No mouse evolved to press a lever. So some labs are letting mice be mice to glean more nuanced lessons about brain & behaviour. My latest for @nature nature.com/articles/d41586-0… feat @IshmailSaboor @Antihebbiann @Datta_Lab @TrackingActions @SWC_Neuro Branco lab @Vivekdna @NIMHgov

🚨 Journalist job alert! 🚨
@Nature is hiring a life sciences reporter to join its news team. You'll work with me and some amazing colleagues. Ideally you'll work in DC or NYC and you'll be exhilarated by biology. #scicomm #journalismjobs

Credit also to Ben Thompson @JacquesHughes for reporting this with us and co-producing the podcast, and HUGE thanks to @dozenoaks and @danbose for letting us pester them for 3 years
Kerri Smith @minikerri together with Heidi Ledford and Richard Van Noorden have won the ABSW Award 'Feature of the Year - Specialist' category for their powerful look at the struggles of two researchers as they navigate the pandemic, published in @Nature: nature.com/immersive/d41586-…
The brain has its own cadre of special immune cells, patrolling its borders and sensing threats from inside and out. Great update from @DianaMKwon on the latest from this hot field nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
How difficult is it really to start your very own lab? Our new podcast mini-series, recorded over 3 years, tells the story of two UK scientists @dozenoaks and @danbose as they try to do just that. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
In 2018, when we started following @dozenoaks and @danbose, we thought it would be for a year tops. Three years and one pandemic later - with huge thanks to them for their time and candour - here’s their story nature.com/immersive/d41586-…

In 2018, two scientists let Nature reporters chronicle their lives as they launched their first labs. We all had no idea of the global and personal crises to come. Here's their story, with many thanks to @danbose and @dozenoaks for their generosity. nature.com/immersive/d41586-…

Here it is: My @NatureNews feature in which they finally let me quote someone swearing ;)
But also, it's about a specialized group of researchers with one of the fastest reactions to the #COVID19 outbreak of any scientific group
Stopping the pandemic could rely on breakneck efforts to visualize SARS-CoV-2 proteins and use them to design drugs and vaccines. ift.tt/2T8xjU1

My colleagues and I have been working for months on a special issue about adolescents. It touches on how they are often harshly and unfairly characterized. I wish it didn't feel so poignant to finally publish it. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Defend yourself against frizz and every worldly heresy which dares to assert itself
RT @richvn: I'm writing about the science that never gets any citations. Any researchers out there fret about their uncited science? Let me know - I'd love to hear your stories!
