Great to see our close colleague Jozef Vanden Broeck on national television talking about research in locusts! 🦗

Voor de #BrainAwarenessWeek spraken op Pioniers van de Wetenschap met Anna Wester van KU Leuven over haar onderzoek naar #angst , en hoe ze daarbij stress meet - met een toestel in de volksmond bekend als 'leugendetector' 🧠

Our postdoc Lucas Mergan featured on the cover of Leuven city magazine, in which he talks about all the great ways there are for people to discover science here in Leuven🏙️

Great job Charline and Tuan Anh at presenting our research on #nictation at the Departmental Research Day last week! 💪

We had a great time at Science Day a week ago, teaching kids and their families about worm research 🔬 DagvandeWetenschap Leuven Brain Institute Fac Wetenschappen

Wij zullen er ook staan met een standje over mutante wormen en wormen in de ruimte! 🚀 Bezoek ons zeker op campus Gasthuisberg voor wetenschappelijk plezier 🔬

Our close colleagues of the Beets Lab discuss their recent Neuron and Cell Reports publications on neuropeptides:

Our postdoc Lucas had a great time at Kinderuniversiteit talking to kids about whether a worm is capable of thought 🤔 #celegans

Heb je al geluisterd naar onze #podcast Pioniers van de Wetenschap? Vond je het interessant/leuk? Dan zouden Pieter Vancamp en ik ontzettend dankbaar zijn voor jullie stem in de Vlaamse podcastprijzen! visitoostende.be/nl/publiekspri… 👂 Biology | KU Leuven Fac Wetenschappen KU Leuven

Kunnen wormen denken? Duik tijdens een lezing met onze postdoc Lucas Mergan in de wereld van de microscopische rondworm C. elegans, en bestudeer samen het denkvermogen van dit bijzonder beestje 🤔

Honour & pleasure to discuss the flatworm work BiTElab CMK UHasselt Universiteit Hasselt and other unconventional models w/ Oded Rechavi from Tel Aviv University. Thanks to TemmermanLab & colleagues from Div. Animal Physiology & Neurobiology Biology | KU Leuven KU Leuven for organising this!

In our latest #publication , we explore the world of overlapping genes. azyx-1 is a new gene that plays a unique role in regulating zyxin in #celegans . This sheds light on how overlapping genes can interact and influence physiology 🧬 plos.io/3LtJg1Q PLOS Biology

Only a little over a week to go until Oded Rechavi will be visiting us at the KU Leuven for his distinguished lecture on Molecular Memories 😱 Don't miss out on this event hosted by the division of Animal Physiology and Neurobiology: bio.kuleuven.be/odedRechavi

Our KU Leuven worm colleagues at the Rob Jelier lab are looking for a new #PhD student to work on C. elegans embryogenesis 🥚 Interested? Apply here: kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…
