Exciting PhD Opportunity at the University of Glasgow!
I’m thrilled to share that my PhD project with @mickcraig.bsky.social has been shortlisted for the College Future Themes PhD Programme within the College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences (MVLS).

This special issue reflects a unique collaboration between the symposium organizers and ASPET, with ECIs actively involved in editorial curation and peer review.

Together, these contributions offer fresh perspectives and spotlight the next generation of leaders in GPCR research.

Led by me and @jjanetzko.bsky.social, this issue includes five original research articles and five topical reviews contributed by attendees of the Transatlantic ECI GPCR Symposium—a free, virtual event now in its fifth year.

Emerging Voices in GPCR Biology

A new special issue entitled “Emerging Voices in GPCR Biology” is now available in Molecular Pharmacology, highlighting innovative research led by early-career investigators (ECIs) across key areas of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) science.

This looks like a great study!

Had a lovely time at the inaugural GPCR-UK meeting in Cambridge. Beautiful city and great science!

Now this is science publishing at its finest!

5th Transatlantic ECI GPCR Symposium Fourwaves - 5th Transatlantic ECI GPCR Symposium

The 5th Transatlantic ECI GPCR Symposium is today at 10AM EDT (3PM BST)! Good luck to organisers Janelle Lanham, Tomasz Steniewski, and Edda Matthees. You can still register to attend this virtual, FREE event: event.fourwaves.com/gpcr2025/pages

Had a wonderful experience at the Scottish Neuroscience Group meeting in Dundee! Great series of talks and nice to hear about all the research.

Organized scientific fraud is growing at an alarming rate, study uncovers From fabricated research to paid authorships and citations, organized scientific fraud is on the rise, according to a new Northwestern University study.

(1/2) @maddipow.bsky.social draws an interesting comparison here regarding #PeerReview. I think this could really benefit bad reviews but probably not rogue reviews - the latter consisting of bias, rudeness & deliberate mishandling!

One thing it underscores - Peer review training is essential!

Our data reveal context-dependent effects on dopamine signaling, suggesting ADGRL3 modulates dopamine release via different pre- and postsynaptic mechanisms.

Looking forward to continuing this research in Glasgow—grateful to all co-authors for their valuable contributions.

We used a combination of fast-scan cyclic voltammetry, fiber photometry, and behavioral assays to uncover how ADGRL3 (Latrophilin-3) influences striatal dopamine release in vivo.

Altered striatal dopamine regulation in ADGRL3 knockout mice Dopaminergic signaling is essential for regulating movement, learning, and reward. Disruptions in this system are linked to neuropsychiatric disorders such as ADHD. ADGRL3, an adhesion G protein-coupl...

An experiment in 'open science' Why isn't Br-LSD psychedelic?

Inspired by @mbeisen I've begun an experiment in open science. We are sharing our ongoing work on psychedelic signaling here:

I've decided to make this 'open' as the experiment are of immediate interest to the field and I'll write them up later.
