Grateful to @mblscience.bsky.social for an incredible Whitman Fellowship summer. Back at the bench, learning Parhyale, new techniques, and evo-devo from a leader in the field. Morning runs on the Shining Sea Bikeway were the perfect meditation. Woods Hole is special.

Collaboration, cross-training, and connections with colleagues are all key components to scientific discovery and exploration. Whitman Fellow Mubarak Hussain Syed understands this well. 🔗 Full story here: go.mbl.edu/k20otl

Last semester, two outstanding undergraduates from the Neural Diversity Lab — Nicholas Redhouse and Michael Velasquez- graduated with honors. It has been an absolute pleasure watching them grow as scientists. Both have done amazing work in the lab!

We are excited to host the final "Meet a Scientist" session of the term with Dr. Jennifer Malin. We will discuss how the nervous system develops and her journey as a scientist. She will also present at our biology seminar series on Thursday at 3:30 PM. Thanks so much, Jennifer!

Excited to be in Bengaluru next spring, the place where my scientific journey began. #ISDN2027 This is going to be an amazing meeting!

Five years ago, we packed microscopes, fruit flies, & a lot of hope and headed to the Four Corners & Pueblos of New Mexico. Today, the Pueblo Brain Science Neuroscience Workshop reaches students at UNM, San Juan College, Diné College, Zia/Jemez Pueblo, and now Newcomb! High School! Thanks to all!

Today, we are fortunate to have four amazing neuroscientists with us! Our students will have lots of fun learning from the experts in the fields of lineages, Circuits, and Behaviors. Thank you, Matt, Jelly, Abhilash, & Frank, for being with us this entire week - more later.

We’re excited to celebrate some outstanding science from our trainees today! Two of our undergraduate researchers, Nicholas Redhouse & Michael Velasquez, are presenting their Biochemistry honors theses. Zoe Marriner, our postbacc scholar, is presenting on the cell adhesion code of circuit wiring.

Ph.D. Openings — Fall 2026! If you are passionate about neuroscience, developmental biology, & working with fruit flies, our research group might be the perfect home for you. You can apply using this link: forms.gle/Abt8gX7JhJaE... See poster for more details. Thanks

Sometimes, you meet a student who reminds you why we teach & mentor. Our latest paper, led by Gonzalo & now published in eLife, reveals how the cell cycle acts as a timekeeper for NSCs. A truly exceptional undergrad whose curiosity & hard work made this work possible. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Today, we are excited to host a "Meet A Scientist" session with Dr. Asif Ahmad Bakshi from New York University Abu Dhabi. If you are in the area and interested in learning about his research, scientific journey, and opportunities at NYU Abu Dhabi, please join us. Also, there will be pizza!

LINEAGES, TIME, AND DIVERSITY: We are excited to host our inaugural Neural Diversity Lab Retreat! A special thank you to Asif Bakshi for joining us and sharing his passion for science and mentoring through @jkscientists!
