The FPbase spectra viewer just had it's biggest software refactor in 6 years. It *should* be largely invisible to the end user (hopefully just faster and less buggy). Please let me know if you find any issues as you use it!

Spatial memory & motion are expressed simultaneously during behaviours. Synchronization of hippocampal dynamics (HD) occurs during movement. Disrupting HD during locomotion impairs memory. ⭐ work @rhythmicspikes.bsky.social @ncbsbangalore.bsky.social in #IAN25

Our worm lab is recovering from a mite attack. Trainees devoted hours to cleanup
A mite or two or an army
They are hateful and smarmy
Our helpless little ones
Crushed by their whirling carny
Hello give up not
Gather all the stock
Pick, bleach, clean
Burn to death a game well fought

😮 Just WOW!!
Spray GFP mRNAs on plant leaves and the leaves translate this and you get glowing leaves.

Really interesting preprint on how the nervous-system modulates heat-dependent fertility. Work from @ethanewe.bsky.social from @odedrechavi.bsky.social lab. May well be relevant in a planet that is heating up.

True that
Our dept @tifr.res.in ran an MSc by research for ~25yrs. Our last batch graduated this month. Several headed to excellent PhD programs, some to jobs.
Congratulations and good luck for many fun adventures.

😔 Doing science has taken on elements of a corporation w/ writing=one "vertical". Output of research as patents and IP seems to be another. Metrics is a temple at which we worship at.
Sometimes overlooked is serendipity, small groups that meander & in this context the idea that writing is thinking.
Important.......
