My second paper as a postdoc in the lab of @tiffmschmidt.bsky.social is out!
In this work, we developed a novel behavioral paradigm to study how light shapes long-term threat avoidance 🐭🦅 through a retina–thalamic–limbic circuit 👁️🧠
Excited to share it! 🙌🏼

Really cool! Congrats Ruchi, Samer and all the team!!!
A new paper from my lab. I will have a full description soon. rdcu.be/eX1Ld
Finally out! We studied the retinas of the longest-living vertebrate, the Greenland shark, and found that the retinas remain remarkably healthy in animals around 150 years old. What is the mechanism? It may be a highly efficient DNA repair system. Enjoy!

Fantastic symposium at an incredible institute!✨
My job: studying how light shapes behavior.
His job: saving the world.

Delighted to share our latest preprint. It's been a long time coming. Thanks to all the authors for their unique contribution and for for their patience. We show how the visual thalamus deals with active and passive head motion in freely moving animals: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
This is really cool, congrats!
Thank you for the invitation @weillcornell.bsky.social! Fantastic discussions and inspiring colleagues!
We’re hiring! Join the Sivyer Lab at The University of Sydney as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Neurodegeneration within the Snow Vision Accelerator, a $50M initiative tackling glaucoma and optic nerve disease. iPSCs, electrophysiology, drug discovery, and gene therapy.
Excited to share our paper now published in Cell!

Yay! Congrats Chiara and team 🎉
Two new papers to... er... skeet? Blurt? Bluert?
First is that our paper on the transcription factor Adnp and the ChAHP chromatin remodelling complex is now out.
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
I already blurted the paper here: bsky.app/profile/pier...
Our latest paper is out! While the circadian photoentrainment circuit has been extensively studied, the mechanisms regulating its development remain poorly understood. Here we show that retinal Müller glia play a key role in this process. Check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Faculty Position in Anatomy, Physiology & Cell Biology We are seeking an outstanding integrative physiologist (broadly defined) for the position of Assistant Professor (tenure track) to join our faculty in the Department of Anatomy, Physiology, and Cell Biology in the School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM), UC Davis. Our department is a highly integrated group of faculty studying molecular, cellular, physiological, and pathophysiological mechanisms of health and disease. The candidate should have an active research program that focuses on interdisciplinary physiology research using state-of- the-art approaches. We welcome research which diversifies our expertise, and/or that which complements existing strengths in gastrointestinal, neuroimmune, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory systems as well as developmental biology. Candidates are expected to expand access to education and provide opportunities in research for students, trainees, and the community across various life and professional experiences. • Candidates must possess a PhD and postdoctoral experience in physiology or a related field. • Aptitude/experience in teaching broad-based physiology or functional anatomy to professional or graduate students. • Experience with grant writing. • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and a demonstrated ability to work cooperatively and collegially within a diverse community.

Finally, we demonstrate that these genetic programs are essential for ipRGC-driven behaviors, linking molecular identity to function ☀️/🌛👁️🌈
BRN3B also shapes the morphological features that distinguish ipRGC subtypes!
