- Reposted by Carlos RibeiroVery happy for this @ejneuroscience.bsky.social editorial on the importance of diverse research animals in neuroscience. We make the case that embracing a plurality of model organisms enriches the field and accelerates both basic and translational research. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- Reposted by Carlos RibeiroExtremely excited & proud to share our new preprint - we provide for the first time a single cell map of the mouse brain across sex, the estrous cycle, and peripartum!

- Reposted by Carlos RibeiroNaively, I never considered it - if we are to successfully ‘colonise’ space we need to get much better at understanding & building functional ecosystems that include recycling & environmental regulation. We know how to build rockets; time to better understand biology 🧪 economist.com/leaders/2025...
- Reposted by Carlos Ribeiro'Politicians often thought “we’ll let someone else do the primary discovery and we can then just exploit it”, Leptin said, “forgetting that in order to exploit scientific knowledge that was generated elsewhere, you yourself have to have the people who are skilled in using that knowledge”.
- To many discoveries, friendships, health, joy, and keeping the eye on the ball. Nothing is ever acquired. Lets keep on fighting for the important things in life!
- Things might be foggy but let’s continue our voyage into the unknown with curiosity and enthusiasm.

- Journalists should know that words matter. Can we please consider replacing “mainstream” with “evidence” whenever appropriate. It has a completely different connotation and in science mainstream is very often due to all evidences pointing in that direction. Especially for vaccines. Thanks!
