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.

On Feb. 27, however, he admitted from his Russian-language account that "Telegram channels are increasingly becoming a source of unverified information related to Ukrainian events." Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. "He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering. It's a very irresponsible position from the owner of Telegram," she said. Two days after Russia invaded Ukraine, an account on the Telegram messaging platform posing as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged his armed forces to surrender.
