Job Alert!!! We are looking for a motivated postdoc to join a 3-year BBSRC funded project led by my colleague Carl Stevenson (I’m coPI). This multi-disciplinary project will combine in vivo heart rate monitoring and optogenetics with behavioural testing (fear and active avoidance) in rats.

Do you have experience turning amateur data analysis scripts into robust, scalable code? I’m hiring (hourly pay) to professionalize Python scripts for scientific data analysis, making them reusable across multiple datasets.
Tromsø/Norway-based candidates preferred, but all are welcome! DM me!

🚨New paper alert! We studied the long-term consequences of SSRI use during pregnancy on the offspring in rats in a seminatural environment. We found that perinatal FLX exposure significantly increases sexual behavior in adult male rats.

🧠📈 I had the privilege to attend #IBNSConnect conference in Tromsoe last week and it was fantastic. I presented data with the rescue behavior task and the role dorsal hippocampus play in the learning of this behavior. My former PhD supervisor presented my PhD data. I watched the sun *not* set.

Did I just go fishing at the Artic Circle during the midnight sun before the conference kicks in? Life as an academic got interesting 🫣🩷 #IBNS2025

I’m at IBNS in Tromso 🇳🇴 for #IBNS2025. First up Farida Sohrabji stroke is 5th leading cause of death in men but 3rd(!) in women!!! & one of the leading causes of AD. Pre-menopause fewer women have stroke but after 65 many more women have strokes than men.

The IBNS annual conference was held this year in Tromsø, Norway, above the Arctic Circle. Here's a photo of the participants at our symposium (number 1 :-), co-organized by Véronique Deroche-Gamonnet and Dana Conlisk. I'm also sharing some photos taken around Tromsø.
