🥳Registration is open for the second #NeuroBioUK meeting - UK neuronal cell biologists, join us September 13th STEM Learning in gorgeous York!! Loads of spots for talks from ECRs 🤗🧠🥼🔬 store.york.ac.uk/product-catalo…

Breaking news, neurofliers! In response to popular demand, we have re-opened the abstract submission portal for posters - a few places left only, though. Pls register here: uobevents.eventsair.com/neurofly24/reg… Pls submit here: uobevents.eventsair.com/neurofly24/abs… Deadline 17 July.

🚨NEW: Suella Braverman has attacked Keir Starmer for scrapping the #RwandaScheme on his first day in office Scrapping the scheme sends a clear message to the world that the UK’s hard-won reputation for the rule of law & human rights will be safe in his Government’s hands

🧠 #NeuroBioUK is back for 2024! Register for our one day meeting dedicated to all things neuronal cell biology. 🤓Submit your abstract by the 2nd of August to be considered for a talk. neurobiouk.sites.sheffield.ac.uk/contact Please help us spread the word & join the email list on our website

🚀Excited about our preprint on how OS affects #neuro #cellbiology during #aging, with a novel pathway linking OS and the #microtubule #cytoskeeton, may also be important for #neurodegeneration. Kudos to Sam Shields Inst of Systems, Molecular & Integrative Biology for his great work. 🔗 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Well done Milan !!!

"One of the most important things as a scientist is that you have to be an optimist. If you’re a pessimist, a failed experiment will tell you that the whole idea is bad and you’ll quit. When you fail you have to continue." - chemistry laureate Richard Henderson's advice.

Inspired by other meetings, and striving to improve the sustainability of conferences, Neurofly2024 will be offering reversal of usual or perhaps new usual menu at the conference - thank you everyone who already shared their preferences by email.

Have a look at what John Gurdon's teacher thought about his dreams of becoming a scientist. Thankfully Gurdon wasn't discouraged by this. He went on to receive the 2012 medicine prize for unlocking the secret of genetics. What achievement will receive the 2024 medicine prize?

Congratulations to everybody involved – this is an important milestone in neuroscience: The complete fly brain connectome is here ! 🪰🧠 nature.com/immersive/d428… and also made it to the news bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Glad to see this. Great work, started a field of discovery, with implications for gene regulation, epigenetics and virology, among much else. Again showing that groundbreaking basic-fundamental-discovery-curiosity research leads to rich rewards that are unpredictable in advance.

Alicante will host the XXVIII edition of the European Drosophila Research Conference EDRC2025 👏 The local organizing committee is made up of Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC researchers @sanchezalcaniz, CarmenaLab, Maria Dominguez Lab, Javier Morante & Pastor_Pareja Lab More info 👇 in.umh-csic.es/en/alicante-se…

🚀 Hot off the press! Our latest findings from Inst of Systems, Molecular & Integrative Biology on brain ageing unveil a novel connection between oxidative stress, neuronal microtubules, and the cytoskeletal protein EB1 driving neuronal atrophy. 🎉 A huge thank you to the fantastic team! aginganddisease.org/EN/10.14336/AD…

Interested in pexophagy? Check out our newly published work: we developed pexophagy reporters for use in Drosophila research. Very happy to have been involved in this collaboration Inst of Systems, Molecular & Integrative Biology royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
