Finally got around to updating the website with some rather important news: @ailiemcwhinnie.bsky.social passed her PhD viva with flying colours, and @annelisepaupiah.bsky.social has joined as a postdoc ✨
Not used to such speedy changes, things in Cambridge normally require a few centuries to move 😁

Had a lot of fun presenting at @peterhousecam.bsky.social with the Theory Group, alongside the brilliant @drallylouks.bsky.social ✨
Always a pleasure to talk about olfaction👃 especially in such a beautiful room with such an engaged audience 🌟
Thanks to the organizers and everyone who came along!

Competition-funded PhD studentships are available in our group. If you would like to join us, please get in touch by email to discuss potential projects.

Lovely from her!! Few weeks ago it was George Orwell who wrote to me...

Do you use Bonsai and Harp for behaviour acquisition? How easy has it been to interface the outputs with your analysis pipeline?
We’re building a high-level Python interface to streamline Bonsai/Harp integration and align data streams. Nearly there, we’d love your input!

Striatal astrocytes modulate behavioral flexibility and whole-body metabolism in mice - Nature Communications Striatal neural circuits control reward-associated behaviors but the role of astrocytes is still unclear. Here, the authors show that chemogenetic manipulation of striatal astrocyte in mice restore ob...

New publication out
Led by Enrica Montalban, who did a fantastic work, our new paper demonstrate a role for striatal astrocytes in the context of diet-induced obesity in both metabolic and cognitive processes. Thanks to all the collaborators for their work!

The paper is out in journal format at EJN! We thank the reviewers for their insightful comments, and how they shaped the final form of this story. Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

As usual, it's open access! We're getting the data ready for sharing very soon 👀🧠🧪

In this lab, we dress like our slides: bright, sharp, slightly animated, and with a dash of surrealism 🟡🎨
Well done to @harinw.bsky.social for smashing his talk at the 30th UK Semiochemistry Workshop, and to all the PhD speakers in his session for a stellar set of presentations 👏

We are super happy to announce the fourth edition of School of Ideas in Neuroscience! Come to Warsaw in September for in-depth talks, discussions and workshops that will help you to make sense of your data! The deadline for registration is July 21, 2025.

The Smell Studies Group now has new ways to stay in touch!
You can find us on Bluesky, LI or IG @smellstudiesgroup.bsky.social
We post on smell and the senses in all disciplines; feel free to tag or DM us with upcoming events, CFPs and publications.

Earlier this month, I co-organized Scents and Imagination at CRASSH, University of Cambridge, a fantastic, immersive day full of talks, discussions, and plenty to smell! Huge thanks to Giorgia & Sofia my brilliant co-organizers, and everyone who made it such a success. #ScentsAndImagination

If you're at #FRM2025 @fens.org in Oslo, go talk to my brilliant student @neurosana.bsky.social
She's presenting a poster this afternoon on the 2nd half Iceland/Cambridge PhD thesis, very cool results 🧠
PS She's on the postdoc job market. Need an electrophysiologist? Snap her up!!

If you fancy interdisciplinary discussion about scent, smell, olfactory system and cie, I bet you will enjoy the following...👃🔬📚
Also July is the ideal month to be in Cambridge 🇬🇧

Nice line-up! Looking forward to listen to these talks 🤩
