard movement to a greater degree.🌳🌾🎋

These results suggest that habitat complexity potentially selects for interspecific differences in neuroanatomy in Puerto Rican anoles. Further studies are needed to see if this pattern holds across other anole radiations!
