Two really exciting #neuroskyence @camneuro.bsky.social conferences coming up in #Cambridge this year. Firstly, April 8th sees our annual 1-day seminar: "Expanding the Horizons of Brain Research" neuroscience.cam.ac.uk/camneuro-eve...

Nice to not need a headlamp any more: πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ = βœ…

Out through Coton this morning: πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ = βœ…

Should be fun events @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social

Happy #Caturday 😺😺😺

Our Seminar Series talk is this Friday, at 16:00! Our speaker is Dr Alecia-Jane Twigger, Cambridge Lactation Lab, University of Cambridge. Her talk is on Milk it! The Cambridge Lactation Lab Vision 🍼 More info here: bit.ly/3S4p4Ww #Seminar #Pharmacology #Cambridge

Some great #PainResearch here πŸ‘‡

Bit of a head cold & so took it easy, hopefully managed to 🦠 πŸ”¨: πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ = βœ…

Happy #Caturday 😺😺😺

Been a long week without much sleep & legs rather dead, hence the rather poor pace, but the main thing is πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ = βœ…

Looking forward to welcoming @spinalcordgroup.bsky.social’s @davehughesgla.bsky.social to talk about all things spinal πŸ˜€ #neuroskyence #PainResearch

πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬To celebrate International Women and Girls in Science Day yesterday, our team interviewed Dr Catherine Wilson! We chatted to her about a range of topics surrounding being a Woman in Pharmacology - read her interview here: bit.ly/3COpzjZ #Interview #Pharmacology #Women #Cambridge

Bit of a grey start to the day, but πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ = βœ…

Really not sure what to make of everything NIH related at the moment - so many WTAFs while following things online the last few days…sending strength & unity to all those affected right now! #academicsky #neuroskyence

Bit murky out this morning & not the best preparation, but February’s half marathon πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ = βœ…

Happy #Caturday 😺😺😺

Cool & breezy out this morning: Friday short πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ= βœ…

Good to be back out & fully purge last week’s 🦠, lovely morning for it: πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ = βœ…

Been a bit quiet of late due to a fun little 🦠 , but this came out just ahead of Friday’s last final year undergrad lecture on pain, screenshotted the FDA announcement to conclude that studying pain mechanisms does lead to new therapies πŸ˜€ #PainResearch #neuroskyence www.bbc.com/news/article...

1/5 Are you interested in the role of Nav1.9 in AP generation? And what do all the other #sodiumchannels do in the nociceptor? In a study led by the MD student Phil KΓΆster in the lab, we performed manual patch clamp on all Navs known to be expressed in sensory neurons. Nav1.1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9.

Happy #Caturday 😺😺😺

Ish's outstanding work entitled: "Persistent changes in the dorsal root ganglion nociceptor translatome governs hyperalgesic priming in mice: roles of GPR88 and Meteorin" is now online in PAIN journals.lww.com/pain/fulltex...

Nice out this morning, just wish I wasn’t feeling this tired on a Wednesday, but πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ = βœ…

Great #neuroskyence opportunities for those interested in kicking off an exciting career in the field of the neurocircuitry of spatial orientation πŸ‘‡

Wonderfully fresh morning down along the river Cam this morning: πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ = βœ… = πŸ˜ƒ

Happy #Caturday 😺😺😺

Position at University of New Mexico in Anesthesiology: unm.csod.com/ux/ats/caree... I know that their surgery team has setup human DRG recovery and they are keen on an electrophysiologist who can help them to grow their work in human nociceptor neurobiology.

Application deadline for 3 #neuroskyence / #PainResearch positions in our group is in 1-week - more info. πŸ‘‡

Very windy out + heavy legs = not a good combination, but Friday short πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ = βœ…
