Excited to announce the final version of the Mosquito Cell Atlas is out now in @cellpress.bsky.social!! 🦟🩸 There is SO much left to find & investigate in this dataset (& the rich biology of the Aedes aegypti mosquito)! We hope this helps scientists in many fields! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Apologies to my mice, I'll be busy this morning reading the @leahhouri.bsky.social mosquito double feature that just dropped!!! 🦟

Postdocs across STEM: we’d love your advice! 👀 Did you apply for fellowships before starting your postdoc? If so, did you already have a formal or informal offer from your postdoc mentor? This is for @cientificolatino.com’s #NextLab program for senior grad students. Please share your experience!

So lucky to have my work featured in this awesome study! Check out how vision shapes spatial maps in the hippocampus, out now on biorxiv 🔥

Congratulations to our sixteen NSF-GRFP awardees and Honorable Mentions!!

Applying to STEM grad programs? Know someone who is? Be a good friend/colleague/mentor/labmate.... tell them to apply to #GSMI!!! ❤️ 👉👉 cientificolatino.com/gsmi 👈 👈

New article from @cientificolatino.com !!! On the struggles of first year grad students and how to support them 💜

Happy to share our article on @cientificolatino.com's GSEC program: a national mentorship program for 1st-year STEM grad students, geared for those from underrepresented backgrounds. We review why programs like this are urgently needed & what we learned while running it 🧵 doi.org/10.64898/202...

Calling all rising juniors & seniors: Interested in biological or biomedical research? Applications for our ’26 Summer Undergraduate Research Experience Program are now open! Nine weeks, hands-on research, & mentorship from some of the nation’s top scientists — learn more: bit.ly/CechFellows

🎉 Thrilled to see our #MosquitoCellAtlas featured on the cover of @cp-cell.bsky.social ! This mosaic represents 367K cells across 19 tissues, unveiling the complex biology that makes mosquitoes the world's deadliest animals. Beautiful art by @somedonkey.bsky.social meets the #Vosshalllab science! 🦟🎨

Happy to introduce our 25 2025 Alumni Scholarship Recipients!! This year we have launched our 2025 Alumni Scholarship Fund to support 1st year grad students, graduates of our GSMI program, to cover educational expenses in their 1st year of graduate school.

Head to Mosquitos: Cell atlas reveals sex differences in mosquitos – potentially applicable for disease spread management 📷 @oliviagoldman.net, AlexandraDefoe et al @rockefeller.edu in @cellpress.bsky.social ➡️ bpod.org.uk/archive/2025... with John Ankers

Our preprint is out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Peter Skovorodnikov and I are excited to present FERAL: a new video-understanding toolkit that maps raw video directly to behavior, no pose estimation required. It works across species, from lab to field, and even in collective systems. (🧵1/n)

#SfN25 stop by board ZZ5! We are presenting FERAL!

#SfN25 Monday morning we present FERAL: a video-understanding tool for animal behavior detection without the need for tracking or pose estimation! FERAL detects single animal, social and collective behavior in the lab and the wild! Visit our poster at board ZZ5 and check more here: www.getferal.ai

I'm happy that I could contribute even a small part to this fantastic and monumental study! Huge shoutout to @oliviagoldman.net @nadavshai.bsky.social and @leslievosshall.bsky.social for their incredible leadership in organizing this massive project!

TOMORROW – for CSU East Bay Students! ⁠ ⁠ Our Co-Founder/Board Secretary @oliviagoldman.net participates in "Paths into Mind and Brain Careers" for CSU East Bay's Connections Week! ⁠ 🕰️ Tuesday, 11/4, 12pm to 2pm⁠ 📍University Union, Multipurpose Room (CSU East Bay) ➡️ lrubio12.wordpress.com/event

Great to see that our mosquito cell atlas is now out in Cell. Amazing work from @oliviagoldman.net and @nadavshai.bsky.social to organise so much data and so many interesting stories into a single paper!

Excited to team up with CSU East Bay for Connections Week (Nov 4-8)! ➡️ lrubio12.wordpress.com/event… 11/5, @latinodeciencia.bsky.social leads a virtual workshop on applying to summer research & grad school (open to all!) 🎓 11/4, @oliviagoldman.net joins the Paths into Mind & Brain Careers panel! 🧠

What does mating look like when you only have a single shot at getting it right? Very excited to share our work on an almost-invisible female control, rapidly evolving mating recognition systems, and species that break the rules and take over the world. IN MOSQUITOES>

A real game-changer for the mosquito community - all packed in a beautiful paper!!!!

🦟 The mosquito is the most deadly animal in the world. The Mosquito Cell Atlas is an incredible new resource to help us understand more about their ability to transmit pathogens to humans. Data is available on the UC Santa Cruz @genomebrowser.bsky.social at mosquito.cells.ucsc.edu

Mosquito cell atlas is now published! Congratulations to @nadavshai.bsky.social and @oliviagoldman.net and the many other collaborators that contributed to this resource. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

An excellent and very comprehensive resource for grad students-to-be!

It's been a while since I applied to the #NSFGRFP... but over that time I developed this guide based on my experiences and mentoring other students with the NSF-GRFP through Cientifico Latino, Inc. (and otherwise)! 💛 Thank you to John Lê for the additional contributions!!

Feel very lucky to have learned so much alongside Dr. Tornes Blanco (@anibaltornesblanco.bsky.social)!!! 🥳🌟

Graduate school applications are expensive!! 💸 We are proud that we were able to save $53,205 in graduate school costs this year for our 100 GSMI scholars through Cientifico Latino, Inc. scholarships and fee waivers. Learn more about our program: cientificolatino.com/gsmi

We had a blast at #ASV2025 in Montréal! 🦠🍁 Our co-founders @latinodeciencia.bsky.social & @oliviagoldman.net: 🔹 Led a workshop on culture, communication & mentorship 🔹 Spoke on a panel about shifting cultural & funding landscapes Big thanks to the organizers & everyone who came!

Please share with NYC-based undergraduates!

More 1st year grad students unable to find a lab because of funding shortages in rotation-based programs. #fundingcuts What advice would you give to an incoming 1st year to try avoid this?

As we reach the end of #PrideMonth we must remember that for some scientists, just being themselves in the lab can be a daunting experience 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @oliviagoldman.net of @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social shares why openness is vital for science: ow.ly/wNQ050Whrbj #Pride #prideinSTEM #outinSTEM
