If you are a senior PhD graduate student, postdoc, or junior faculty in #neuroscience, consider adding your name to my DIY database of peer reviewers. Many academic journal editors draw from this list and you may be contacted: forms.gle/qaggKQXuxkKxkYVg8
Willing to Peer Review Neuroscience Manuscripts

Willing to Peer Review Neuroscience Manuscripts

During the COVID-19 crisis, the pool of willing peer reviewers has shrunk to almost nothing at the same time that the number of manuscript submissions is surging. I am looking for scientists willing...

Our lab is hiring a technician! Contribute to the understanding of the social brain, using cichlid fish as models. Job entails management of genetically modified fish lines, support of ongoing projects through bench work and administration, and coordination of undergraduates.🧵

What if proximity labeling enzymes (e.g., TurboID) can be activated by Ca2+ transients, just like GCaMPs? We developed Cal-ID, a Ca2+-dependent proximity labeling enzyme. It seems to label active neurons well, here is our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Molecular recording of calcium signaling via calcium-dependent protein proximity labeling

Molecular recording of calcium signaling via calcium-dependent protein proximity labeling

Calcium ions serve as key intracellular signals. Local, transient increases in calcium concentrations can activate calcium sensor proteins that in turn trigger downstream effectors. In neurons,...

We are recruiting technicians/graduate students/and postdocs interested in studying genetic regulation of sleep and brain evolution in fly and/or fish models. DM or email me if you would like to talk about ongoing projects in the lab and opportunities! Please retweet!

Congrats @Horstick1 on publication of his cool story about 'handedness' in #zebrafish with literally a twist at the end of the tale! Here's how we worked it out... rdcu.be/b2rT1

About 2 years ago disaster struck - motor bias became unreliable in our wildtype stock. Eric noticed that clutches with unreliable motor bias had 25% embryos with a curly tail phenotype. Turned out to be a serendipitous deletion of the mosaic eyes gene

And sure enough normal looking mosaic eyes hets had only weak motor bias! Nice example of how heterozygous mutations can cause subtle behavioral phenotypes like 'handedness'.
