Sneak peek of a figure I’m working on. Some micro-CT scans of three Aussie bees (Tetragonula carbonaria, Austroplebia australis and Amegilla pulchra), comparing the different parts of their brains. #entomology #phd #bees #science #science🧪 #neurobiology

Is healing too fast actually a problem? 🐟 Zebrafish can heal their own spinal cords, but researchers @beckergroup.bsky.social found a natural "brake." Remove it, and regeneration speeds up, but the fish struggle to fully recover. Read more ➡️ tud.link/wtvr33 #CMCBnews #regeneration #neurobiology

For those interested here’s the dissected bumblebee (Bombus terretris) brain, with my attempt to use my hand for reference. This brain is actually one of the largest bee brains I work with! #science #science🧪 #entomology #phd #neurobiology #biology #insect

Some more lab work today, counting the brain cells of some bumblebees! #science #entomology #science🧪 #bees #PhD

Big dendrite going up and splitting, axon going down to areas that impact behavior. It is a layer 5 thick tufted pyramidal neuron of the mouse cortex! The brain is populated by “infinite forms most beautiful”. Ramon y Cajal called them butterflies of the soul #neurobiology

New micro-CT scans of Aussie stingless bee, Austroplebeia australis. Showing their tiny, but impressive brains (but maybe I'm just bias). 🧪 #science #entomology #bees #wildoz #australia #insect #stinglessbees #phd #neurobiology

Visual difference between the largest bee brain I work with: Bombus terrestris and the smallest Tetragonula carbonaria. Sharpie for scale! #science #science🧪 #entomology #bees #neurobiology #phd

Brain cells from Megachile aurifrons, the Golden-browed resin bee! These bees have very distinct red eyes and just under 2 million brain cells. #science 🧪 #entomology #bees #nativebees #neurobiology

#10 from my Women in STEM series: Linda Buck #WomeninSTEM #biology #NoblePrize #neurobiology #academicsky

Linda Buck (born 1947) is an American biologist whose work on the olfactory system revolutionized neuroscience by uncovering how the brain encodes sensory information, particularly odors. After earning her Ph.D. in immunology from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in 1980, she collaborated with Richard Axel at Columbia University to discover a multigene family of odorant receptors, explaining how mammals detect a wide range of odors. Their research earned them the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2004. In 1991, Buck moved to Harvard, where her team revealed how odor receptors in the nose send signals to specific brain regions to form an odor map and how the cortex integrates these signals. Later, her lab identified receptors for taste and pheromones. In addition to the Nobel Prize, Buck has received numerous honors, including the Gairdner Award and an honorary doctorate from Harvard University.

How to make bee brain soup. A typical lab day for me, taking the dissected bee brain and turning it into a homogenised “soup”, staining it with DAPI and then counting it under a fluorescence microscope. #science #science🧪 #bees #entomology #lab #neurobiology #biology #phd #phdsky

A person laughing hard. Laughter and other social interactions can trigger cataplexy, a narcolepsy-related phenomenon associated with neurons that express an oxytocin receptor.
