Doing biological sciences, like #neuroscience , is like when you want to solve a puzzle but you need to find the pieces first!
When you almost have a number of pieces, you can just start to put them together and find micropatterns.
I love solving puzzles! #phd@NPGAatVT

And as for all NPGA events, any graduate student, -candidate, postdoc doing neuroscience related research at Virginia Tech is welcome to join the discussion!
Tune in this Fri @ 3PM for the NPGA x SoN DEI Workshop with the focus on neurodiversity + mental health. We'll be discussing how to increase accessibility and inclusivity in our labs by identifying barriers, and by brainstorming solutions. @VTNeuro
