What is open science? 🤔

To celebrate #OpenScienceWeek, we're sharing why we give away our data, protocols, and resources to everyone.

Featuring our #openscience friends at @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social, NASA, @addgene.bsky.social, and NIH.
🧬 Evolution meets neuroscience at #SfN25!

Learn how multi-omics approaches are revealing how evolution acts on cell types, underpinning neural circuitry and behavior changes across diverse species.

A question that has plagued neuroscientists since Cajal is: What defines a cell type?

TOMORROW at #SfN25, a panel of experts will discuss the pros and cons of taxonomies and community-driven efforts to develop a unified framework. 🧠📈

In the lab, we're all TFAM.

Our #CellLineOfTheWeek is mitochondrial transcription factor A or TFAM! 🧫✨

This cell line and plasmid illuminates mitochondrial nucleoids - clusters of DNA within the mitochondria.
