[Ben Filio @ben_filio]

A tough choice was made, but I’ve officially committed to pursuing a neuroscience PhD under the NIH-Brown Graduate Partnership Program! Looking forward to what the next few years has in store for me 😊

[Ivan Alcantara @ivancalcantara]

Had my thesis defense yesterday and got my PhD in Neuroscience! 😎 Thank you @michael_krashes for your mentorship and friendship

This hallway at the NIH used to have posters of women and POC scientists but they just got taken down.

But somehow this MLK poster made the cut.

@audreydrotos Congratulations Audrey! 🥳

You’ve heard of presenting your research to a general audience now get ready for… pigeon #sfn2024

[Ben Filio @ben_filio]

updating my bio from 2nd year to 3rd year caused me just a little emotional damage

[Shelly Flagel @Flagel_Lab]

Interested in #graduateschool in #neuroscience? We are offering several opportunities to learn more about our Neuroscience Graduate Program @UMich. First up, @SfNtweets #SfN24 Grad Fair next weekend. Then, virtual open houses (register below) and in person @SACNAS & @ABRCMS. 🧠

[Ben Filio @ben_filio]

Also nearly two months late but better late than never to announce I got a TPDA :)

[Ben Filio @ben_filio]

Going to #sfn2024? Interested in the cerebellum, reward, or both? Come hear me talk about how the cerebellum encodes reward on Saturday, Oct 5 from 6:30-8:30 at poster H4, and then again Tuesday, Oct 8 from 8:00AM-12:00PM at poster H13!

You’re not demure, you’re in grad school

[Ben Filio @ben_filio]

Trimming my SfN abstract for another poster session and the amount of typos I found in that abstract is flabbergasting 🤠

Reposting w/ alt text (sorry I forgot the 1st time) as a reminder that N95-only advocacy ignores intersecting issues of race & privilege & that for a variety of reasons lots of people simply can’t wear N95s. The best 😷is what fits your face/what you have access to where you are.

Got my first generic postdoc recruitment email…. hey at least it’s a step up from all the medical schools still sending me emails to apply!

[Ben Filio @ben_filio]

@ivancedric_a I did this to the exact same person at an SfN social 😭

[Ben Filio @ben_filio]

I’ve been staring at calcium imaging for too long because why do I see a smattering of bird poop on the sidewalk and think “hmm that looks like pretty good expression”

[Ben Filio @ben_filio]

Now that I'm in the thick of science a bit more whenever I see a cool paper I always look at the received and accepted date... what do you mean papers can take at least a year+.... hahahahahaha

[Carney Institute for Brain Science @CarneyInstitute]

Another beautiful morning in DC!! Hi! I’m Anna, a 2nd year in the NIH-Brown GPP in Dr. Chris McBain’s lab, and I’m sharing my day today at #SfN2023 !! 🥳

[Ben Filio @ben_filio]

Who knew that the best place to network at SfN is at the egregiously long coffee line

@manorlaboratory NIH to Science today:

“The agency also expects to keep open PubMed, which holds biomedical research abstracts needed for health care, and the https://t.co/XOnTF8DjGW registry, where reporting of clinical studies is a legal requirement.”
