It's #WorldOctopusDay! Check out this amazing video captured by Caroline Albertin (Carrie Albertin) of California two-spot octopuses (Octopus bimaculoides) emerging from their egg casings. social.mbl.edu/an-octopus-eme…

Applications for the Community Engagement Travel Award are now open! CMiS is offering travel awards to financially support graduate students at the UO interested in attending conferences with an emphasis on diversity and inclusion. forms.gle/BQwXaq3qpZ2T44…

Check out our #SfN2021 poster from Cris Niell's lab! How are visual and self-motion signals integrated in primary visual cortex? Using ephys + miniature cameras + IMU we measured visual receptive fields and head/eye movement signals in V1 of freely moving mice [P467.04]

Exciting findings about Connexin diversity in the zebrafish!

I started a beginner’s training plan on the Nike RC app a month ago and I just completed the last run of the plan. Not only did I finish my long run feeling stronger than I started, but this was the first time (ever!) that I had run straight for over an hour! 🥲

Octopus moms start to self-destruct after tending their eggs. There are new clues to what’s happening in their bodies when this harmful behavior begins. nyti.ms/3lav2oX

Over the moon about our exciting work investigating this “alien” visual system! It has been an honor to learn from so many experts and to finally share our findings with everyone - especially during #CephalopodWeek 🐙 woo hoo, team! ☺️

Woohoo, Phil! Anyone joining his lab will be in great company. Phil is an incredible mentor and an even more impressive scientist! 🤩 Congrats, Dr. Parker!

An exciting new preprint from the lab! 🐭🐵

before the academic year officially starts up again, I wanted to share the ultimate highlight from my summer - finally marrying my high school sweetheart 💘🥹

Our paper on cell types of the octopus visual system is now out Current Biology! We're excited for the new directions this will open up in understanding how the octopus brain processes visual information. Great work team! cell.com/current-biolog…

A (belated) Halloween treat that took much longer than planned: a doodle of a happy octo dressed as a ghost, shining light on the eyes/brain- the same way our #OpenAccess paper aimed to do! Available through Current Biology & linked below 🐙 doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

🥁 DRUMROLL PLEASE 🥁 TSC is excited to announce this year's winner of the #FundItForward Student Video Challenge is University of Oregon's Mea O. Songco-Casey! Thank you to all the students who participated and congratulations! #ThankstoScience #FundScience 📽🎉🔬 bit.ly/3uTZg4s

Watch Mea (josc) 🐙's winning video submission below! #FundItForward

Thank you for honoring my work, & thanks to The Science Coalition for the opportunity to share about my research! 🐙#FundItForward

Congratulations to Niell lab grad student Mea (josc) 🐙, whose research advocacy video won 1st place in the Science Coalition challenge! She describes her work studying the organization of the octopus visual system 🐙👁️. Great job Mea! around.uoregon.edu/content/uo-gra… vimeo.com/760441111/cd6b…

ICYMI: University of Oregon neuroscience graduate student Mea (josc) 🐙 won the The Science Coalition's 2022 #FunditForward Student Video Challenge. Watch the video about her NIH funded research here. #UOresearch

Meet Mea👋 “I started doing research in undergrad when an opportunity came up to study memory and aging. I found it interesting that changes in your brain can lead to long-lasting effects that sometimes don’t show up until months after an accident.”🔬🧪 #WomenInSTEM

Octopuses have camera type eyes like vertebrates, but does their visual system function similarly? Check out the thread below for new findings from the Niell lab about neural coding in the octopus visual system! 🐙
