We have an opening for a postdoctoral fellow in the group. If your PhD training was or is in computational biology/bioinformatics/ML/data science, and you are interested in evo-devo questions within the retina and the cortex, please DM me or write to me via email! (1/n)

New paper(s) alert. In two linked papers I argue that we have fundamentally misunderstood the ancestry and evolutionary history of retinal circuits for (colour) vision. Part I NatureEcoEvo rdcu.be/dwCEj Part II PLOS Biology doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Monday, British afternoon: Elated to be continuing our Sussex Vision series within World Wide Neuro 🧠🗺️ with Yirong Peng on "Molecular Characterization of Retinal Cell Types: Insights into Evolutionary Origins and Regional Specializations"! Tom Baden Here: youtube.com/watch?v=eqoPs_…

📢 My lab at Vanderbilt University is recruiting 1-2 postdocs and 1-2 technicians to work on mammalian somatosensation development and function! Application details are available at my lab website. shanmeltzerlab.com Please apply soon and get in touch!! Please help me RT!

Registration is open! Join the retina community this summer to learn the newest, coolest results of retinal neurobiology and visual processing! Tell me your first year attending #RNVSRC. Mine was Copper Mountain 2000, memorable for the Eisenhower tunnel fire incident 🔥

How does computation in the brain evolve? In a new review I argue that studying retinal circuits across species may just hold some key answers: shorturl.at/wFMT9

Monday, April 29th: Elated to be continuing our Sussex Vision series within World Wide Neuro 🧠🗺️ with Anna Vlasits talking about "Inhibition in the retina"! Tom Baden Here: youtube.com/watch?v=inyC8B…

A 10-year effort started by Ryan Morrie 10 years ago and finished by now-Dr. Josh Tworig (and others) is published in my fav @SfnJournals. Come for the great question, stay for the gorgeous data, leave knowing there is more to do (1/15) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38514178/

On the heels of a great #RReSTORe / #ARVO2024 meeting, our two new job posts are live. If you are interested in retinal ganglion cell resilience and regeneration, please apply! Postdoc: jobs.bcm.edu/job/Postdoctor… Research Assistant: jobs.bcm.edu/job/Research-A…

The 2024 Visual System Development GRS/GRC starts this weekend! It is going to be a great meeting. Valerie Wallace, Jeremy Kay, and I are looking forward to seeing you in beautiful Italy. Safe travels to all attendees. Use #GRCvisualsystems to tweet about and follow the conference.

We (dkNeuroLab) are looking for postdocs to join our lab at King's CDN | King's College in sunny London to study how the cerebellum collaborate with different forebrain regions in the execution of goal-directed behaviour. Please share! Link to apply here: kcl.ac.uk/jobs/088287-re…
