The neuroscience community has lost a dear friend and mentor. Ed Kravitz passed away on Sunday, September 21, 2025.

Here he is this past summer speaking with (and making margaritas for) the 2025 Grass Fellows, as he's done for more than two decades.

Rest in peace.

Now accepting applications for the 2026 Grass Fellowship!

Do you have a great idea for a project you can do next summer in the Grass Lab at the @mblscience.bsky.social?

Get working on that proposal!

Birds have a structure called the lumbosacral organ at the base of their spinal column, and we don't know yet what it does. But 2024 Grass Fellow Hannah Martin wanted to be among the first to investigate its neurons in detail.

It's going to be a great summer with this group!

Looking for some good news today?

We have eight inspiring early-career scientists heading to @mblscience.bsky.social to spend the summer conducting research on topics ranging from pain sensation in sharks to ocean acidification and behavior in sea slugs.

With all their complexity in a tiny transparent package, could tardigrades be a useful organism for neuroscientists to study as they unravel the many mysteries of the brain?

@tardi-neuro.bsky.social thinks it’s time tardigrades have their moment!

She investigated how gliding tree frogs differ from their non-gliding tree frog cousins. She also looked at terrestrial frogs, and even alligators for comparisons. grassfoundation.org/how-gliding-...

What is it like to do a Grass Fellowship at @mblscience.bsky.social, spending a summer doing intensive research in this amazing community of scientists?

For early-career researchers like Andrea Gaede, it's a boost of enthusiasm!

🐸 How do gliding tree frogs see the world?

➡️ What are the mechanisms of their visual motion processing?

➡️ How do they make the split-second decisions?

➡️ What can this tell us about the evolution of neural systems?
