Some awesome things that are happening BEFORE our conference: #1: 🥳 SLB kick-off party 🥳 Tue 18th @ 1900 Cafe Oz , 3 place Denfert-Rochereau, 75014. Everyone is welcome! #2:🔬karthala system scope demo🔬 Wed 19th @ 0940 Institut de l'Audition Contact: [email protected]

For all the FC folks who want to make statements about how the brain works, I was just going to re-share our (obviously unpublishable) view that none of these techniques can realistically reveal (even approximately) causality: arxiv.org/abs/1812.03363 - with David Mehler

🧠 I’m on my way to Paris 🇫🇷 to actively participate in SLB. I’m excited to see new developments in optogenetics and other optical approaches in #microscopy 🔬 #2Photon #neuroscience. If you recognize me there feel free to say “Hi!” 👋.

🥳 Kick-off party *tonight* at Cafe Oz, 2 place Denfert-Rochereau @ 1900 Come meet all the incredible attendees... oh, and we'll have a tab open until it runs out! Come join us!

So it begins ! SLB

So it begins SLB #slb2024 Coherent Corp.

Excited to present at the SLB in Paris, France tomorrow. Shout out to the SLB committee for an incredible conference thus far!

You should care about 3D-SHOT stimulation 👍 by ⁦Ian Antón Oldenburg⁩ #slb2024

Wow! What a few days at #SLB2024! From the entire organizing committee (including those who couldn't be there in person) we want to say a massive THANK YOU! For all the insightful discussions, the beautiful talks, the sponsors. SLB is really a special community💙

The Pégard Lab at UNC Chapel Hill is hiring! Join our interdisciplinary team at the interface of engineering, computer science, and behavioral neuroscience. Biomedical / electrical / optical engineering experience preferred. unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/282755

The lab's first paper, "Probing multiplexed basal dendritic computations using two-photon 3D holographic uncaging," is now online at CellReports (cell.com/cell-reports/f…). Congrats to Shulan Xiao and Saumitra #FreePalestine on an outstanding and exquisite effort 👏. Purdue Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Research at Purdue

Hit the mark at this #OptoGRC2024 session 🎯 Led by Ian Antón Oldenburg with Rosa Cossart, Mark Histed-🧠Lab, Dmitry Rinberg, Amy Monasterio & Harshida Pancholi 🧠🧠🐕🐈☕ - you won't want to miss this one!

On my way to Optogenetics Gordon Research Conference looking forward to all the great science. My lab is looking for postdocs, if you’re interested (or interested in learning more) let me know. I’ll buy you a coffee! Related, anyone know where the close espresso is?

The Oldenburg lab is hiring. We’re especially interested in hiring electrophysiologists for a new project. We use holographic Optogenetics to answer questions about the motor system. Let me know if interested.

So incredibly proud of my (twitterless) postdoc Masashi Hasegawa for being awarded the BBRFoundation NARSAD Young Investigator Grant! Masashi is brilliant and independent, and has come up with an amazing project to work on next!

We've gotten some good news grants recently, and now have some funded projects that are looking for postdocs to champion them. All projects use Holographic Optogenetics to study motor systems. Especially looking ephys, optics, or systems neuro people. oldenburglab.com/positions/

How is V1 activity read-out to determine the presence of a visual stimulus? Our study using targeted 2-photon optogenetic stimulation in a detection task found that mice use a simple unweighted read-out strategy (1/6) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very proud of this important work on how thyroid status impacts the brain and behavior. Led by postdoc Dan Hochbaum who assembled quite a team urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https…

Very happy to receive this award alongside amazing colleagues who are actively changing the academic culture 💛

Come to Rutgers and be my colleague! jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/234089
