The latest and greatest

Gut wrenching essay about trainees by Daphna Shohamy (Director of Columbia's Zuckerman Neuroscience Institute). "let’s be clear: It isn’t institutions that are being punished. It’s the researchers who are the future of science in this country ..." 💔 www.statnews.com/2025/05/07/u...

Three WIN Trainees Awarded 2024 CAN-CIHR-INMHA Brain Star Awards🧠🌟 from the Canadian Association for Neuroscience! Congratulations to Caroline Nettekoven, Diego Piza, and Hayley Shanks!! Read the news release on our website!! shorturl.at/wzJYu

Wow Pacers!

If you have an interest in non-human primate systems neuroscience and/or imaging esp. if it relates to development or learning, call me! These are major chair positions that come with at least $4M or $8M over 8 years, depending on career stage.

Norway has 5m people. This is a fund for post-docs perhaps new faculty. No one wants to replicate all of the NIH, they want to recruit talent on the margins.

Americans seem to think other countries want to recruit ALL of them.

I bought this book and its great! Highly recommend to have around the lab.

Great session @actlab.bsky.social! Thanks for the invite!

<s> wait, "ecological" but not studying fly balls? </s>

NCM warmup edition

POSTDOC JOB OPENING. My lab at @mossresearch.bsky.social has an opening for a postdoc fellow to work with @aaronlwong.bsky.social and me on an NSF-funded research program studying mechanisms of sensory plasticity that accompany adaptive motor learning. The full posting is below. Please share!

List 290!

🔊Share widely! Were looking for a Tier 2 CRC in Human Metabolic Disease! Just posted but hurry as app deadline is May 15! Got expertise in #obesity or #diabetes and are an emerging expert in your field? Apply now!!!! carleton.ca/deputyprovos...

Congratulations to our newly-minted Dr. Vaishu Sukumar! Exceptional job today.

Now out in JNP: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....

We put this out on Friday so you have something to do over the weekend. Enjoy all the great work out there!

sad but at this point it is ~0 chance

On today -- a new view on the most classical of all motor cortical questions.

Check out @jonathanamichaels.bsky.social's work -- we think this study is a big step forward for understanding how sensory information shapes motor circuits.

the superlab trainees deliver week after week!

timely article but does brain token prediction get us to understanding neural computation?

Check out the latest Superlab guest speaker. We were lucky to host @aniladmello.bsky.social who gave a fascinating presentation about the cerebellum and its relationship to autism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzOe...

Going to #Cosyne2025? Check out two posters from the lab, presented by @jonathanamichaels.bsky.social and @mkashefi.bsky.social.

If you want to do work like this as a PhD student or a post-doc, get in touch!
