I just found this stub in a jacket that I guess I have not worn in twenty three years? 12 bucks for Lali Puna, sweat and spit and all, at the (tiny) Middle East downstairs on Mass Ave. Those were the days. So so good.

Maybe check out the associated website. icg-explorer.org. I know I know, it's not fully integrated with ICG1, but these things are difficult.

🚨Big news!🚨
The lab is relocating to Lisbon, joining a great team of experimental and theoretical neuroscientists, and the Neurotechnology Warehouse, a new initiative to bridge basic and translational research.
I'll be sharing postdoc openings soon. Come join us in this new incarnation of the lab!

Some addendum here. The '17 elife paper only has 43 citations in 8 years :( but the associated ionchannelmodels.org had 900+ unique visitors in 2024. Some 180 of them used the "compare ion channel models" function, pretty deep into the page. Every two days someone used a service we didn't advertise!

Neuronal diversity is written in transcriptional codes 🧬. But what is the logic of these codes that define cell types and wiring patterns?
To find out we built a #scRNAseq developmental atlas of the Drosophila nerve cord and linked it to the #connectome 🪰🧠

I now had a chance to listen to it and it’s not entirely terrible. Gaute’s voice is actually quite soothing and his questions are good. You might not immediately die while listening to this. Thanks @gauteeinevoll.bsky.social for cutting out all the bits that would’ve gotten me fired.

What if there were grants for which a funder phrases a (well constrained) question to be answered, and the cash they will pay for the answer, and P.I.'s lay out a concrete action plan + a narrative track record that argues their appropriate expertise? They can also ask for more cash, if necessary.
