I am currently at the Optogenetics + 2023 conference in St. Petersburg.
🫶 "Scientists should constantly improve themselves [in various ways] by participating in schools and conferences, as they offer continuous education and individual experience that form a scientist as a specialist in their field"
😃 I was pleasantly impressed by the excellent organization and motivated people around me, the cozy atmosphere and the fascinating topics of the reports
Days 1&2. Lectures The lectures were devoted to research on creation of the new optogenetics tools for studying and controlling processes in neural cells. Also there were reports and posters about optogenetic approaches to the treatment of epilepsy, which I found to be amazing.
Day 3. School on Modern Methods of Invasive Neural Activity Control Simultaneously with the Conference, the School on Modern Methods of Non-Invasive Control of Neuronal Activity took place. It included several master classes on the use of modern methods of optogenetics in scientific research.
I chose the first master class. We practiced a fascinating ontogenetic method of surgically injecting a viral vector of fluorescent protein to mark certain neurons for histology or (if this vector was connected with rodopsine vector) for causing de-/hyperpolarization ex vivo.

Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." Lastly, the web previews of t.me links have been given a new look, adding chat backgrounds and design elements from the fully-features Telegram Web client. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. Also in the latest update is the ability for users to create a unique @username from the Settings page, providing others with an easy way to contact them via Search or their t.me/username link without sharing their phone number. "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into."
