There are still a few days left to apply for the San Juan Winter School on Connectomics and Brain Simulation!

Apply by October 24th! sjcabs.com

The Shanahan Fellowship is a unique PostDoc opportunity at the intersection of Neuroscience and Data Science. If you are considering a PostDoc in this area, I encourage you to apply!

Applications are open! And due by Dec 1st

To celebrate the first anniversary of the release of FlyWire, we asked nine neuroscientists to share how they are using connectome data in their research and what they hope is in store for the future of fly connectomics.

Thank you, Davi!

Excited to share more widely: I am starting the Dorkenwald Lab at MIT (McGovern Institute + BCS) in January 2026. We study the organizational principles of neuronal circuits using connectomics.

And we are hiring postdocs & tech associates! dorkenwaldlab.com/join

Exciting news for #drosophila #connectomics and #neuroscience enthusiasts: the Drosophila male central nervous system connectome is now live for exploration. Find out more at the landing page hosted by our Janelia FlyEM collaborators www.janelia.org/project-team....
