Ethan Scott's Lab

Over and out. Find us at @ethanscottlab.bsky.social.

Zebrafish and non-zebrafish people are welcome. Internationals and those from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. Our lab is a mutually supportive team with positive vibes and an ethic of teamwork, looking for members with the same mindset. If that's you, read on👇

Collaborative effort from @ehoffmanlab & @LabEthan

For those who aren’t at #IZFC2024 in Kyoto or want to know more, Gaia, Kate, and I wrote a little piece for @the_Node earlier this year. thenode.biologists.com/earning-your-g…

📢ACAN 2025 applications will open soon! ACAN teaches the theory and skills of modern neuroscience techniques, covering ephys, imaging and behaviour (ans.org.au/acan). ACAN will run from the 19th Jan to 8th Feb, 2025 in Sydney. @AusNeuroSoc

Hiring #postdoctoral fellow in @wyartlab with training in genetics & a curiosity for behavior to link gene mutations to motor control. Cosupervision by @jdsitt & myself @InstitutCerveau in collaboration with @filodelbene @institutvision . Contact us, apply to start in the fall!

Hello, world! I have some work I’m very excited to share with you. We've been cooking it over the past four years, starting when I was confined to a studio apartment during Covid lockdowns. Collab w/ @jmacshine @eli_j_muller @DrBreaky @LabEthan doi: 10.1101/2024.06.22.600219

New banger from @DrBMunn and co. TL/DR: coarse-graining multi-species calcium data allows us to link across scales and make some inferences about how information processing might work in the brain. Super fun collab with @eli_j_muller @DrBreaky & Ethan Scott

@stevewilsonfish @TheCrick Congrats, @stevewilsonfish! What a week for you and your lab!

Enough about sleep— check out zebrafish brain asymmetry in Science from our UCL zebrafish floor mates! The Nature -Science double makes for a pretty good week for our science collective! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A thing we did finally came out @Nature! 100% the result of the extraordinary vision and hard work of PhD student @SuppAnya, who slogged through years of thankless technique building before making some important sleep discoveries. nature.com/articles/s4158…

@realRihellab @fishymusings @Nature @SuppAnya Congrats, @realRihellab and crew. Can’t wait to check it out!

When I was a postdoc, you could have reviewed zebrafish vision with 50 citations. Now, 200 is woefully inadequate. Apologies for all the worthy studies that we couldn't fit and for the necessary focus with which we've covered this exciting, expanding field.

It provides a few years' worth of updates and a new perspective from @JohannBollmann's excellent 2019 review, which I recommend reading alongside ours. annualreviews.org/content/journa…

Thanks to @BaierLab for including me. We've reviewed the regions, neurons, and connections of zebrafish vision, highlighting the parallel (thus the plural "systems") and converging processing of diverse stimuli, also touching on plasticity and context. annualreviews.org/content/journa…

Delighted to be in this role, and deeply committed to catalysing how we collaborate, innovate, and nurture our collective strengths in neuroscience and mental health to drive meaningful impact @UniMelbMDHS @TheFlorey

The position would start in late 2024/early 2025. To apply, send a single PDF including 1) your cover letter detailing your past experience and specific interests in our lab's work, 2) CV, and 3) academic transcript. This can be emailed to Ethan: tinyurl.com/bdfey9bk

Projects are available in calcium imaging, optogenetics, computational neuroscience, or behavioural analysis. Work can involve fundamental sensory studies in wild-type animals or phenotyping of #autism model animals.
