We tracked mice in space!
This video shows our estimate of their self-induced centripetal force during circling in 3D 👩🚀

On this day dedicated to animals in laboratories, I thank the animals that make it possible to advance science
I pledge to work with them compassionately and responsibly ❤️
I also thank my lab and institute team who share my commitment to ethical science 🙏. I am proud of what we accomplish together

1/ New preprint! 🧪With @talmo.bsky.social and team, we used deep learning on archival NASA video of mice on the ISS. Turns out mice in microgravity become tiny acrobats: huddling to sleep, doing backflips, even briefly generating their own ~1g. #SpaceBiology #OpenScience #NASA #SLEAP
Job alert! We are seeking a rodent in vivo electrophysiologist to work on coordination between anterior thalamus and hippocampus in rats using Neuropixels. Beautiful Scotland, leading university (Glasgow) and vibrant intellectual setting. Post is 23 months but hopefully extensible. Details here 👇
Am I alone in finding the UK Home Office ASPEL form completely and utterly not fit for purpose? I could have run and published an entire experiment in the time it's taken me to get my licence application through the multiple rounds of editing required 😡
