Save the date! First Zebrafish meeting in the UK. 10 - 12. September 2025 in Exeter. @eu_fish @InfoIzfs

Thanks to to all involved and the funders !@wellcometrust @LeverhulmeTrust @UKRI_News @ListerInstitute @ERC_Research

Tons more where that came from in the paper. Dig in for imaging, cone ablations, cool behaviour (including outdoors!) and a bunch of musings. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New @bioRxiv #preprint with @chiara_fornetto and T Euler (who left X): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Are people moving to bluesky? I just made an account… @Neurofishh.bsky.social

We are looking for a new lab administrator (based in Brighton, UK). This is a 50% position, and it is largely admin & computer based. It does not necessarily require a science background. Anyone interested please get in contact and/or apply here: jobs.sussex.ac.uk/job/565750b6-6…

Thanks to all involved, especially @TommasiniDario who really drove this one!

How might they have evolved? We posit that they could be the result of a 'failed split' in the precursors that normally lead to red cones. Red singles normally develop in twos that separate, so duplicating the pre-split state could reasonably give a red-red double cone.

New collaborative @bioRxiv alert, with @TommasiniDario, @shekharlab and @TaYoshimatsu about the molecular and evolutionary relationships across vertebrate rods and cones: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… a mini thread...
