In my previous post, embarrassingly I posted the wrong link for our collaborative paper with the group of Stefan Gründer on GABA-like receptors in Nematostella that turned out as Glutamate activated Chloride channels. Sorry for that. Here is the correct one:

Why does learning drop when tech enters the classroom? Because computers train kids to skim. Dr. Horvath warns that we are currently redefining education to fit our tools rather than designing tools to fit how our children actually learn.

Americans need to hear this. The administration wants to cripple NSF. It did so by firing all members of the NSB.
A significant amount of technological advances that we enjoy is traced back to NSF funding.
The NSF budget = 1/3rd of what the Iran war has cost us in 3 months.
It's not about $.🧪
Apply now to join us in December for our workshop "Rethinking Cell Differentiation and Development: A Unicellular Perspective". This will be an intimate meeting (30 people total) and we hope will be a great place to discuss this topic.
Was haben die Ozeane mit Österreich zu tun? 🌊
Ob Klimawandel, Artenvielfalt oder internationale Politik: Der Zustand unserer Meere beeinflusst unser Leben weit über die Küsten hinaus.
Beim 15. Umwelt im Gespräch im Naturhistorischen Museum Wien am 16.6. geht es genau um diese Frage!

We uncover a large variety of putative inhibitory ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) in the phylum Cnidaria, the sister group to all bilaterian animals. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a complex evolut....
Here’s the last major paper from the PhD of @paulknabl.bsky.social.
We were trying to understand what BMP signaling does in the sea anemone Nematostella when it is not patterning its second body axis. Check out Part 1 in BMC Biol. 2025; and here's is our Part 2

Bilaterian animals with centralized nervous systems have patterns of BMP signaling activity gradient that suggest an “anti-neural” ancestral role, but the evidence for this remains unclear. This study...
Thrilled to share that our preprint has been accepted in Science Advances! Grateful to an incredible team & collaborators.

Ctenophores possess a unique aboral organ that acts as a multisensory center, controlling complex behaviors. We’ve now created a ctenophore model integrated with our 3D volume EM data. Puts it into perspective.
