@begum-aydin.bsky.social@begum-aydin.bsky.social → @begumaydin.bsky.socialThe time has come! Vienna and I are moving to Milan, Italy tonight to start a 3mo Fulbright 😊 Ci vediamo presto!
Show PostI'm very honored that our research was covered by the New York Times! @alexaroblesgil.bsky.social wrote a beautiful piece that captures the science & mystery of cephalopod camouflage: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/s... I want to emphasize that this project is the result of an incredible team effort...
Show PostWhy study cuttlefish in a neuroscience lab? This @nytimes-news.bsky.social article dives deep into this creature’s ability to mimic on its skin what it sees in the environment. tinyurl.com/y5hrjnhy @tessamontague.bsky.social , @connorjgibbons.bsky.social , @gthomasbarlow.bsky.social, Erika Shook.
Show PostNew from Andreas Sagner & co miRNAs and temporal control of neuronal fate across the vertebrate CNS Without Dgcr8, progenitors stay early and late-born neurons are lost. Rising miR-9 silences early temporal TFs to promote temporal progression www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Show PostUntil this point, we had no way to insert new genes into cephalopods (= transgenics). It was a long, emotionally (and at times physically) painful process that took pretty much all we had. But we did it, generating red fluorescent cuttlefish. ...and now we know how to make the GCaMP animals.
