What is holding #neurotech back from being one of the greatest breakthroughs of our time?

Infrastructure.

Getting from approval to access takes years — delaying patient access & company capital.

PL Neuro aims to break these bottlenecks. Here's our Roadmap: zenodo.org/records/1924...

Feeling a bit verklempt to be honored with the 2026 Breslau/Murphy Award from @appa-association.bsky.social. It’s hard to overstate how much an award like this means to me.

I love science, and training the next generation of scientists isn’t part of the job; it IS the job.

We’re excited to welcome Maria Kalambokidis, PhD, to Stellate as an Account Coordinator ✨

Maria is an evolutionary biologist with expertise in academic research, STEM engagement, and science writing. We’re thrilled to have her on the team 💜

Learn more: stellatecomms.com/team

Woohoo! So happy to have Maria with us!

"I had a wonderful time working with Stellate building my new lab website... I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a creative, responsive, and professional team."

Thanks for the kind words @cglowther.bsky.social, and congrats on launch! 🧬

Homepage — PL Neuro

PL Neuro is officially live! plneuro.xyz

We exist to break bottlenecks, accelerate progress in neurotech & NeuroAI, and to invest in innovations that benefit humanity.

PL Neuro will focus on 3 core areas:
- Neural augmentation
- Biologically-inspired intelligence
- Whole brain emulation

1/ Neurotechnology is one of the defining opportunities of this century. We’re already seeing the potential to restore function, treat disease, and eventually expand human capability.

Tick Global Network is a professional community for researchers focused on tick biology & tick-associated diseases.

Since launch 3 months ago, the network now has over 365 members from 80+ countries around the world!

Thanks for your leadership & partnership @isobelronai.bsky.social! 💜

When I started @stellatecomms.bsky.social, I was so excited about the new science I would learn...

🪲 Ticks weren't on my list, but they've been a recent highlight!

Check out the Tick Global Network: tickgn.org

Excited to have @rafaelyuste.bsky.social as our third #OptoGRC2026 keynote speaker!

Join us for his talk on how neural circuits & dendritic spines work together to "orchestrate" brain activity 🎹✨

Don’t miss the chance to attend — registration closes 4/12.

Great to work w/ @kordinglab.bsky.social and team on this important roadmap for linking molecular/structural features to function. The future of precision treatments for brain disorders, neurotechnology advances, and an understanding of intelligence itself depend on science that bridges btw scales

Amazon buys Fauna Robotics, maker of the Sprout humanoid robot Amazon has acquired Fauna Robotics, just under two months after the startup introduced a humanoid robot called Sprout designed for social spaces like homes and schools

Congrats to Fauna Robotics on their acquisition by Amazon! Proud to have been a part of the early founding team 🤖🌱

You've been meaning to break ground on your website for months... or longer...

✨ Site Lab exists for exactly this ✨

Hand us content + a few aesthetic preferences, and we build it — color palette, fonts, layout, mobile optimization —& then launch it🚀

Frameshift: How Caitlin Vander Weele made science communication her business Her favorite part of research was talking about it. So she left academia and turned that passion into a successful company.

“The thing about Ph.D.s is they can figure stuff out.” In our latest Frameshift Q&A, @caitvw.bsky.social explains how she used her science-communication skills and entrepreneurial prowess to transform her passion into a successful company.

I’m so honoured to be featured in Stories of WIN this month - sharing my career journey and how storytelling changed everything for me! 🧪🎙️

Excited to join the Toronto Area Memory Group (TAMeG) for #TAMeG2026 in May as keynote speaker! I’m especially looking forward to the panel discussion on scientific mentorship and how we support the next generation of scientists.

🤓 Really excited to host this panel at COSYNE!

Our incredible speakers Bing, Kenji, Kim & Saskia are sure to share insightful advice on making an impact in their career and community at every stage of their careers 🧑‍🔬 🧠

Had a blast co-hosting a booth with the Church Lab at @utwistem.bsky.social UT STEM Girl Day! So fun meeting curious kids and families and sharing our research on memory and brain development.

#NeuroAI #CompSci

Today in @nature.com, the @christophthaiss.bsky.social & @maayanlevy.bsky.social labs trace age-related memory loss to the gastrointestinal tract & map the complete gut-to-brain pathway driving it. Targeting this pathway can reverse cognitive aging in mice.

Back again for #OptoGRC2026 — meet meeting co-chair @okaysteve.bsky.social!

Steve is an associate professor at @bostonu.bsky.social and is especially excited about mentor-mentee lunches and supporting the next generation of researchers.

Fun fact: he calls his parents twice a day, every day 📞❤️

A protein that stabilizes cancer-suppressing mRNAs turns out to be a key brake on breast cancer metastasis.

A paper from Core Investigator @genophoria.bsky.social and lab in Science Advances traces the mechanism to RNA decay and an RNA-binding protein most studies have overlooked.

Not every website starts from the same place... & not every budget does either ✨
