Huge congratulations to the Developmental Neurobiology Academy team, who recently won the award for Integrated Education, Research and Service at the 2025 King’s Engaged Research Awards! 🏆
The paper is out in journal format at EJN! We thank the reviewers for their insightful comments, and how they shaped the final form of this story. Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
As usual, it's open access! We're getting the data ready for sharing very soon 👀🧠🧪
Open Research Award winner Professor @grubblabneuro.bsky.social speaks on the benefits of making science as open as possible, and tips and tricks to make the process smoother. #IoPPNFestival
Another successful Ephys Club! Pizza 🍕, refreshments 🥤 and an amazing talk from Laura Fedele, who set up a rig all by herself and managed to get successful recordings from iPSCs all in less than a year!
Thanks to our sponsor Scientifica for making it possible!
Tiny ribbons, big role: In zebrafish, sensory hair cells use stable microtubules and kinesin motors to build and position ribbon synapses, structures that keep signals flowing in hearing and balance.

Today we ran our first Sustainability Party in the CDN to kick off our My Green Lab campaign!! Over the next few months we'll be introducing sustainability initiatives in the department that aim to reduce the climate impact of the work we do. Let's go! 🌍🧪🔬
Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.”
When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything!

We have *another* preprint! This work was led by the amazing Candida Tufo, ex-PhD student in the lab.
We show that adult-born dopaminergic cells in the olfactory bulb rapidly functionally resemble their pre-existing counterparts!

We're on our way to UKSN! Our very own @emily-winson.bsky.social is speaking today in the physiology session, and will bring some fresh-out-of-the oven data! 👀🧠
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.
Olfaction geeks, come to Cambridge next month for a 30yrs old cross-disciplinary smell chat from philosophy to clinics to circuits 🧠👃
