Profiling Maternal Behavior Responses During Whole-Brain Imaging Recent advancements in whole-brain imaging tools have enabled neuroscientists to investigate how coordinated brain activity processes external cues, ...

In this methods protocol, we report differences in spontaneous, head-fixed behavioral responses to pup calls between mothers and naïve virgins and share a method for extracting meaningful, uninstructed behavioral readouts from constrained video recording environments.

Thank you Pew Trust for this honor. Thank you to my amazing communities who have supported me and our “radical and rigorous, ambitious and meticulous,” Marlin Lab Science .✨

Bianca Jones Marlin, PhD

Congratulations to @bjmarlin.bsky.social on being named a 2025 Pew Biomedical Scholar! Her research dives deep into what is innate, what is learned and what is chosen by biology to be passed down from generation to generation. 🧠 🌟

Thanks @hypothesisfund.bsky.social! I’m thankful for you and our beautiful community ✨

Big congrats to Hypothesis Fund Awardee @bjmarlin.bsky.social! We're proud early supporters of her research on transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, and can't wait to see what she'll discover next! Go Bianca! 🌟

Come celebrate with me - I’m telling a story at @storycollider.bsky.social 15th anniversary show on June 3! ✨🧪

A collaborative study between the labs of @danmucida.bsky.social and @victora.bsky.social earlier this year showed how immune cells in the gut distinguish between food and harmful pathogens, shedding light on the origins of food allergies: bit.ly/4hyS18b

Dr. Marlin, a Black woman neuroscientist, is smiling proudly in her lab space. She’s wearing a white shirt, simple necklace, small hoop earrings, dark red lipstick and has a beautifully shaved head.

Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin is an @HHMINEWS Freeman Hrabowski Scholar & Assistant Professor at Columbia University 🧠

The Marlin Lab researches transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (how parents' lived experiences change the brains of future offspring) 🧬🐭

Six women stand close together, smiling at the camera in a well-lit indoor space with arched windows at a professional conference. The background features black-framed doors and a glimpse of palm trees outside.

Attended my first @cziscience.bsky.social #Neuroscience 2025 Meeting 🧠

Grateful to speak alongside such amazing theorists, see old & new friends & connect across academia & industry

Shoutout to @bjmarlin.bsky.social, @muraronara.bsky.social , @erinmgibson.bsky.social & all these wonderful folks🌟

#SciArt #neuroscience

A giant brain at the center of a futuristic city, radiating a complex network of roads (a metaphor for the peripheral nervous system)

Since it's #brainawareness week, I want to take a break from the ongoing dystopia to celebrate my favorite organ and repost some of my favorite #neuroscience #sciart!

Let's start with this #scifi brain city I just made for an upcoming Italian graphic novel 🧠 🏙

Thank you Alex for sharing this moment ✨

Today marks the last day of Black History Month and this year was the first in my memory that I haven’t felt like the BHM was embraced by my educational community. Even as a child, February was always a time when we talked about historic figures like Dr. King but this year… 1/5

To Note: I am acutely aware of the state of my industry and my country. I post this as a place of reprieve and respite amidst our never ending struggle to do what we believe is right.

Part of my twitter motivation was to follow reality TV.

Y’all. I’m the biggest fan of love is blind. But…dayum this is painful 😂. I may have to bow out this season…
