Birds = model to study embryonic responses to environmental stimuli. check @subbaprakrit.bsky.social ' preprint, where we show "Programming of Embryonic Blood Brain Barrier and Neurovascular Transcriptome by an Anticipatory Acoustic Signal of Heat in the Zebra Finch" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our new pre-print shows how unsupervised clustering methods can identify biologically meaningful differences in early vocal production, with no human feedback. @antorrisi.bsky.social has led this interdisciplinary collaboration based on computational methods + #chicks 🐣 arxiv.org/abs/2601.12203

Take a look into the positive balance project run by our researchers @rosiedavis.bsky.social and @jieyinghuang.bsky.social! This research places focus on teaching individuals how to identify character strengths and positive emotions - a step towards establishing better mental health environments.

A productive training session led by Michaela Egertova! Here Hamza, Robyn, and Dr. Versace work together to image a stained chick cerebellum, building essential skills in brightfield microscopy. @ha1705.bsky.social @robynroachneuro.bsky.social @elisabettaversace.bsky.social #brightfieldmicroscopy
