Thanks for the opportunity to talk about fish brains live on air @3RRRFM and @einstein_agogo! The interviews with all 21 students are now available to stream if you missed them live (link in tweet below, I'm number 19!) 🐟🧠🎶

Stoked to be talking about my PhD on 3RRR radio this Sunday! You can stream it online if you're not based in Melbourne. I'll be talking about how I use fish to understand how our brains process sounds 🐟🧠🎶

📢We have two super exciting projects on brain oscillations, metabolism and fluid exchange in the brain, available for students (national and international) interested in pursuing a PhD in neuroscience 🧠. DM me if you want to learn more about it.

Thinking about starting a PhD next year? DM me if you're curious about working with a super team in beautiful Brisbane on brain development and evolution (including in marsupials!). Applications to start at UQ in 2024 close in July for international students and Sept for domestic

Come join us at Melbourne Uni! It's been pretty cool here so far 🧠🐟

Juan Botto is a PhD student in the computational and molecular biology group in QBI’s Faulkner lab. In this quick video, he shares what fascinates him most about the brain. Stay tuned for more videos from #QBI young researchers during #BrainAwarenessWeek.

Check out our latest paper in Nature Communications! “Expectations violations enhances neuronal encoding of sensory information in the mouse primary visual cortex”

Congrats @SarahStednitz for a well-deserved ECR poster award from @AusNeuroSoc #ANS2022. Pictured here with conference-organisers-supreme @jess_nithi and @zane_andrews1.

Great action photography by @LabEthan! Thanks to everyone who came to our posters 🎉

Tomorrow at #ANS2022 I will be on Poster #147 with some results of my work on habituation to the visual dark loom using open/closed loop behavioural paradigms in zebrafish larvae! Come to chat about VR/closed loop behavioural expts and visual processing and habituation @LabEthan

Happy Friday, all! Thanks to everyone who has started or completed the research survey. If you haven't, we are looking for #ActuallyAutistic adults for an online survey about #auditory experiences in everyday life. https://t.co/34F8xnV5bn

Thanks to the @QldBrainInst and our sponsors for making the #QBIRetreat2022 possible! @heapsnormal, @Eppendorf_Group, @NEBiolabs, #Scitech, #invitro_technologies and #NewSpec! 🧠

Our #SpotlightZebrafish this week is on Dr. Sarah Stednitz (@SarahStednitz), a postdoc with @LabEthan @QldBrainInst/ @UniMelb. She studies sensory processing and social interactions in zebrafish. (1/2)

📢We are recruiting a research assistant to join our collaborative team at the @QldBrainInst. The ideal candidate would have experience in animal models of neurodegeneration. Read more about us https://t.co/c83eqG0SQk and apply by using this link:

Congrats Itia! 🥳🧠🐟🔬

Here it is, my first first author paper! This is the review I wished I could have read when I started my masters on auditory function in rodent models of autism, I hope others find it helpful! Thanks @juliette_cheyne for guiding me through the process 🧠🐀🎶

We're moving to @UniMelb and have #postdocjobs in #autism modelling and #compneuro. Join our diverse, supportive team of physicists, neuroscientists, and mathematicians as we try to figure out how the #zebrafish brain perceives and responds to the world. Please RT. Details 👇

Exciting PhD opportunity at the interface of theoretical & experimental research. @UQ_News Live image neural tube formation @IMBatUQ & develop mathematical models of morphogenesis @UniofExeter. Apply by 30th Aug 22. Graduate with a joint degree! Pls RT 🙏 https://t.co/K9mh2f4Eyu

Can definitely recommend this kind and supportive lab group to anyone looking for work in Auckland 🧠🫀
