Belated introduction of new lab member - Amir Alayoubi has joined us after his rotations in the neuroscience program. Amir is developing his project now, so look out for his cool ideas about the neural basis of variation in social behaviors (in guppies, at least for now).

Would you like to know all about the evolutionary history of the brain? Do you think such history is key to understanding and modeling modern brains? Join the discussion in the Brains Through Time Reading Club! 📅First session on October 6th at 6pm CEST bit.ly/3C1DCfU

Two new critical takes on land acknowledgments: 1. Land acknowledgements aren't enough outsideonline.com/outdoor-advent… 2. Land acknowledgments "serve as little more than feel-good public gestures" theconversation.com/land-acknowled… h/t Brian D. Earp, Ph.D. Neil Lewis, Jr., PhD

A week late but, I submitted my GRFP! It was harder than expected to put thoughts on paper coherently... Huge shoutout to @HokeCSU for the copious draft revisions. Soon to come: neuronal activity associated with mating-induced behavior change in guppies

It is happening! The second session of the BTT reading club will be on the first of December at 6 CEST! Join us to discover the origins of vertebrate brains with Maria Tosches (@matosches ), Luis Puelles and Paul Cisek!

CU Boulder is waiving fees for GRAs and GTAs. Can we do this too CSU Graduate School? colorado.edu/today/2021/11/…

Believe it or not, these PS6-labeled guppy neurons (Dlv) were imaged at 10x, without a confocal, and processed with open-source software (Fiji).

We are very glad to announce the ‘Systems Neuroscience Through The Lens of Evolutionary Theory’ workshop on May 16th with: Patricia Churchland, Joseph E. LeDoux "The Four Realms of Existence", Barbara Finlay, Lisa Feldman Barrett, Luiz Pessoa, Paul Cisek and @neuropolarbear Register here!: forms.gle/JoFoA41rbWitPL…

very fun time so far at SICB 2023. thanks for @maruca221 for the candids!

Our lab is recruiting for 2 REU students this summer for independent projects on the neural basis of acoustic communication and mate choice in Hyla Chrysoscelis. Please help spread the word! @HokeCSU

Thank you for such a fascinating seminar, and wonderful company. It was truly a joy to host you!

I had the pleasure of designing and co-instructing a one of a kind course with 2 other PhD students in CSU Department of Biology on Recognizing and Addressing oppression in the Sciences. We had students from over 7 departments; the impact was incredible. See more below. natsci.source.colostate.edu/recognizing-an…

Three CSU Department of Biology grad students catalyzed the creation of a new course, Recognizing and Addressing Oppression in the Sciences, that didn’t shy from big topics. Read more about the course, here: col.st/4QJ7W | #RamsShapeScience | Colorado State University

The @HokeCSU lab is recruiting 2 students for our research experience for undergraduates (REU) this summer. Students are funded and mentored through forming and completing independent projects. Application is very short, due feb 29th. forms.gle/BF52skep1963gp…
