Turned 27 this weekend and baked my own birthday cake!

Check out this awesome video on Neuroeconomics by grad students @ivancedric_a @BahatiNkera @erin_fingleton @k_carmichael1 This was made as part of last week’s @BrainWeekRI ✨check out their website for more great videos and lesson plans🧠 youtu.be/ftaxcwcQFeg

Anyways if anyone has any leads for undergrad summer REUs in chemical engineering/chemistry/material science/polymer science that accepts international students AND pays them let me know. I’m currently using pathwaystoscience.org as a search tool for now

Academia: You must be brilliant, creative, and organized. You must do this while teaching 3-4 courses, writing grants, publishing manuscripts, mentoring students, reviewing papers, serving on committees, & presenting at conferences. Academia: And work-life balance is CRITICAL.

How it started vs. how it’s going 🥳 ringing in 2021 with this one

Here I describe a brief overview of how the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines work. Taking a vaccine is one’s personal choice, and I hope this video can help someone make that decision rooted in science.

The vaccine contains no actual part of the virus. It has only the instructions on how to make the asshole protein. So, you can’t get infected with COVID from the vaccine. You just get these instructions.

Just finished my last final. 1st quarter PhD officially complete!

Institutions deciding what’s URM

Are you stressing about applications to neuroscience PhD programs? Been there. If you’re applying to NYU, students have organized a program to review your app with you before you submit and give general advice/feedback! More info and sign-up form below👇🏽 forms.gle/vAZJ43w6heHEEZ…

Interested in reinforcement learning, computational psychiatry, cognitive control, or decision-making? The Frank Lab @ Brown University has an opening for a lab manager/RA starting the end of this year! Details here: tinyurl.com/lncc-lm-ra Please RT! @CogNeuroJobs

quick reminder that not a single Black scientist has ever won the nobel prize. it’s 2020.

Mark your calendars for the 1st #BlackInNeuro Mini-Conference!🎉🎉 In lieu of SfN 2020, we’ll be hosting events 10/31-11/04 for @BlackInNeuro trainees to present their research & acquire professional development advice, particularly during this virtual grad application season!
