This male pufferfish spends 7 to 9 days carving a perfect geometric circle in the sand, just to impress a mate.

How fast is the universe expanding? Two reasonable ways of estimating the expansion rate give puzzlingly different results. I discussed what this mystery might mean with Nobel Prize winning astrophysicist Adam Riess - join us! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Hi, we are organizing a book presentation with Brette on September 23rd, 2026 and a reading club of the book. In case you wanna participate, let me know here or write me: julio.alcantara-carrera@pasteur.fr

Is the brain a computer solved in 4 posts so that we never have to talk about this again (please please please). 1. It's not the same physically as a computer - it's made of meat. Hopefully this one at least is uncontroversial.

🚨Check this neat initiative! ✨ And for online attendance: "No need to register to participate online. The link for online participation will be shared on this page." 👀 #AnimalBehaviour #Philosophy

We are sponsoring an interdisciplinary workshop at UCL on the topic of agency! Registration for attending in person is limited so sign up soon. Deadline for the ECR elevator pitch session is Aug 7. More info here: www.animalinventiveness.com/post/interna...

#Wikipedia UNDER ATTACK At least 10 editors have been imprisoned. A Saudi pediatrician got 14 years behind bars after editing pages about govt surveillance & a women’s rights activist. Belarus sent one to a penal colony for editing a post about murdered journalists. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/b...

In this @braininspired.bsky.social episode, @yoginho.spore.social.ap.brid.gy argues why neuroscience should ground concepts such as agency, intelligence and consciousness in principles fundamental to life, not as detached algorithms and computations. www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir...

Johannes Jaeger explains why we should care that brains and AI are not the same

Living beings must continuously regenerate themselves and judge what’s important to continue living. Artificial intelligence does not and cannot.

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

8 hours. That’s all fish need to heal wounds 🐟⏱️ Why are they so fast compared to humans? I break down the science of rapid regeneration in a microscopy story 🔬 Watch here: youtu.be/Mt9f61adaP0 #FluorescenceFriday #Microscopy

Our paper on convergent evolution of land crabs is out in its final final form. The journal didn't pick my image as the cover, so I'm sharing it here because it must be seen! academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic... 🦀🦑🧪

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Drone photography creating a wonderful illusion! Shooting during early morning or late afternoon with the low sun is necessary to project shadows that are elongated and darkly defined! The black cast of shadows from the giraffe are amazing.

Very proud to present our paper on the spectacular “dances” of Victoria’s riflebirds! Out now in Current Biology. www.cell.com/current-biol...

#OHBM2026 recap! Congratulations to our postdoc Cheslie @cheslieklein.bsky.social presenting her work on arcuate fasciculus maturation and language development in 1-year-olds during both her oral and poster sessions! 🧠✨

During a few days in Singapore in early June, I photographed about 66 species of birds and a few other things, which I'll post here as a thread, starting with Pin-striped Tit-Babbler (1/x) #Birds #BirdPhotography #Singapore

Such a fun @ohbmofficial.bsky.social symposium on “Bridging species and scales”!! Was great to see a packed room. Thanks @k4tj4.bsky.social @JustineHansen @elimuller.bsky.social for joining 😁 #OHBM2026

What signals organise the global layout of the neocortex? Come to poster #2558 #OHBM2026 on Wednesday 13h45 or Thursday 14h45 to chat about folding, geometry, mechanics and genes! @k4tj4.bsky.social @julien-lefevre.bsky.social

The NAAT lab is taking the TGV from Paris to Bordeaux in not too long, heading to #OHBM2026. Come talk to us about everything brain development & evolution! 🧠🤓🥰 @k4tj4.bsky.social @caporalclement.bsky.social

Very cool new work on cortical folding, led by @r3rt0.bsky.social, showing the influence of the geometry of the the unfolded neocortex 🧪🧠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Cortical folding patterns are encoded in the geometry of the unfolded neocortex.

Cortical folding patterns are conserved across individuals of gyrencephalic species and are closely related to cytoarchitectural organisation, connectivity, and function. Early morphogen gradients hav...

Following @netsciconf.bsky.social, Diego Garlaschelli challenges the limitations of standard Shannon-based exponential random graphs by proposing q-exponential random graphs, a model that naturally generates sparse networks with a high degree of clustering and rich assortativity. #NetSci2026

99 shirts sold. Who's gonna be #100? Let's talk about shrimp Let's fund some murals. Let's talk about invertebrate phylogeny. Let's look cool as hell this summer.

Welcome to Shrimp City! Teach your friends about a variety of crustaceans with this helpful visual aid - and set the record straight... bugs is shrimp. Shrimp is not bugs These shirts are designed by @the666cat.bsky.social & printed in Philly! Get one at SquidFacts.net (pls RT!)

There are transient interactions between cellular elements in the developing brain. Proteomic data generation is now essential for ligand–receptor pair prediction & validation. We examined brain regions, of a single human 20GW brain from @HDBR, Univ Newcastle. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

A posttranslational proteomic survey of a single anatomically preserved human 20‐week postconception brain

A well-preserved 20 post-conception week human brain was obtained and finely dissected into 18 anatomically distinct regions, including the pia mater. Each region underwent in-depth proteomic analysi...

Check this post for a wonderful example of science done with the community. We all grow as a result!

Nico Rascovan@nrascovan.bsky.social · 5mo ago

None of this was done “on” communities, but with them. The work was done together with the Huarpe communities #Guaytamari and #LlahuéXumec, who helped define questions, interpret the evidence, and think about how to communicate the results. They are also co-authors of the article. (24/25+)

It was great having you with us Amélie! Looking forward to continuing the discussion 🧠💀🤓

Amélie Beaudet@ameliebeaudet.bsky.social · 3mo ago

On my way back from the Comparative Brain Meeting at @pasteur.fr, 3 days of inspiring talks, great discussions, and catching up with colleagues. Huge thanks to @k4tj4.bsky.social, @r3rt0.bsky.social, and @juliasliwa for organizing such a fantastic meeting 😀 braintrees.github.io/ComparativeB...

(1/15) Thrilled to share new Evo-Devo work where we address the molecular, cellular & morphometric basis of an extreme axis segmentation program in the Japanese eel — an animal that forms 120 vertebrae.

A stunning visualization born from a collaboration with @manlius.bsky.social : 55,486 galaxies and 29,555 streamlines tracing how matter flows across our local universe, built on data from the CosmicFlows-4 project. Article in the first reply 👇
