The Leading Edge Fellows gathered this week to celebrate Zara Weinberg, a beloved member of our community. Our 7th cohort of Leading Edge Fellows (2026) will be named in her honor.

The Zara Weinberg Leading Edge Cohort application is now open! Due Feb 2.

The Agrawal lab is moving! This January we will be setting up shop at #UBC in Vancouver, in the department of #Zoology! We are actively recruiting at all levels, especially masters and PhD students. These position are #funded! Please send anyone interested my way!

This is science made 100% in Argentina at IBioBA-CONICET-MPSP with support from CONICET, Exactas_UBA, @cziscience.bsky.social, SAN_NeuroAr and y’all. Science faces tough times, let's stand for evidence, together💪 doi.org/10.1016/j.is...

The forced oscillator theory not only fits but also predicts features such as: “neurons of different type may present lags in their oscillations”. So @lforencia.bsky.social did lots of very difficult patch recording of LNv pairs 🙌, and found exactly that! (4/7)

Are #Drosophila accessory medulla neurons oscillating coherently? Out today @cp-iscience.bsky.social “Neuronal Synchronization in Drosophila”, featuring DUAL patch clamp recordings from the great @lforencia.bsky.social and impeccable theory by oscillation experts Marcos Wappner & Luis Morelli (1/7)

Fantastic science from Argentina 🇦🇷 @lforencia.bsky.social in the @muraronara.bsky.social Lab nails it with dual patch recordings in Drosophila, revealing coherent, input-driven oscillations in the accessory medulla.

Beautiful work from a brilliant team.

Thanks Caro !!! 💓

Super-resolution imaging in whole cells and tissues via DNA-PAINT on a spinning disk confocal with optical photon reassignment - Nature Communications Zaza and colleagues demonstrate that DNA-PAINT on a spinning disk confocal microscope with optical photon reassignment enables high-resolution imaging across large fields and imaging depths, resolving...

Can we break past the usual limits of #SuperResolution #Microscopy—achieving deep-imaging, high-res, large FOV imaging without the trade-offs?
🧬🔬 YES: with #DNA_PAINT + Spinning Disk Confocal + Optical Photon Reassignment (#SDC-OPR)!

Thanks Corinna 💕💕💕💕💕💕

Gracias Caro 💓

Gracias María !!!! 💓

I’m so honored and beyond excited to be part of this community 🚀

Thanks Tyler!!!

Way to go @lforencia.bsky.social! 🎉

So excited for @lforencia.bsky.social and all of the amazing fellows!!

Had such and interesting conversation with @lonelypipette.bsky.social and colleagues about the postdoc life — the ups, the downs, and all the in-betweens. Give it a listen! 🚀

Thanks @network-alba.bsky.social and @ibroorg.bsky.social
for the opportunity to share my experience and ideas!
