In a significant move, the former editorial teams of Neuroimage and Neuroimage: Reports will lead the new MIT Press journal, delivering on the promise to lower APC fees.

Mixed feelings on this type of press. On one hand.. great, let's definitely be more sensitive to the need for anticipatory and responsible neurotech policy. And, on the other, I mean... that headline?! C'mon.

Through December 11, we are accepting applications for summer 2023 Grass Fellowships @MBLScience! See https://t.co/tXUTvvq16N. In 2023, we will partner with @KavliFoundation to support two Fellows conducting research related to neurobiology and changing ecosystems.

@dendromecon27 @weinberz Agreed ☝️ I’m a big advocate of being carless in LA… BUT I live less than 4 miles from my office, have a biking route where cars are accustomed to bikers (a rarity here) AND **this is key** have access to a car to borrow should I need to get to a doctors appointment, hike, etc.

@bdanubius @barabasi @KavliFoundation @IstvanAKovacs @nyuniversity I didn’t know there was photo evidence of this encounter! Love it!

Sorry for cursing your name in college, Dr. McMurry. This is a very cool move: https://t.co/V5PsBQUif5

Updated and expanded!
Download our curated list of 375 postdoctoral fellowships: https://t.co/EbTahdhzVP

The database lists the dollar amount, eligibility criteria (such as citizenship), deadline, and description for each fellowship.

Good luck.

We're looking for schools/consortia to help create Centers for Neuroscience & Society. Apply for funds to develop a plan to create hubs for multidisciplinary scholars to learn, exchange ideas, and forge collaborations. https://t.co/m8lIaYCLQQ #NeuroscienceAndSociety

@tcarpenter216 Curious to hear if anyone has experience with OSF and if it covers this base? PM tools are plentiful - I’m guessing this doesn’t completely supplant them… https://t.co/VQ9epruopo

“To ensure ethically responsible, legally compliant, socially acceptable, and open neuroscience research and innovation, there is a need to develop an international data governance framework."

How can responsible international data governance in neuroscience empower and enable collaborations (without adding to regulatory burdens)? Out in @NeuroCellPress today - many thanks to @furranko @DrDOEke and team! #engageIBI https://t.co/uIKt0VhvU6

We've been counting down the days to share this exciting news! New Centers! ...but more importantly a new vision for how science can enhance and reflect the values held in society.

[The Kavli Foundation @KavliFoundation]

BIG NEWS
Introducing the Kavli Centers for Ethics, Science, and the Public at @UCBerkeley and @Cambridge_Uni, engaging the public to explore ethical implications born from scientific discovery.

We are very excited to share something with you all on Thursday! Here's a tiny preview from our Director of Public Engagement @brookesimler. Stay tuned!

[Agnes McMahon Stephens @aggiebmc]

It’s pretty unbelievable that something like this has happened more than once… unbelievable and should be illegal. Especially @usc where, compared to the other universities where I’ve been employed, departments and institutes are given less oversight and HR accountability.

It is not okay for any admin team to miss a payment to a student or employee. A thread on why this matters: #AcademicChatter #DEI @Openacdemics @AcademicChatter @firstphdchat @PhDVoice

From @TheLancetNeuro "Neuroscience is not a homogeneous field of research, but rather an alliance of different disciplines. Such a variegated community of researchers can bring to light breakthroughs by working towards common goals." #stoabrain https://t.co/HBeNPexPaC

🚨 ECRs in Neuro! I'm part of a panel with the International Brain Initiative planning to discuss the benefits/challenges of being an ECR today. I want to give a comprehensive assessment, so please drop me a DM/comment with your thoughts & location (country) of your lab. Thanks!
