It has been an amazing trip to St. Andrews for the @MotorCircuits. The organisers have set the bar very high!

Very much enjoying the Motor Control meeting in St Andrew’s, Scotland.

What an incredible first day to the Motor Circuits Meeting in St Andrews! So excited to see everyone and hear all about the incredible work being done in our field! Bring on day 2!

The spinal cord meeting we have all been missing has just been announced! Motor control: Spinal circuits and Beyond. June 2023 in St.Andrews, Scotland. Organized with @NCMlab, @ArielJLevine, @NeuroSharps and @MarthaBagnall . please sign up for updates at sites.wustl.edu/motorcircuitsm…

@julbouvier So my institution won’t allow people to go to conferences. I would enjoy going in person but have decided to do virtual this year.

Colleagues in motor control (and systems neuroscience in general): are you going/contributing to Sfn in person? I really would like to go and have some students go, but if no one is there to discuss it might not be worth the hassle and money. Thanks for letting me know here or DM

Thank you to our Champions from the healthcare, research, and community sectors: Dr. Rebecca Charbonneau, Dr. Chester Ho, @vmushahw, @whelanlab, Rob MacIsaac, RSW & Brandice Lorch, RSW. #SCIStrategyAB

This is a real tour de force, very impressive. A great resource to the community! But be careful, it's addictive! Congratulations Jacob Blum, Aaron Gitler and team! nature.com/articles/s4159…

What a great resource! scidraw.io

@dr_shlee Absolutely one of the greats. He inspired so many...

The world lost a great scientist, person, and adventurer. A brilliant mind and overall great human being.

A nice start to the morning. overcast.fm/+7aGX8sQ

Very excited that our first preprint, 'A dynamic role for dopamine receptors in the control of mammalian spinal networks', was recently published in @SciReports . disq.us/t/3s0l11r

This is appalling 🤬. Some have offered “salary corrections”. But these 2-3k adjustments do little to address the gap.

Great news that we were awarded a @CIHR_IRSC grant! A big thank you to CIHR for running this competition, and congratulations to the other labs that were also successful in their applications!

Our book "The Neural Control of Movement: Model Systems and Tools to Study Locomotor Function" is out! Edited by @whelanlab and lab alumnus @NeuroSharps

Visual Gait Lab (VGL) is optimized to generate gait metrics and allows for quick manual error corrections. VGL comes with a single executable, streamlining setup on Windows systems. (2/2) 50 days free access link here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1bCTFbXTOx6Qb

Check out our recent collaborative work from @WhelanLabYYC that was facilitated by @ABneurosci

Excited for the ⁦@UCalgaryBHSc⁩ 3-min thesis symposium to celebrate the great work done by our graduating students. A new tradition is born! Huge thanks to ⁦@Mairead_GWhelan⁩ for running with the idea. Thanks ⁦@SUUofC⁩ for your support!

Proud of Kyle Mayr who is graduating and receiving a President’s Award today. @HotchkissBrain

Start your week off by checking out this new #review in our special collection on #CPGs: "Retracing your footsteps: developmental insights to spinal network plasticity following injury." Link: doi.org/10.1152/jn.005…

Come see poster this morning. LL3. Sharples
