✨ Celebrating DYNABrain project!
Last week, the DYNAbrain Final Symposium brought the CiBB community together to celebrate the project's scientific achievements and collaborations as it approaches its conclusion.
Many thanks to everyone who made this event a success!
This week at "IN & OUT Academia workshop" with @ManCas_, we explored career paths, transferable skills and entrepreneurship beyond academia. Thank you @nicomorgens , @glopesdev and @XindiPoo for sharing your transition stories and making the conversations even more inspiring!
🚀 Last week, DYNAbrain brought the EMBO Lab Leadership course to the @UnivdeCoimbra, supporting 10 junior PIs and senior postdocs at #CNC_UC.
A great and rewarding experience - because better leaders build better research environments. 💪

🧠Big news: @CaixaResearch 2025 Health Call has funded a project to decode how the brain processes other emotions & guides prosocial decisions.
Led by @CrisMarquezVega, DYNABrain leader, and supported by cutting-edge neuroscience tools.
👏To the team for this important step!
1/ 💭🤔 The brain mechanisms that allow us to understand and respond to others’ emotions are still largely unknown.
With a #HealthResearch grant, @CrisMarquezVega will use advanced techniques to study them and expand our understanding of decision-making. 👇

🔬 From Keypoints to Behavior – A Successful Workshop! 🧠🐭
Last week, @brain_dyna & @nencki OpenLab hosted “From Keypoints to Behavior: Pose Estimation and Behavior Analysis” at CNC-UC, Portugal 🇵🇹 , part of the #idpIN doctoral program.
Over 4 days, participants learned how to turn raw video data into meaningful behavioral insights using #DeepLabCut & #KeypointMoSeq 🧩
13 young researchers from institutions across 🇵🇹🇵🇱🇫🇷🇬🇧🇺🇸🇳🇱🇨🇭🇩🇪🇪🇸 for hands-on sessions, many using their own experimental videos!
Huge thanks to tutors 🙌Konrad Danielewski (@NenckiInstitute)
@FlaviaRicciardj and @Ilaria_sarni (@cnc_uc)
👏Congrats to all participants for your engagement and curiosity!
