now that the full version is out, the graphical abstract needed an update... here you go.
Now published - the #BANC! A full central nervous system (CNS) connectome of a limbed animal at single-synapse resolution, enabling us to follow sensory-motor arcs and understand how the CNS controls the body. rdcu.be/fncjS. #neuroscience. Video by @quorumetrix.bsky.social 1/18

Together with Daniel Münch @dahaniel.muench.bio, we contributed a review about complex neural processing across phyla - and how this allows adaptions to a dynamic environment. Enjoy reading!

In our new TREE paper, with M. Borgerhoff Mulder, S. Brosnan and E. Strauss we show that power in animal societies can be subject to control. When high-powered individuals use aggression to gain better access to resources, other group members can respond with "levelling".

Over the past year, @biologyopen.bsky.social has expanded its Fast & Fair initiative to accelerate peer review. The results are impressive - take a look at their latest preprint to find out more: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Doing a linear stretch on these images shows how dramatic the "edits" were, revealing the deception in clear terms.
This should be a complete scandal for Thermo Fisher and more people in the biosciences should be talking about it.
The #ThermoFisher #antibody scandal is an ugly reminder, I think, of how few people (including those at TF, it seems) are trained to properly validate antibodies before use. Some advice on antibody validation in the posting 👇

Spontaneous problem-solving in bumble bees.
Amazing work by the bees who were put in these puzzling situations by @akshayebhambore.bsky.social in the lab of @olliloukola.bsky.social

Antibodies are essential and ubiquitous tools in biology, but their unguarded usage can easily lead to error. Here’s how to validate their specificity, and ensure that they’re hitting the rig…
The @biologists.bsky.social @dev-journal.bsky.social 2025 PI fellows had their first peer group meeting post our meet up in Cambridge 🎉🤗.
It was great to catch up - having people at a similar career stage to talk to is actually pretty powerful. 💪🏻🫶🏻
