I'm sorry but this year it should be called "Lobby Universities, Funders and Governments To Actually Give a Damn About Postdocs Week" here's why... ⬇️

Call is open for papers/reviews on the Research Topic: "Regional and Time-specific Strategies of Neurogenesis and Neuronal Differentiation Across Evolution" in Frontiers - Neuroscience Frontiers - Cell Biology Please RT! More info👉🏾frontiersin.org/research-topic…

Our latest review from the lab! doi.org/10.1002/dneu.2… Great job everyone! Dr. Rosie Griffiths Helen Marshall DrFetit Excellent supervision from John Mason & David Price as always. Congratulations to Helen Marshall for her first paper with the lab!

I’ll be presenting some of our #organoid work tomorrow at #BNA2021 10:20-11:20am! Modelling the Role of PAX6 in Neural Induction using early stage cortical organoids - Pre-registration Poster PP001136. Please come along if you’re around! 🧠🔬

Loving all the single cell stuff in organoids…BUT… Please please show me the organoids. If your organoids look bad, then the data won’t be good. Repeat after me people: Quality👏control👏is👏key!

The UK is planning on massively increasing visa costs. Currently a researcher looking at a 5-year Global Talent Visa, together with their partner and two children, needs to find £13.4k. All up front. A big ask. But that’s now slated to increase to… **£20.9k**

We extend our studies in understanding the role of PAX6 in neurodevelopment using human cerebral organoids! Similar to mice, PAX6 loss results in ectopic inhibitory neurons but data indicates possible species-specific differences. Short report⬇️ biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Interested in using organoids to model neurodevelopmental disorders for your PhD? Find out how the transcription factor PAX6 influence neural connectivity in collaboration with the awesome @sambookerlab. Please apply or DM me! sidb.org.uk/phds/booker-ph…

Less than a week left for the applications to close!😊 All the best to the prospective students👍 Wellcome #neuroscience #PhDposition #research #fundedphd

Helen Marshall’s thesis "Investigating the Role of PAX6 During Neurodevelopment Using Human Stem Cell-Derived Brain Organoids" was supervised by David Price & John Mason at CDBS Edinburgh. I learned a lot examining it with Tom Pratt yesterday at The University of Edinburgh.

We are looking for a bioinformatician to work on an exciting project! Retweets appreciated.

A week left to apply!

We have open positions for a postdoc and a research assistant in the beautiful city of Edinburgh at the UK Dementia Research Institute! Reach out if you want to know more about either of the positions!

🚨We're hiring!! 📢 We are looking for a postdoc to study the impact of astrocyte pathologies in iPSC models of FTD-tau. Come join us! 👇👇👇 tinyurl.com/3em7ub25 UK Dementia Research Institute Edinburgh Neuroscience
