The Kebschull and @kalhorlab labs are recruiting a joint postdoc for an exciting project at the interface of phylodynamics and neuroscience. Come join us @JHUBME. Spread the word, and contact us if you are interested. #hiring

The Tschida Lab is keen to recruit a new PhD student in this upcoming cycle. We are on the hunt for students interested in the neural circuits that regulate vocal communication and other social behaviors. Happy to chat more with interested students! Please RT!

We can't win on defending a broken system.
Listen to more Pod Save America wherever you get your podcasts.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.

New from @katieschro8 @HealeyLab in @J_Exp_Biol, report that in zebra finches, brain cells in forebrain auditory areas are already selectively tuned to conspecific song before the sensitive period
Nice use of cross fostering w/Bengalese finches
journals.biologists.com/jeb/…
ALT Box and whisker plots with raw data points on top comparing baseline firing rates in two forebrain areas, Field L and NCM, across three groups, normal, cross fostered, and isolate. Firing rates are lowest in normal group

Happy insanity of chronic Neuropixels recordings in songbirds. Reveals some interesting cross-areal dynamics. First of the manuscripts from this side of the ocean! #Neuroscience #Songbird #sleep #Neuropixels
