*** Come join us !! We are recruiting !! *** How does the brain generate beliefs that go beyond direct experience? How do these mechanisms go awry in psychosis? The Barron lab tinyurl.com/bdf4drjf @MRCBNDU @NDCNOxford are recruiting a new postdoc tinyurl.com/ut4vbwt4 to work in mouse models

Come join us! The Global Scholars program gives you a chance to become a virtual member of our institute. One of our most exciting long-term collaborations started this way!

PhD position alert! Come work with Inti Brazil and us at @dondersinst.bsky.social: www.ru.nl/en/working-a...

🚨New publication alert!🚨 A big one! It might just be my *biggest* one: doi.org/10.1093/iob/... IMPORTANT THREAD! From the moment Dave Blackburn set me loose at the Florida Museum, I had a marvelous time using diffusible iodine-based contrast-enhanced CT (diceCT) to create anatomical datasets 🧪1/6

I am excited to announce that The Integrative Biology of Brain Evolution (TIBBE) seminar series launches tomorrow April 22, 2–3pm UTC, bringing together presentations by 2 outstanding evolutionary neuroscientists followed by an interactive discussion with the audience @eseb.bsky.social

Definitely sounds interesting. Quick scan suggest frontal but not temporal convergence? Looking forward to diving into. Ping @swarringtonmri.bsky.social @mristam.bsky.social

The Novo Nordisk – Oxford Fellowship Programme open for applications The programme is focused on research in diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and other cardiometabolic conditions. There are 4 fully funded fellowships (3 years). For more info on how to apply, visit shorturl.at/3l47e

Preprint alert: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Out of interest for a conference proposal - who is working on computational mechanisms of cognition/perception/emotion across species (or related areas)?

What makes the human brain unique? We compared it with monkeys and apes to find out theconversation.com/what-makes-t...

Now that’s what I call a cool preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... thank you for involving me

Scientists Just Found the Secret Difference Between Human and Primate Brains scitechdaily.com/scientists-j...

Always thought we should use connectivity blueprints to investigate differences between human, chimpanzee, and macaque brains? www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... For Katherine Bryant’s latest masterpiece.

We are hiring! If you are experienced in the conduct and/analysis neuroimaging or experimental medicine studies and are looking to move into neuroscience and mental health research in industry, check out our vacancies. More info here: www.linkedin.com/posts/liz-tu... #neuroscience #scijobs

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

Neuroscientist Sarah Heilbronner is a proud product of Martin County schools in Florida 🌴. However, federal budget cuts threaten important work she's doing in brain research. 🧪🏠 @srheilbronner.bsky.social www.tcpalm.com/story/opinio...

We're hiring a Full Professor of Computational Neuroscience in Bristol!!!! (...... or Data Science, AI, Digital Health etc). Come join us in a vibrant city and thriving place for neuroscience and AI research. Please share :-)

Enjoyed reading this!

Nice read about life and work of Yvonne Visser, on her excellent PhD research in the Sensorimotorlab. #DondersInstitute #Radboud

Are you an early-career #scientist who has been affected by the ongoing uncertainties surrounding US federal research funding and hiring? We at @stellatecomms.bsky.social want to help! We are offering 📝 free resume/CV reviews for those whose jobs are at risk: forms.gle/CCbbu2X5GJwH...

If you're a non-UK scientist who wants to come to the UK for a postdoc, this year's Newton Fellowships are now open. You'll need a lab to host you (which could be me, but truly, could be any PI, so get in touch with someone you'd like to work with!) royalsociety.org/grants/newto...

The new edition of European Conference on Comparative Neurobiology, ECCN2025 will take place from May 6th to 8th in beautiful Alicante (Spain) and soon you will be able to register and submit your abstracts through the conference website: eccn2025.umh.es

Ok, I don't think an #EvolutionaryNeuroscience starter pack existed already...so I have started one! This is not nearly as exhaustive as it should be, so drop your name (or the names of your colleagues) in the comments if you want to be added!🤩🙌 go.bsky.app/Q2UW2Sn

Two weeks to go until the application deadline for ILESLA. If you or anyone you know would benefit from full funding to carry out a PhD in Life and/or Environmental Science please visit/refer to our website page iles.web.ox.ac.uk/how-apply where you can see open day videos and get full guidance.
