With three simple steps and in just 48 hr, EZ Clear effectively renders adult mouse organs optically transparent while preserving signals from fluorescent reporters. https://elifesciences.org/articles/77419

An #introduction to eLife's new Mastodon page!

We're an #OpenAccess not-for-profit journal that publishes and reviews #research in the life and biomedical sciences.

We want to improve the way research is practised and shared in part by working with early-career researchers #ECR and supporting #OpenSource technology.

We also just announced our new publishing model that we hope will tackle an overreliance on journal titles and publishing decisions as quality measures for science and scientists.

We're hiring a project manager with comp neuro/ #neuroscience / data or computer science background, and #scicomm skills! Apply latest Nov 30: https://ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:559908/ #openscience #datasharing

Genome of the bee louse fly! “Whatever” you might say, but this weird fly is actually the closest relative of drosophilid flies, and as such super interesting for comparative reasons. Wiki photo shows one sitting on the head of a honey bee. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.08.515706v1

#introduction post! My name is Sonia Roberts (she/her) and I'm a postdoc at Northeastern developing #knit sensors for #soft, fully knitted #robots. My PhD work was on #legged robots running around in the desert (ever gone for a beach run?). I use my robots to test ideas about #affordances and #DirectPerception. I have also done some #SciencePolicy and #TechnologyPolicy #policy work around algorithmic transparency and regulating the use of mobile sentries by law enforcement.

As a #colourblind person, I appreciate people checking their figures in greyscale. But it's a lot of work to always convert your figures into greyscale, right? A lesson from digital artists: you don't have to!

There are easier ways for all operating systems! (see replies)

Checking your figures in greyscale may not resolve all visual impairment issues, but it really helps! Plus, it allows YOU to appreciate *contrast*. Use contrast to your advantage!

Come be our colleague! Six open positions in the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London. Cell and Dev Biol, Infection and Immunity, Molecular Mechanisms of Disease, Plant Sciences, Biotech and Bioengineering, Chair in Microbiology. Great department, great students, great colleagues.

If you’re trying to get mystery insects/arthropods identified here, you should probably be at iNaturalist instead.

All the same, the hashtag #bugID might call your Q to the attention of the appropriate experts here. #insects #spiders

Here is my #introduction. I am a biologist interested in #neuroscience and the #evolution of cells and nervous systems. My research group studies #ciliated marine larvae from a whole-organism perspective, combining behaviour, #connectomics, #imaging, #CRISPR, #modelling and other approaches. We love marine #larvae, their #neurons, #cilia, and #neuropeptides.

Now @Raspberry_Pi has its own @Mastodon instance, and because we’re committed to supporting platforms that support us, we’re putting our money where our mouth is. We have become a platinum sponsor of #Mastodon. In case you don't know Mastodon is a non-profit corporation based in Germany supported by both its sponsors and patreons. #TwitterMigration https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors

#introduction Hi! I'm a research group leader in cognitive computational neuroscience.

I'm broadly interested in human vision, work a lot on face perception, and I'm excited by the opportunities artificial neural networks offer us to make progress in the field.

I'd also like to see a greener world and academia being more family friendly.

Looking forward to some fun exchange with the science community!

This is an important milestone! Research Assessment is changing in the EU:

#introduction I'm a neuroscientist at Oxford and UCL. I spend most of my time thinking about the front of the brain and how it controls behaviour. Sometimes this leads me backwards, but never really further back than hippocampus. I am also deputy editor at eLife so you can shout at me for that if you like.

Hoelldobler & Kwapich’s “Guests of Ants” is a beautiful book, in the tradition of H&W’s 1990 Pulitzer-winning “The Ants”.

Got a copy yesterday. Also, uh… great photos.👀
