Poach us please! We have a successful project, the Mothbox, used by dozens of researchers, being invited to workshops give keynotes around the world! But not enough people realize: A) we are out of $$$ + mostly volunteering b) YOUR group can claim the Mothbox by just hiring us to keep working!

cool mothbox hanging on a tree, your group could say THEY are the ones making the mothbox! Just give us money to keep working on this thing :)

Pra ir fechando a semana com uma boa notícia. A #preprint do beehive está online! preprints.scielo.org/index.php/sc... Uma plataforma simples de eletrônica para o desenvolvimento de equipamentos de laboratório e para o ensino de programação. #cienciabr #neuroskyence #openhardware

BeeHive: A flexible open electronics platform for controlling research equipment and teaching electronics principles

In this manuscript we present BeeHive, a standardized, open-source hardware electronics ecosystem designed to address challenges faced by researchers when developing custom scientific equipment. Beehive is flexible and interoperable, since it is organised around minimal design rules. It consists of a microcontroller-based mainboard and function-specific Daughter Boards (DBs) for controlling actuators or reading sensors, allowing researchers to rapidly combine and repurpose components to build complex, specialized systems. This modular approach significantly reduces the time and cost associated with instrumentation development, promoting effective collaboration through shared, standardized solutions. The platform's versatility is demonstrated across several neuroscience applications, including a reward delivery system for head-fixed mice, a modular mouse maze, and an odour stimulator, alongside a dedicated Training DB and curriculum designed to teach electronics and MicroPython programming in an integrated, project-based manner. By embracing open-source principles for hardware and software, BeeHive lowers the barrier to entry for researchers in developing their own setups, fostering greater accessibility, reproducibility, and innovation. The system is also discipline agnostic, and could be used to create tools in different fields.

First post and it's a biggie! The first preprint from our lab is out now 🥳 Something I have wanted to know for a long time- can bumblebees taste amino acids? The answer is yes...but not all of them! 1/2 @sussexneuro.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Gustatory sensitivity to amino acids in bumblebees

Bees rely on amino acids obtained from nectar and pollen for essential physiological functions, including maintenance, sexual maturation, and larval development. While amino acid concentrations in nec...
