For any budding neuroscientist, learning and understanding the basics of electrophysiology is essential for career progression. 🧠🔬 In this guest blog, Dr Sean Brennan of the University of Liverpool told us about the Cell Physiology Workshop, and the many benefits of mastering these techniques for early career scientists: https://ow.ly/UhwO50TXa8j #cellphysiologyworkshop #cellphysiology #electrophysiology #electrophysiologists #neuroscience #neuroscientists

Another 5-star review for our Tetrodotoxin citrate! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This potent, selective, use-dependent Na+ channel blocker has been cited in hundreds of research publications ✅ Our latest happy customer called our TTX a "great product" and told us "I’ve used this product in electrophysiology recordings and blocked action potentials, it is an excellent product!" 🙌 Why not try it for yourself by ordering from our extensive range of low-cost life science biochemicals, antibodies and reagents: https://ow.ly/pImv50TX4gt #biotech #labsupplies #lifescience #lifescientists

In our new Science Career Spotlights series, we're speaking to life scientists about their first steps into STEM and the vital skills that have led them to their current role. 🔦 In our second instalment, we spoke to Alka Rao, PhD, a Commissioning Editor at Springer Nature who tells us how a PhD in microbiology prepared her for a role in publishing: https://ow.ly/Li8w50TWs7A #scienceeditor #sciencecommunication #scicomm #springernature #sciencejournal #sciencecareers #STEMcareer #STEMcareeradvice

Electrophysiology techniques are essential for budding neuroscientists, so how can early career researchers get to grips with the fundamentals? 🧠🔬 The UK’s annual Cell Physiology Workshop took place in Liverpool this year and offered attendees a unique opportunity to learning the theory and practice techniques. 👩🔬👨🔬 We asked Sean Brennan of the University of Liverpool to tell us more about the hands-on learning sessions, and why workshops like these are so useful for early career neuroscientists: https://ow.ly/WJlN50TWrFP #cellphysiologyworkshop #cellphysiology #electrophysiology #electrophysiologists #neuroscience #neuroscientists

I talked about the ins and outs of my current role at Springer Nature in this career spotlight series from Hello Bio. If you're curious about what it's like to work in scientific publishing, you're welcome to reach out to me. There's a huge diversity of roles (not just restricted to editorials). Thanks Hannah Brackenbury for the opportunity ☺️ And to my amazing leads Raheleh Motamedi and Stacey Morgan for the great team culture which makes all of this enjoyable.
