there is a revolution taking place in biology before our eyes I spent the past month reading the papers & interviews of Michael Levin, and wrote a long-form essay explaining his work and why it's important bitsofwonder.co/p/a-revolution…

The second study of my PhD is out in BBI Health ! We found no association between maternal adverse events during pregnancy and microbiome composition in children and adolescents. 🧬💩 👧🏼

"The current RTP stipend is unviable for many students, limiting their autonomy and pushing them to seek other career paths." Sign this important petition to raise the PhD stipend in Australia Only 9 days left!

🚨New paper alert!🚨 We make a lot of eye movements. Several per second. Eye movements change the retinal image. A long-debated question in visual neuroscience is how do we track objects across eye movements?! We think it could be relatively simple… 🧵 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Excited to present some work from the lab at this years BrainBox conference

My PhD is out in Nature Communications! We showed that social transmission of stress in male mice impairs memory retrieval through a mitoCB1 mechanism in olfactory bulb astrocytes. Special thanks to Marsicano Lab and jaideep bains, and to all the people involved! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Are you working with in vivo optogenetics? Ever wondered what the impact of shining laser light within the brain in the absence of exogenous opsins has on neuronal activity? PLEASE SEE biorxiv.org/content/10.110… & READ 🧵👇 work done SWC, thx Mateo Velez-Fort & Troy Margrie

If you think the next big idea in your field will come from inside the field, you're probably wrong.

We just published this great essay at Asimov Press. I think it persuasively argues that biologists should think of mitochondria as actual, living organisms (and not just as the "powerhouse" of the cell.) This is my favorite passage:

We’re Explore Science, stepping out of stealth with something we think is pretty cool: Embodied AI Scientists running human experiments and publishing their own paper. We're excited to share our work - check it out! explorescience.ai/blog/embodied-… #AI #Science

So AI can design/run/analyse/write up a full psych experiment now... with actual data it collected itself, proper stats, prereg and everything. This is pretty insane. explorescience.ai/blog/embodied-…

#OHBM2025 was a blast -- the perfect way to celebrate submitting my PhD thesis with y'all 🎉 It was an honor to represent the Aussie imaging community alongside a fab panel in the LOC Symposium, sharing my final thesis work on homotopic connectivity: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
