Understanding brain asymmetry | Wellcome youtu.be/DR6yoFLc2tY?si… via YouTube

We know there are differences between the left and right sides of the brain, known as brain asymmetry.

But it’s not yet clear how or why this comes about.

Stephen Wilson and ibianco from UCL aim to find answers, with support from our Discovery Research Awards ⤵️

Well worth listening to this interview with The Crick 's Paul Nurse on The Rest Is Politics

Great to hear Paul's passion for the cultural & economic position of science

And his anger at UK's Horizon Europe🇪🇺 dithering & incompetence of gov during the pandemic

Mood music around UK and #HorizonEurope not good, according to Lisa O'Carroll The Guardian

Please note, Rishi Sunak and Michelle Donelan MP, it's dispiriting to those of us trying to maintain international momentum in UK science

New episode ⁦The Rest Is Politics⁩ LEADING Rory Stewart⁩ and I talk to the brilliant Nobel Prize winning scientist Paul Nurse. Amazing back story. Fabulous mind. And choice views on politics! Pics 3/4 thanks to Billy - it was his idea to get PN. alastaircampbell.org

12th European Zebrafish Meeting 2023 #EZM2023
IMPORTANT sustainability audit initiative.
All zebrafish labs should take part. It takes little of your time and will have great impact. You do not need to be part of IZFS to participate.
JUST DO IT!

A few years ago, we Sauka-Spengler Lab wondered if Ac/Ds transposition could be harnessed to perform transient, F0 experiments in #zebrafish . We ended up with a toolkit to express enhancers, and sgRNAs for CRISPR...pleased that this story has now found a home with Biology Open #OpenAccess

Massive congratulations to Christopher!! 🎉 UCL is so fortunate to have amazing technical staff like you and Han Wu, and all others who do incredible work #HETS2023 #PapinPrizes

Very excited to be starting my new lab at the SWC. Will be looking for PhD students and Postdocs - more details soon!

Interested in discovering the rules for how cells make decisions in complex signalling environments?

Post-doc positions available in my group in London. Please apply by 30th June.

We are delighted to announce that Tim Behrens (Tim Behrens) has joined SWC as a Group Leader. Find out more about his research on how brains learn and represent knowledge about the world to enable flexible behaviours: sainsburywellcome.org/web/research-n…
