Loren Looger, legendary protein wrangler, who always generously shared their genetically encoded calcium indicators and more while still in development and unpublished, is asking for labs to co-write grants with him:
"Dear science world, I need help, please. If you like the tools and data we generate, and our shareware attitude, can you please co-apply for funding with us? It turns out that I'm terrible at writing grants, and we need $$ or else we can't make more GCaMPs, RCaMPs, SnFRs (we've branched out to neuromodulators and neuropeptides), FPs, viruses, tags, etc. We'll also make whatever you want, but we need $$ to do it. DM or email me, sooner is better. Sorry to be desperate, but we want to keep doing this, and I'm not sure we can."

After years of perfecting my scrambled eggs technique, I am happy to report that our paper on optogenetic scrambling to dissociate spatiotemporal codes and memory is out in Nature Communications: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-35825-5 #hippocampus #CA1 #CalciumImaging #Miniscope #GCaMP #Optogenetics #Memory #InVivo #Electrophysiology #ThetaOscillations

Genetically encoded calcium indicators are becoming available in social insects.
After the first expression in honeybees (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.04.22.489138v2), now the first GCaMP-expressing ants have been created and used to study the coding of alarm pheromones in the antennal lobe.
