The Leading Edge Fellows gathered this week to celebrate Zara Weinberg, a beloved member of our community. Our 7th cohort of Leading Edge Fellows (2026) will be named in her honor. The Zara Weinberg Leading Edge Cohort application is now open! Due Feb 2. www.leadingedgesymposium.org/apply/

Argentina. Postdoc in Younger lab 🦟 @BU_Biology @buCSNneuro. @pewtrusts Latin American Fellow.
This is science made 100% in Argentina at IBioBA-CONICET-MPSP with support from CONICET, Exactas_UBA, @cziscience.bsky.social, SAN_NeuroAr and y’all. Science faces tough times, let's stand for evidence, together💪 doi.org/10.1016/j.is...

The forced oscillator theory not only fits but also predicts features such as: “neurons of different type may present lags in their oscillations”. So @lforencia.bsky.social did lots of very difficult patch recording of LNv pairs 🙌, and found exactly that! (4/7)
Are #Drosophila accessory medulla neurons oscillating coherently? Out today @cp-iscience.bsky.social “Neuronal Synchronization in Drosophila”, featuring DUAL patch clamp recordings from the great @lforencia.bsky.social and impeccable theory by oscillation experts Marcos Wappner & Luis Morelli (1/7)
Fantastic science from Argentina 🇦🇷 @lforencia.bsky.social in the @muraronara.bsky.social Lab nails it with dual patch recordings in Drosophila, revealing coherent, input-driven oscillations in the accessory medulla. Beautiful work from a brilliant team.

Can we break past the usual limits of #SuperResolution #Microscopy—achieving deep-imaging, high-res, large FOV imaging without the trade-offs? 🧬🔬 YES: with #DNA_PAINT + Spinning Disk Confocal + Optical Photon Reassignment (#SDC-OPR)! 📄 www.nature.com/articles/s41... @natcomms.nature.com! 🧵👇
Super-resolution imaging in whole cells and tissues via DNA-PAINT on a spinning disk confocal with optical photon reassignment - Nature Communications
Zaza and colleagues demonstrate that DNA-PAINT on a spinning disk confocal microscope with optical photon reassignment enables high-resolution imaging across large fields and imaging depths, resolving...

Had such and interesting conversation with @lonelypipette.bsky.social and colleagues about the postdoc life — the ups, the downs, and all the in-betweens. Give it a listen! 🚀 Thanks @network-alba.bsky.social and @ibroorg.bsky.social for the opportunity to share my experience and ideas!
🚀 Episode 1 is out! Making the jump from postdoc to PI can feel overwhelming. In this episode of the ALBA-IBRO Diversity Podcast, we talk about fears, uncertainties, and the power of community in navigating this transition. 🎧 Listen now: www.alba.network/diversity-podcast2 youtu.be/O56ejPncoEU?...
