Meet the team behind the EU-SABV COST Action — a multidisciplinary network of researchers, clinicians and data experts from across Europe. Together, we advance SABV integration, strengthen scientific rigor, develop training and guidance, and support long-term capacity building. #SABVinAction

Including Sex as a Biological Variable = better data. Scientific rigor begins with study designs that reflect biological reality. Sex influences physiology, disease mechanisms, and responses to interventions. #EUSABV #SABVinAction #ScientificRigor

The EU-SABV COST Action strengthens SABV integration across in vitro and in vivo research — improving reproducibility and translational value. Because when research reflects everyone, science moves forward. #EUSABV #SABVinAction #ScientificRigor #Reproducibility @costprogramme.bsky.social

~Physiology Week 2025~ This year, we brought physiology into the breath, into awareness. We paused for a moment in our corridor; to slow down, notice, and feel. Feeling well is also a part of homeostasis. 🌿 #FindYourPotential #physiologyweek @physoc.bsky.social

It was the 50th year of Turkish Physiology Congress by Turkish Society of Physiological Sciences. 15 researchers from our department attended with 2 oral and 4 poster presentations. 🫶🏻

Introducing the EU-SABV COST Action — a pan-European network strengthening the integration of Sex as a Biological Variable (SABV) in research. #EUSABV #SABVinAction #OpenScience @costprogramme.bsky.social

Event alert! 🚨 If you’re interested in whether animal vocalization is purely an expression of emotion or it carries complex message based properties, you should consider attending “The 4th Ultrasonic Vocalization Conference” which is FREE and ONLINE 🐀🦇🔊 Register here 🔗 ultrasonicvocalizations.net

Meet the team of EU-SABV! This is a group of researchers with a special interest of including sex as a biological variable into their work. For the next 4 years, this team will work to enhance current SABV policy in preclinical research! #SABV @costprogramme.bsky.social @jaricivana.bsky.social

Oh you do have my attention @ibnsconnect.bsky.social 🤭 I love this part of the science 🩷 IBNS is a truly wonderful scientific community — supportive, inspiring, and full of wit!

First day of my Erasmus visit at Nencki Institute started quite strong! Within the second hour of my arrival, I got to meet Prof Harold Varmus- 1989 Physiology/Medicine Nobel prize laureate 🤩 Is this how life is in Nencki? Or am I in a dream? Cant lie..look forward to day 2!

Thrilled to share that our paper “Evaluation of metabolism-related molecules in a rat model of autism spectrum disorders” is now published in @expphysiol.bsky.social 🎉 Huge thanks to my co-authors and mentors as well as the journal for their great support!! 🔗 doi.org/10.1113/EP09...

Evaluation of metabolism‐related molecules in rat model of autism spectrum disorders

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental pathologies. Investigating both sexes is crucial for understanding sex-specific manifestations of ASD. This study aims to examine ASD-like behav....

Starting the second week focused on Young researchers with a #COSTAcademy Leadership workshop. 🧑‍🔬 We got to engage in inspiring discussions with this amazing group. Thanks for the great insights and experiences of leadership roles by Indrek Heinla, Milorad Dragic, Neda Nikolovski and Olesia Kulyk. 👏

Until now, being in a COST Action felt like something almost unreal. With the leadership training, I finally saw its reality and know what I need to do. On October 22, I’ll be back in Brussels for the kick off meeting of our action. Can’t wait to have the whole team together 🩶 #COST

We love supporting the next generation of scientists - thanx for joining us in Bradford! L-R "Pleasure to share my work" @manueljpuyer.bsky.social "Shout out to the BSN" @natthinan-up.bsky.social "Had an amazing time" @suedatuncak.bsky.social @fuhlig.bsky.social presenting for PhD student Carla

Had an amazing time at #BSNBradford2025 As I focus more on neuroendocrinology now..this was a great start point to see what is going on and meet fellow colleagues! @bsneuroendo.bsky.social

I was supposed to rest after my dissertation. So I checked my calendar, only to realise that August is the only time to submit 4 project proposals and 1 report before I leave for a conference, concert and workshop in early Sept and a month long research visit in late Sept 🥲 #autism #busypostdoc

It’s the end of an era. After 25years of being a student, I am ready for the next step 🩷 Here comes the doctor. #phdone #autism

Pre thesis defence treatment in Edinburgh 🩵 Im fully reseted and going back home with a clear mind after months of hard work on my thesis. Soon to be PhDone 🩵

Home 🏡 Not gonna lie..I missed the dark and the stars and the moon and well melatonin!! 🫠

Take home messages from #IBNS2025; Not all rats enjoy playing as much and there are ‘popular’ ones. This makes some others feel left out and exhibit anxiety like behaviour. Not all controls are controls and individual differences should be carefully evaluated. Play behaviour is tricky 🤓🩷

Not me fangirling over the legendary @liisagalea.bsky.social at #IBNS2025. Finally meeting her in person was my highlight of the event. Sorry midnight sun, sorry other people.

I am done 🩷 First of all, thank you to the person who showed up for my poster at 8am sharp. That is commitment. Secondly, thanks to TUBITAK for funding my travel so I could talk about my research! Had so many people to discuss that I didnt realise i was up for 150mins! 🫣 #IBNS2025 #autism

Third meeting that is planned to be in Cape Town.. IBRO-2027 being in Cape Town was accelerating and made me think ohh its a once in a life time thingy. Then came the INSAR-2027 meeting in Cape Town Now here goes IBNS-2026 🙈 Hope I can get the same funding that got me to Tromso for Cape Town 🫶🏻

Did I just go fishing at the Artic Circle during the midnight sun before the conference kicks in? Life as an academic got interesting 🫣🩷 #IBNS2025

Flying to Tromso for IBNS Annual Meeting with my beloved poster. I will be presenting the behavioural data of my PhD thesis #phdlife #autism #IBNS2025

Can someone, anyone, please tell me what to pack for a conference in Tromso, Norway? I am lost and started to pack everything for the next 10days. #IBNS2025 @ibnsconnect.bsky.social

Submitted my PhD thesis!! 🩵 Next step: Defending #phd #autism
