Using tools—like shells and rocks—to open their often thick-shelled mollusk prey increases foraging success in sea otters and protects their teeth from damage by allowing them to eat prey that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. This week in Science: scim.ag/6YT

Congratulations to all BU Arts & Sciences newly tenured faculty, with a special shoutout to Associate Professor Steve Ramirez Ramirez (Center for Systems Neuroscience, Boston University, BU_Neurophotonics). READ MORE>>bu.edu/cas/sixteen-ca…

Congratulations Florencia Fernández Chiappe on being selected as a Pew Latin American Fellow!!!! 🦟🔬💫 pewtrusts.org/en/about/news-…

This is such an honor! Thank you The Pew Trusts for supporting Florencia Fernández Chiappe and me!

It was so much fun to organize this with (Ben) Matthews Lab Joerg T Albert and Marta Andrés ! We hope to see you all at the next one in 2 years!

Meet @briandepasquale, one of our remarkable junior faculty at BU BME. His lab uses machine learning, neural networks and dynamic systems to understand brain function. WATCH: youtu.be/8q856n_apmw

Prof. Steve Ramirez (Steve Ramirez, Center for Systems Neuroscience, Boston University, BU_Neurophotonics) is unlocking the mysteries of memory. His team examines the cell networks that store memories in the hippocampus, a complex brain structure found in the temporal lobe. READ>>bu.edu/cas/arts-scien…

"Nothing in vector biology makes sense except in the light of VectorBase... and now the lights are going out. 💡🔌 #SaveVectorBase

The NEIDL Boston University is hiring! I hope there will be some great vector biologists in the applicant pool (they have all the resources you could dream of to study insect transmission) Please RT Vector Biology Jobs Bloodsucking Parasites GlobalVectorHub

Great talk from Elizabeth “Betty” Hong from Caltech on “Olfaction in Drosophila through the lens of natural odors” in yesterday’s Center for Systems Neuroscience, Boston University seminar. Thanks to hosts Meg Younger and @briandepasquale!

This is going to be such an exciting year, we are bringing some amazing faculty from all over the world. 6 weeks of hands on neuroscience. Improve your technical expertise, expand your scientific network, hear cutting edge science, and make friends for life!

In partnership with @Pewtrusts, we are supporting the Latin American Fellows program, which helps early-career biomedical scientists receive postdoctoral training + the resources they need to start a lab in their home country czi.co/3Z5gPhV

Finally setting up a Bluesky account. Same handle without the underscore megyounger.bsky.social

Dear all, please advertise the International Chemical Ecology course to your students! It will run from June 23 to July 4 2025 at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany. Please find more infos at events.gwdg.de/e/ice2025 Cheers, Markus

🧠 Could positive memories be antidotes to neurological disorders and cognitive decline? Pew biomedical scholar and Boston University professor Steve Ramirez is studying the mechanisms of learning and memory to determine just that. pewtrsts.org/42vEDvG
