After nearly 7 years, my PhD work is out in @Nature! Big big thank you to everyone involve within the @realRihellab and the 🐟 floor @uclcdb
nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Our preprint 'Sleep pressure modulates single-neuron synapse dynamics in zebrafish' just dropped on @biorxivpreprint - A concerted effort from @realRihellab @ZWithTheFishes @_LizBroom 🐟💤 🧵👇🏻
Load gels? Use #zebrafish 🐟? Want to do more sustainable research w/out compromising science? We (G Gestri, K Turner, G Powell @stevewilsonlab) made these protocols. Yes, we use these in our @ScienceMagazine + @Nature papers

Sleep isn’t just rest —it’s a reset, says Anna Suppermpool. In zebra fish, synapse loss depends on sleep pressure, peaking after prolonged wakefulness. Using single neuronal imaging to show that not all type of sleep can regulate synaptic homeostasis.

I am thrilled to present the Mosquito Cell Atlas! We analyzed 367K nuclei from 19 tissues in male & female mosquitoes, creating a comprehensive resource for vector biology & infectious disease research.
Plus we made some surprising discoveries! 🦟🧵

This looks amazing! Congrats @Don_B_Arnold and team!
Check out our preprint on new recombinant tools for reversibly ablating excitatory and inhibitory synapses.

Thanks to amazing first author @AidaBareghamyan and collaborators @RichKramerLab , Dave Chenoweth and Robert Campbell.
Although I’m physically just across the Korean Strait and not there, come check out our poster on #Sustainability in 🐟🔬research poster no 111 #IZFC2024 @stevewilsonlab @realRihellab
For those who aren’t at #IZFC2024 in Kyoto or want to know more, Gaia, Kate, and I wrote a little piece for @the_Node earlier this year. thenode.biologists.com/earni…
Check out this incredibly cool opportunity! Can’t wait to see the amazing work that come out of it!

New analysis from the @royalsociety shows just how high UK visa costs for researchers are compared to upfront costs for similar visa routes in 13 other countries.
Here, we take a look at how the UK compares to countries in the G7 included in the analysis 🔍⤵️ 1/5
ALT Bar chart shows the upfront costs for similar visa routes for researchers in the UK, US, France, Italy, Germany and Japan. UK costs are multiple times higher than other countries and the biggest factor for this is the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS).
Very honoured to receive the @ucl Neuroscience Early Career Prize. Had a great day talking science with brilliant people. Plus the fish floor took #UCLNeuroDomain by storm with 2 🐟 talks and a poster prize. Congrats to the organizers for an incredible day!

Check out in Nature a little "behind the scenes" piece by Declan Lyons and @SuppAnya on our recent synapse-sleep paper: Built-up sleep pressure drives the loss of neuronal connections during slumber (nature.com)
Check out our preprint spearheaded by Dave Ellis and @martaandresm looking at how GABAergic system modulate mosquitoes ear. Had fun being apart of this! 🦟💕@UCLEarInstitute

Process was a little slow but all 3 reviewers were absurdly good. Thanks to them if they read this, really gives you hope in the process. We will still edit a bit before the "Version of Records".
Diagnose your knockout & find candidate therapeutics from behaviour alone!
This is what we tried to do in our new preprint. Here is a quick overview for you impatient people 🐟🐟🐟

Look at this amazing video! We injected iron nanoparticles in the inner ear of #zebrafish larva and by manually moving a magnet we evoked both vestibulocular reflex (VOR) and swim bouts! @ZebrafishRock @LaboJeanPerrin @BormuthVolker

Enough about sleep— check out zebrafish brain asymmetry in Science from our UCL zebrafish floor mates! The Nature -Science double makes for a pretty good week for our science collective! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Does #sleep dampen #brain connections, preparing for more learning/new connections the next day?
New study in #zebrafish larvae just published in @Nature by Anya Suppermpool @UCLEarInstitute, and Declan G. Lyons, Elizabeth Broom & Jason Rihel @uclcdb @SuppAnya @realRihellab
ALT Anya's striking image 'Synaptic Nightlife' was captured using a method known as lightsheet microscopy and was awarded a £200 prize after being selected from a field over 300 entries drawn from across UCL's graduate programmes. At night, while we sleep, our brain cells are busy rearranging their connections to each other, forming and forgetting new and old memories. The ‘Synaptic Nightlife’ was captured using lightsheet microscopy from the hindbrain of a live zebrafish larva at night. We are peaking into the hustle and bustle world of neurons (red and cyan) in creating and disassembling new and old connections called ‘synapses’ (small cyan specks)."

What an incredible week for the UCL fish floor! @SuppAnya @realRihellab rocking it in Nature and @GarethTPowell @farofia @stevewilsonfish rocking it in Science! I bask in their glory and very thankful to be part of an amazing group of zebrafish researchers at UCL!

During sleep, the brain weakens new connections made between neurons while awake—but only during the 1st half of sleep, finds a new study in fish led by Prof Jason Rihel @realRihellab & Dr Anya Suppermpool @SuppAnya @uclcdb @uclbiosciences @UCLEarInstitute ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/may/slee…
Check out this behemoth of a paper of how our brain becomes asymmetric! Congrats to all involved @stevewilsonfish and 🐟 family!
science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Really happy for this great story to be published - new insights both into the development of brain asymmetry and into the Wnt signalling pathway. Thanks and congrats to all authors of a very collaborative study!
