- Reposted by Brandon StellVery happy to share our new paper in #ScienceSignaling revealing that importin β1 isn’t just important for nuclear transport or neuronal growth. We now show it is key for presynaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, local translation, and memory! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Reposted by Brandon StellCoincidence of thalamic HD signal and retrosplenial visual input is detected in the Presubiculum! 🎯 This may be the neuronal basis for landmark anchoring of the HD signal. Pleased to announce the VOR is now available elifesciences.org/articles/92443 Congrats first author Louis Richevaux 🙌
- Excited to share our new article in @natneuro.nature.com with two amazing students in the lab, Vinh Nguyen and Capucine Gros! 🐭🕹️ We investigated how mice learn a joystick task to retrieve water rewards and adapt to sudden perturbations. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- We trained mice to use a joystick to retrieve water. To test their cerebellar learning, we imposed a perturbation (gain = 2x; lower panel) that they needed to overcome to retrieve the reward.
- Reposted by Brandon StellEurope's MSCA postdoctoral fellowships are now attracting many researchers who would have gone to the US. So the payline has dropped below 10% (~1,600 fellowships to 17k applicants). Super tough situation. One more reason to double the next Horizon budget, as proposed by the EU Commission.
- Applications for MCSA are up 64%! 50% now come from outside the EU. Trump effect? The European Research market just got a hell of a lot more crowded. EU should turn on the tap marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/news/msca-po...

- www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/s... “If these trends are not stopped, science is going to be destroyed…” Uh, really? I can’t imagine one of these papers ever influencing my lab’s research. Curious if folks studying noncoding RNA see it differently.
- Grateful for the invitation from the Royal Society — and heartening to see the growing momentum, evident throughout the meeting, behind separating evaluation from publication.

- Reposted by Brandon StellThe Trump administration just dropped an executive order, "Restoring Gold Standard Science" and there's lots to unpack. This EO reveals more about how the Administration will approach scientific integrity and science in regulatory contexts. Some initial thoughts. 🧵 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

- Only one week left to apply to the Paris School for Neuroscience Techniques! parisneuro.ovh
- Reposted by Brandon Stell⚠️ Un poste de MCU en Maths-Info-Stats s'ouvre bientôt à Sorbonne Université pour rejoindre mon équipe (background computationnel et experience en analyse de données de neurosciences experimentales souhaités + qualification requise). Contactez-moi pour plus d'infos! Please RP!
- Very much looking forward to reading this.

- There's still time to apply to the Paris NeuroCourse. This year we'll have two 2-photons, miniscopes, neuropixels, voltage imaging, patch-clamp, and of course an amazing list of lecturers: parisneuro.ovh 2 weeks of neuroscience lectures and techniques in Paris!

- This hasn’t been our year for lasers. We’ve lost two Mai Tais (each with ~10 years of service), and last night, mid-in vivo imaging session, a Spark 920 gave out. Unlike Spectra-Physics, Spark assures us a quick repair, but it’s off to them tomorrow.
- Spread the word! PubPeer is awarding $1,000 for outstanding comments. Comments featured on the front page (pubpeer.com) are strong contenders. bsky.app/profile/pubp...
- We’re encouraging meaningful commentary with $1,000 rewards for selected PubPeer comments. bsky.app/profile/pubp... Now imagine if @hhmi.bsky.social , NIH, NSF, etc also awarded outstanding public reviews. These could boost careers and CVs while building a vital layer of scientific evaluation.
- Reposted by Brandon StellLets start with something exciting! Applications are now open to join our fantastic department as a group leader fellow! Come start your independent group at (in our opinion) the best neuroscience department! reach out here or @macaskillaf.bsky.social for more info! www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...
