I wrote down my rules on how to Science. I hope you find it useful!

Eines haben sie alle gemeinsam: die Leidenschaft für ihre Forschung ✨🧪🌎 Ein herzliches Willkommen an alle zwölf neu berufenen Max-Planck-Direktorinnen! Damit steigt der Anteil von Wissenschaftlerinnen in Führungspositionen erneut 🤩 mpg.de/24147695/mehr-… #IDWGS2025

Mario Wullimann's and my article on the genetic architecture of the zebrafish diencephalon (2024) is one of the top viewed article in JCN. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… #TopViewedArticle Wiley in research

Max Planck President Patrick Cramer Patrick Cramer has written an open letter to the President of Harvard University, expressing his full support to the University & its stance against demands from the Trump administration to change its policies in order to retain federal funding

Qing Wang and I wrote a little commentary on a new paper by Julie Semmelhack and her team. Eat, flee, freeze: Division of labor in the larval zebrafish visuomotor system | PNAS pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

Nature research paper: Light-microscopy-based connectomic reconstruction of mammalian brain tissue go.nature.com/42MnD5S

An important addition to the Nature paper, beyond what was shown in the 2024 preprint, is 12 rounds of iterative imaging and sectioning of a LICONN volume, achieving 205 microns in axial extent (native scale) with manual tracing of axons: nature.com/articles/s4158…

The #ShawPrize in Life Science & Medicine 2025 is awarded to Wolfgang Baumeister for his pioneering development & use of cryo-ET, an imaging technique that enables 3D visualisation of biological samples as they exist in their natural cellular settings.

The peer-reviewed version of expansion in situ genome sequencing is now out in Science! The news is bittersweet – when we first revealed this last September, I never guessed it would be my final paper in academia, but a lot has changed. A few parting thoughts:

Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & for myself, expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry work to the service

Preprint Alert! How does the brain distinguish different types of optic flow? We combined CaMPARI2 labeling with single-cell RNA-seq (CaMPARI-seq) to dissect visual circuits in zebrafish. Read the full study here 👉 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Our latest work is out today in Neuron . Using voltage imaging, we clarified how serotonergic neurons compute action effectiveness during learning behavior. With Ravid Haruvi, Ziqiang Wei and Misha Ahrens sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🧪Researchers, led by Takashi Kawashima Ziqiang Wei & Misha Ahrens, are decoding how neurons carry out computations carefully calibrated to an animal’s movement & environment to precisely regulate the release of neuromodulators. janelia.org/news/new-resea…

Thank you, our dear friends, for the warm words and offer to help. Weizmann was hit by a missile last night- a real nightmare😭. Thank God no one is hurt, but there’s significant damage to many labs. I’m stuck abroad, waiting desperately to be able to go home to my family and lab

Horrific - rockets on the Weizmann institute, a close ally with many scientist friends. Our thoughts are with you!! Weizmann Institute Max Planck Society
