Better version of the meme.
The joke is, Nature is the one killing null results, but blaming scientists.

What a fantastic #Glia2025 meeting! I had a great time with the GVU team for my first dip in the international glial community, lots of great discussions and inspiring encounters in sunny Marseille ☀️ can't wait for the next one!

We are seeking a high profile, dynamic and innovative researcher. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in the application of cutting edge computational methods to understand the brain mechanisms (at the cellular, circuits and/or behavioral levels) associated with psychiatric disorders.

‪In solidarity with scientists and academics working in the United States, Argentina, and all countries where academic freedom is under threat.
Today, French scientists and citizens rally in more that 30 cities #StandUpForScience
@standupforscience.bsky.social
@cdelawalla.bsky.social
Dear all, The Stand Up For Science movement has gained exceptional momentum in France. This Friday, March 7, we will have the opportunity to collectively express our solidarity with scientists and academics working in the United States, Argentina, and all countries where academic freedom is under threat. We hope to bring them strength as they wake up to see that mobilization is already widespread here, with around fifty events taking place in thirty cities. Tomorrow’s marches and rallies will also be an opportunity to stand together against the threats facing public research and universities here as well. Stand Up For Science was born from the momentum of the scientists and citizens who joined it. It is now up to us to turn it into a lasting movement in the weeks ahead. There is much to be done: welcoming scientists and academics forced into exile, securing scientific data and results, driving the necessary changes to confront democratic, social, climate, ecological, and health crises, and lifting knowledge-producing and knowledge-sharing institutions out of financial distress. On March 7, let us rise for science—and then, let us remain standing.

🔴 #StandUpForScience : mobilisons-nous le 7 mars 2025 !

Des marches pour défendre les sciences comme piliers de la démocratie vont déferler ce vendredi dans les villes universitaires de France.

L’AFSP appelle les politistes à se mobiliser massivement !

It's finally out! 🎉
The first paper from my PhD about the role of planar cell polarity in DG-CA3 connectivity is in Progress in Neurobiology. Check it out to learn more about the PCP protein Vangl2 and its role in mossy fiber synaptic morphogenesis 🧠🔬 Very proud of this work and everyone involved!
The correct connectivity of the DG-CA3 circuits involved in declarative memory processes depends on Vangl2-dependent planar cell polarity signaling
In the hippocampus, dentate gyrus granule cells connect to CA3 pyramidal cells via their axons, the mossy fibers (Mf). The synaptic terminals of Mfs (…

Is neuroscience research really working to understand the human brain? Or do we get lost in mouse cognition? I’ve asked myself this a lot since starting to work with human tissue. Our first Jonas Lab foray into untangling human hippocampal circuits is now online! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 1/a few
Human hippocampal CA3 uses specific functional connectivity rules for efficient associative memory
Human hippocampal CA3 networks use sparse and broad synaptic connectivity, and their recurrent synapses employ reliability, precision, and long integration times to enhance memory capacity. Thus, the human hippocampus is distinct from both rodent counterparts and human neocortical circuits.
