Yes! Also, will be around for @sfn, reach out if you want to know more on how mice hunt using auditory cues.
At APAN? so are we! Very excited for the phenomenal @NishanShettigar to present our foray into auditory neuroscience, poster B3!

New pre-print from our lab! We report on the automation of the delicate process of bone removal in rodent cranial microsurgeries. Video shows robotic eggshell engraving & comparison to a manual attempt by an experienced surgeon. https://t.co/8yWtmLeBWN

One of th biggest neuroscience conferences told me that they r gonna keep 100% of registration fee because I told them I could not apply for visa due to lack of finances That's $370 which fr an unpaid PhD student like me was a month's salary @FENSorg mail said it's "penalty"
📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n https://t.co/0PyvvH7fGM

How did we lose our tail? A simple question.. but it wasn't really asked before! We discovered a plausible scenario for the genetic mechanism that led to tail loss. Amazing that such a big change may have been caused by such a small genetic event. https://t.co/0ZR8aH23PJ

How does a small fragment of planarian regenerate an appropriately proportioned complete animal? As part of my PhD project I attempted to address this question with @Planaria1 @fg_mann , Eric Ross, & Sean McKinney @ScienceStowers @HHMINEWS Preprint: https://t.co/eY3QrSpBcP

I'm happy to share that our study is now available to read as a preprint! https://t.co/Ma1vVoW02H Its a story about how memory recall can be flexible and rapidly adapt to the choices an animal needs to make.
biorxiv.org
Memory guides the choices an animal makes across widely varying conditions in dynamic environments. Consequently, the most adaptive choice depends on the options available. How can the same memory...

IT’S SHOWTIME! Thrilled to share my PhD work in @leslievosshall’s lab @RockefellerUniv! Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are invasive in much of the world - across diverse ecosystems, and despite fluctuating, unpredictable climates. How? What’s the secret to their resilience? 1/n 🧵👇🏾
IMPORTANT CONTENT: the curious and curiouser genes discovered by @kritvenks #VosshallLab: tweedledee & tweedledum They protect the eggs of lady mosquitoes facing prolonged drought - a key genetic innovation that promotes mosquito invasiveness on our planet https://t.co/FKr1kLaPEk

(1/n)Ever wondered how cells with intricate architecture survive "mechanical gymnastics" they seamlessly perform in living world - mind-bending extreme movements. Story features entangled organelles (ER), energy dissipation & discovery of "topological damping" inside a giant cell
