Independent NeuroScience Services INSS was registered as a company on 14th November 2016, which means it's our 9th birthday today! As a birthday present we've treated ourselves to an SfN exhibitor booth for the first time ever. Come and say hello at Booth #3327

For the first time ever, INSS will have a booth at SfN this year. Please come and say hello at Booth #3327
Would be lovely to see some familiar faces!

Fantastic work (as always) from Che-Hang Yu and colleagues in Spencer LaVere Smith's lab. Very neat method to increase scan speed and/or FOV in 2p microscopy. Commercially available from @pacificoptica.bsky.social. I'd love to build this for a client at some point! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I've been working with Class 4 lasers for 25 years and I have yet to meet someone who gets genuinely excited about laser safety risk assessments. Thanks to artificial intelligence you can now create a pep talk from two artificially excited narrators to prepare you for the dullest of tasks 😂

My wife found this Christmas tree stand in my parents' basement. It's a Kalliope Gloriosa stand with integrated music box, manufactured in 1904. The principle of using a perforated disc to pluck tuned lamellae to produce musical notes was patented in 1885 by Paul Lochmann.
