- Reposted by Kelsey TyssowskiWant to come do a postdoc with us? We’re interested in how sensorimotor function is carried out by the cells and circuits of the spinal cord. We have an awesome team, lots of cool techniques, and we’re open to new ideas/approaches/connections. Get in touch!
- Reposted by Kelsey TyssowskiWhy do some worms graze on bacteria while others hunt and kill? Our study, published today in Nature, reveals how predatory aggression evolved in nematodes. Led by @gunizgozeeren.bsky.social and @leoboeger.bsky.social across the @jameslightfoot.bsky.social and @monikakscholz.bsky.social labs.

There is no sense in giving up in advance. 3. We have agency over the future. If you don't like what's happening, work to change what is happening.
- Reposted by Kelsey TyssowskiExcited to share @rbrianroome.bsky.social ‘s beautiful paper on development of the dorsal horn of the mouse spinal cord @science.org This is how the anatomical organization and cell types that process pain, touch, body position and more are laid down. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Reposted by Kelsey Tyssowski"My New Year's Resolution is to find a principled way to think about all those cell types in the brain" Why friend, you are in luck, because @rgast.bsky.social has just the perspective for you: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- in non-science announcements: tonight I’ll be participating in the first ever live performance of Ian’s 20-years and counting original Christmas music project. If you’re in the Boston area, join us!
- Reposted by Kelsey TyssowskiSpinal motor neurons in dazzling detail. ✨ Each green dot is a spinal motor neuron - crucial but rare cells making up just 1% of neurons in the spinal cord. In diseases like ALS, they are selectively damaged, making them of special interest to neuroscientists. #neuroskyence #FluorescenceFriday

- For one investment manager's compensation, you could hire 50-60 (!!) lecturers. Yet the endowment performance often lags the S&P 500. They could just put the money in index funds and double all the lecturer salaries. cepr.net/publications...

- Reposted by Kelsey TyssowskiThrilled to share our new paper! With @tomtom-auer.bsky.social team, we asked how #evolution reshapes what animals #eat to match their ecological niches. Using pan-neuronal Ca2+ imaging, we show that the changes are in how the brain processes #taste. Link @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Heading to San Diego for #sfn25 today! I’ll be presenting a poster on this work Monday afternoon! looking forward to meeting neuroscientists! please stop by my poster or reach out if you’re going and want to talk motor neuro/behavior, evolution, neuroethology…or whatever else! 🧠🥳 #neuroskyence
- Reposted by Kelsey TyssowskiThe Sosa Lab is going to #SfN25 and actively recruiting ✨postdocs✨ with systems neuroscience experience! We study both fundamental memory processes and how memory changes during pregnancy and postpartum. If you are interested in meeting at SfN, please email me! www.sosaneurolab.com/join/postdoc...
- PSA: it’s gonna rain at #sfn25! @krissylyon.bsky.social tried to warn me, but I’d already left my house without a rain coat 🙀

- Reposted by Kelsey TyssowskiHow does life evolve to adapt to modern cities? Out now in Science, my PhD work with @lindymcbr.bsky.social uncovers the ancient origin of the “London Underground mosquito” – one of the most iconic examples of urban adaptation. 🧵(1/n) @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ady4515
- I want to emphasize that this work is NIH-funded! I'm supported by the BRAIN Initiative on a fellowship program that has been prematurely discontinued (i.e., no new applicants). It's time to organize, call our reps, and make sure we're supporting the NIH and basic research!
