Na próxima edição queremos falar sobre Animais, mas não como simples objeto de estudo da Biologia ou mais um documentário de um canal de vida selvagem. 🐶🐦🦋🐝 🔗 A open call está aberta até ao dia 22 de Julho e podes saber mais através do link: shifter.pt/colaborar/
"And how infinitely grateful I should be, if, in my life´s work, I could find one small “up-current” which might lift some other scientist to a point from which he could see a little further than I do." - Konrad Z. Lorenz A lovely parting souvenir I found in a charity shop in Edinburgh🤍
The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away due to natural causes. She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.
Parecia impossível pensar nisto uns meses atrás, mas esta semana defendi a minha tese de doutoramento. Tenho tanto a agradecer a tanta gente que me ajudou durante estes anos dentro e fora do laboratório. E sem dúvida à educaçao pública que sem ela não teria nunca chegado aqui. 🧠🐀🧀 #Neuroscience #PhD

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
PREPRINT🚨Ever wonder how electrical⚡️ stimulation of the brain🧠modulates neuronal activity? Are you working with brain stim and variability makes you want to smash your pc and go to a mountain to grow tomatoes? Are you a family member or a friend who really appreciate me? 1/13

Marino Pagan@marinopagan.bsky.social · last yr.1/7 Our paper on individual variability in decision-making is finally out in @nature.com! Inspired by the classic work by Mante and Sussillo, we trained many rats to solve context-dependent decision-making, and we found that different brains use different neural mechanisms to solve the same task!
📢 We are hiring! 📢 We are looking for a postdoc to help us work out why mice cannot regenerate the spinal cord but spiny mice *can*. More info and how to apply: tinyurl.com/4m6yzbef Get in touch if interested!
Postdoctoral Research Associate
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our group at the Centre for Regenerative Medicine (CRM) and the Institute for Regeneration and Repair (IRR), The University of Edinburgh.
