Interested in understanding how the brain makes decisions? Come and do a PhD with us! MIBTP @BBSRC funded #PhD opportunity. Please, get in touch with questions. findaphd.com/phds/project/h…

We're hiring! Please RT! Exciting opportunities for #PhD students, #postdocs, and #research assistants to join us in exploring how the brain prioritises actions in conflict. #Neuroscience #Drosophila Interested? Get in touch! rezavallab.org

Sex or survival—what’s more important? Excited to share our @Nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict. We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating. #citeas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4158…

We have just 20 spots remaining on our one-day Social Psychology and Ageing workshop focused on Framing Effective Healthy Messages. For full details and reg link see here shorturl.at/WG4fB. Free event run in collaboration with @Bruneluni #happytochat

Fun session today with @mcklweb in Kuala Lumpur discussing the mechanism & potential of gene editing, so many great questions from bright young minds! & thanks to Bee Ling Chew for all the support *Trigger warning: Whitest legs imaginable* @qubengagemhls_d @QUBbioscience

@_mels13 Haha they are! Doing some prep for an outreach session. They'll be 'plating' some 'CRISPR-ed' bacteria 🦠 🧫 🧬 You'd be proud 😂

@DrFlyGuyNI Are they lovely agar plates I see?!

Sure what else would you be up to on a work trip to Malaysia. Doing some home science #homelab. #sciencelife #ScienceOutreach

Excited for our @AgeingBlast / @UkAgeing seminar on Sexual Dimorphism in Ageing on Monday June 3rd from 1-4:30pm BST. Still time to register (free!) for this online event with some exciting speakers on topics like Immune, Cognitive, and Metabolic Ageing! bit.ly/44Et5XW

@OKaneCahir @qubengagemhls_d @QUBbioscience Thanks @OKaneCahir! They look quite bored, but they were actually a very engaged class 😅 They just must have been concentrating hard 🧑‍🔬

@DrFlyGuyNI @qubengagemhls_d @QUBbioscience Looks like a great class!

A joy to deliver a CRISPR-Cas9 prac taster to the QUB Junior Academy students (bit.ly/3QIOcSY) with @qubengagemhls_d a couple of weeks ago. Great to see some of the teachers get stuck in too! Many thanks to Dr Jason Chin, couldn't have done it without you! @QUBbioscience

Thrilled to have this Special Issue out on nutrition in health ageing by @Age_and_Ageing, another step in the journey from @UkAgeing's conference last year #NRHA23. Many thanks to co-guest editor @McEvoyClaire and to all the contributors! @QUBbioscience bit.ly/3UKBoN7

Exciting (& free!) opportunity from @AgeingBlast for Ageing ECRs to 1) get career advice; 2) learn about TWO £5,000 pump-priming research grants; & 3) have a chance to publish in Advances in Biogerontology Check it out here-> t.ly/27EfL Deadline = May 3rd @UkAgeing

Such a useful experience presenting work, and getting some great feedback at the HE Skills Community of Practice led by @becky_c_lewis from @biouea @uniofeastanglia. Brilliant discussions and lots of things to implement at @QUBbioscience :) Thanks for the invite!

There are just 13 spots left for this free ECR event in May - lucky for some? Applications will close as soon as all tickets are allocated, so please follow the link to apply now!

In Ireland, older adults from lower socioeconomic groups are vastly underrepresented in dietary intake datasets and dietary interventions, and there are stark differences in life expectancy and health. There is still time to apply to this valuable PhD, please share widely🙏🙏🙏

Fantastic cotutelle PhD opportunity between @UoBrisPPN and @Unikent to study the genetics linking sleep and circadian regulation with bipolar disorder using 🐀/🪰 models. See link for details 👇🏼 findaphd.com/phds/project/f…
