Ill be talking about this at our symposium at SfN on Monday at 2, along with an amazing array of other ventral hippocampus investigations! See you there!

Doubling up a few others - UK you don't need a masters, but it's very competitive (at UCL it's about 1-5%) so either proper lab experience or a masters is really helpful. My advice would be to reach out to pis that you are interested in working for and ask for advice about programs and requirements!

The story — written by journalist @emmaanne.bsky.social — raises tough questions about the perverse incentives at play in mine action.

Questionable incentives
Why is the CEO of the world’s largest demining organisation defending banned landmines?

Similar to posts before - doing this in a 'many lines of evidence' approach too is probably ideal - no one golden expt. Just a series of thought out experiments designed to test the limits of a theory, each adding weight to the next.

Was thinking of a way to say something similar as eloquently as this! I think it needs travel in both directions - actively trying to find testable hypotheses that support (and don't support) a theory is key

Yep we use this one - there was another but it got bought by millipore and discontinued.... Zzz

Depending on what your 'standard' is - Columbia rd flower market followed by hackney city farm is always a nice Sunday time!

apply! its a fantastic, collaborative and energetic department investigating physiology and neuroscience across scales - based in beautiful UCL in London

Obviously expertise in research areas that fall within our strategic priorities of engineering biology and artificial intelligence are also particularly encouraged

Expertise at the cellular and molecular levels are particularly encouraged. We are interested in applications from outstanding researchers in modalities such as targeted protein degraders, protein-protein interaction disruptors, therapeutic antibodies, or de novo protein design.
