We are looking for a postdoc who wants to write an exciting MSCA-PF grant proposal with us. Our university offers a great program that can help us succeed in obtaining funding: uit.no/arcticmsca. Interested? Just send me your CV and a max 2-page research idea. Please share! #Neuroskyence

Happy sun day! After two months without sun above the horizon, we finally got to see her again! Welcome back! 🌞 #Tromsø

New paper alert! We studied the temporal copulatory patterns of female rat sexual behavior and proposed a new behavioral assessment method. #behavioralneuroscience #UiTtheArcticUniversityofNorway #neuroscience www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We are looking for enthusiastic post-docs who want to join the The Arctic MSCA-PF program and write a MSCA-PF application with us. Do you see how you could contribute to our research: uit.no/research/beh...? Then apply for the program here: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/308380

We have an open post doc position funded by an ERC Consolidator grant. It is 3 years full-time and we are looking for someone with expertise in molecular methods (engram tagging/opto/DREADDs/Immunohistochemistry) to join our big, team-science projects. www.genzellab.com/we-are-hiring

Just 10 more lovely days like these until the sun will return above the horizon! #mørketid #tromsø

God Jul!

Home is where the Northern Lights are. 🌌❄️ Up north, you can barely step outside without stumbling into a northern lights show. It's like the sky is saying, "Don't forget to look up, buddy!" 🤷‍♂️✨ No matter how often I see it, the aurora always leaves me in awe. #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #Tromsø

IBNS is now looking for sponsors and exhibitors! Time to sign up for IBNS in Tromsø next year! #IBNS #Neuroscience

IBNS is now accepting abstracts! Come join us in Tromsø in June 2025 and make our program even better with your poster! #IBNS #Neuroscience

It has already been 14 years since we arrived in Tromsø. But finally, I can say that I am fully integrated. #Lutefisk #TraditionalChristmasFood

Disgusted, disturbed and distraught to read about the silence from #UiT. When whistleblowers dare to come forward with names and faces, while tenured academics stay silent, something is fundamentally wrong. Freedom of speech matters most when it's hardest. www.nordnorskdebatt.no/ubehagelig-s...

News like this is always shocking, but it's especially disappointing when it occurs at your own university. What's perhaps most infuriating, however, is the response to the article: complete silence... www.nordnorskdebatt.no/ubehagelig-s...

Karen Bales, Ph.D. will give the IBNS Presidential Lecture: Comparative and developmental neurobiology of pair-bonding. June 24-29, 2025 in Tromsø, Norway.

Excited to see this review manuscript from lab MD/PhD student Dalton Fitzgerald officially out in Addiction Neuroscience! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Deadline is tomorrow for the UTEP psychology graduate programs! We hope to see your application this cycle! ⬇️

Neural responses to social rejection reflect dissociable learning about relational value and reward www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

We’re recruiting a postdoc interested in developing translational rat models of psychiatric disorders/treatments, esp impacts of adolescent THC & early-life adversity. #behavior, #addiction, #depression, #circuits, #glia, #omics, #psychedelics. Thriving, collaborative community. Let’s talk!

I would have gone to #IBNS2025 next summer regardless, but with a symposium programme like this, it is a no-brainer!

Very excited about this one! And proud of @curranalfaro.bsky.social for co-chairing/speaking alongside an exciting line up - @ejgloverlab.com, @mtorregrossa1.bsky.social and Wolfgang Sommer - on "Maladaptive behavioral strategies: Causes and consequences of drug exposure"

I am THRILLED to be speaking at IBNS this year! Norway has been on my bucket list for years 🇳🇴

The IBNS program in Tromsø June 2025 is coming together, and it’s looking amazing! 🎉 We’ve got some fantastic symposia lined up—curious to see what’s planned? Check it out here: www.ibnsconnect.org/2025-symposia 🧠✨ #IBNS2025 #Neuroscience

Congrats to Elisabeth Bik on receiving the Einstein Foundation Individual Award! 👏 award.einsteinfoundation.de/award-winner...

The best thing about this influx on Bluesky is that I get to know so many more neuroscientists than I ever did before! It is a real pleasure to meet you all! Looking forward to hear more about your science and to meet you in person at conferences!

Announcing a new open access textbook for entry level behavioral neuro. Funded by NSF. Written by a collection of 26 neuro experts. Method demonstration videos and author interviews too. Consider using it in your courses to reduce financial barriers to education. openstax.org/details/book...

Ready for the last gathering of this round of the Young Research Leader course at Solstrand in Bergen. A great program and a fantastic group of young Norwegian researchers! Looking forward already to the next round!

Now for the neurobiology of motivated behavior (broadly defined) starter pack! Again I have likely missed people so let me know if you want to be added (or removed)! The list is heavy on the rodent research (my bubble) #neuroscience #neuroskyence 🧠🧪 go.bsky.app/H6hvrBv

Long story about the nucleus accumbens in short: - Infusion of CRF, UCN3 or oxytocin antagonist in the shell impaired maternal aggression - Oxytocin release increased during maternal aggression 👇🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A starter pack! Some of my favorite women in neuroscience (sorry if I forgot you, I will add!) go.bsky.app/SCFmKoC

Great resource!

Time to consider joining IBNS in June 2025. Besides the exotic location in Norway above the polar circle, and thus the experience of midnight sun, we also have a wonderful program with exciting keynote speakers! 👇#neuroskyence #Tromsø

Modern food environments are driving obesity, but what is it about them that does this? Is it the content and types of food in modern diets? Or how easy it is to obtain low cost unhealthy food? We address these questions in mice in an updated pre-print: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I started making this brain and mind researchers starter pack before I realised the 150 account limit. So this is the first 150 people I added to it :) go.bsky.app/PaCWjEy
