The kissing of sea slugs. Reminds me of Gustav Klimt paintings. Elysia viridis, commonly known as the solar-powered sea slug or sap-sucking slug, is uniquely distinguished by its rare ability to steal plant-like cellular machinery from the algae it eats and use it to perform photosynthesis.

Yet another summer in Greece, yet another series of msgs for a fire nearby. Evacuation notices. And this country still spends in military instead of firefighting bandwidth. #fires2026

Let's do it folks!! Leading edge by @matthewkraushar.bsky.social!!

The time is ⏰ now ⏰ for advocacy from academic researchers This was the ethos of our recent neuroscience symposium, and this must be our mission ➡️ the future of science, and future generations of scientists, are at stake youngpisymposium2026.com

In these many pages: do not get lost ❌ in empty promises of grandeur ❌ or insincere pledges to embetter science and society The intention is crystal clear: starve academic research & strip it of its freedom ➡️ feed corporate profit with public funding if it aligns with political ideology

Alarm bells and all the red flags!!!! We need to act!

The US Government aims to defund basic science, dismantle academia & intellectual freedom ➡️ in service of political ideology & corporate interest In its own words 🚨 Was chapters in Project2025 static.heritage.org/project2025/... 🚨 Now official blueprint published www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Looking for a postdoc (fast)!! 😅 2-years funded on the ATIP-Avenir Program. I'll be at #FENS2026 in Barcelona if you want to meet in person. www.fens.org/careers/job-...

"When your economic system makes curing a disease bad for business, something is fundamentally broken. When the profit motive means people die rationing $5 worth of insulin sold for $300, you don’t have a functioning healthcare system — you have a protection racket with a Hippocratic Oath."

substack.com/@hrnews1/not... Not a cure yet, but a very hopeful breakthrough. There needs to be a lot more research and clinical trials. This research began in the U.S. It sucks that they’ve defunded Science huh?

We wrote a French digest for médecine/sciences about our recent work in Nat. Neuro with @nicolasguyon.bsky.social Original work: www.nature.com/articles/s41... French piece: www.medecinesciences.org/fr/articles/...

Haven’t written science in French in years, but just published a short open-access commentary on my Nat Neuro work with @pierrelemerre.bsky.social. Hopefully useful for teaching in French-speaking contexts! You can find it here: doi.org/10.1051/meds... Original work: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cladoceran from Kattegat, The North Sea. It took me really long time to get the lights right - these creatures are super transparent.

Functional heterogeneity of dorsal raphe nucleus is not fully understood. Here authors show topographically organized sensory and locomotor responses from the zebrafish dorsal raphe and its forebrain ...

For the neural crest nerds: we love looking into transcriptional programs in single NCC cells. However, selective ribosomal modifications refine gene expression programs at a different scale. Here is our story about modified ribosomes in neural crest fate selection: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ribosomal modifications are associated with mesenchymal fate selection in the neural crest lineage - Nature Communications

Neural crest cells differentiate into skeletogenic mesenchyme and neuro-glial lineages, thereby contributing to craniofacial formation. Here, single-cell analysis of cranial neural crest shows that sp...

I am super happy to have been selected as one of the new #FENSKavliScholars! Happy to be a voice of France, Greece and Cyprus, as well as one for Drosophila research! The first encounter with the rest of the extended scholar group has been an energy rump up!!! @institutducerveau.bsky.social

We face great challenges, but our resolve is greater & vision clearer for the future of neuroscience. The @young-pi-neuro26.bsky.social network is stronger than ever. Thanks co-organizers, speakers @tjryan.bsky.social, @drosostalis.bsky.social, @anne-schreiter.bsky.social, & our core ➡️ participants!

Here we go!

🤩@gso-forresearchers.bsky.social one and only Dr. Anne Schreiter shared with us amazing tips for Resilience and Leadership during her keynote talk.

Such a fantastic day at the @young-pi-neuro26.bsky.social!!! Thank you for having me!

Young PI Neuroscience Symposium'26@young-pi-neuro26.bsky.social · last mo.

This morning @drosostalis.bsky.social delivered an outstanding keynote reminding us that we are an integral part of the change we want to see in Science💪

Hello Barcelona it's been a while!! Looking forward to the Young PI symposium tomorrow @young-pi-neuro26.bsky.social and the FENS conf, that is a first for me! Me and my brilliant PhD student @edisonatsakani.bsky.social can tell you about what we be been up to in the newbie GutSense lab!

So excited to finally meet everyone tomorrow! We have a great program planned for you! ☀️🧠💡🏖️ Neuroscience researchers are stronger together (especially in times of uncertainty)! 💪💪💪 @young-pi-neuro26.bsky.social #FENS2026

Young PI Neuroscience Symposium'26@young-pi-neuro26.bsky.social · last mo.

Our @fens.org Satellite meeting is tomorrow! #FENS2026 Check out our updated program👇 youngpisymposium2026.com/program/ We are all super excited to have everyone joining! Safe travels everyone 🚅 ✈️ 🚲 See you in Barcelona 🔆😎

🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations to all! Happy to see the story in the final form out!!

Silvia Barbiero@silviabarbiero.bsky.social · last mo.

It’s out!! 🎉 My first PhD paper has been published in Cell 🤩 A huge thank you to amazing co-authors @cschwayer.bsky.social and @davidbrueckner.bsky.social , and to our fantastic mentors @priscaliberali.bsky.social and @ehannezo.bsky.social for their guidance and support throughout this journey!

Some positivity. We need to hold those in political power accountable for changes that serve the majority not the few. Non negotiable. But we need to push for change together, as a community. Science and society alike. @matthewkraushar.bsky.social well done! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz_v...

Where Igor Ademeyko @adameykolab.bsky.social walks us through a beautiful scenario of what the hell neural crest cells are, co-option, and the camouflage hypothesis. With special mention of Rohon-Beard neurons! 🧪🐟

Co-option and innovation in neural crest evolution

Neural crest evolution reassembled ancient programs in pigment cell lineage, resulting in vertebrate innovations.
