GRC Frontal Cortex

2024 Gordon Research Conference on Frontal Cortex chaired by Rebecca Shansky @ShanskyLab and David Moorman @DavidEMoorman

[Nashaly Irizarry Méndez @nirizarrymendez]

My first Gordon! What an amazing (and low-key terrifying 😅) experience. My first conference talk outside PR! Grateful to share the stage with incredible scientists. Learned so much from you all @CortexGrc Thanks @ShanskyLab @DavidEMoorman for everything!! 💕

Un abrazo desde🇵🇷

[Dana Mueller @DanaMaeMueller]

What a fantastic week at @CortexGrc and GRS. It was amazing to meet so many new science friends and learn about their newest research and ideas. Thank you @julia_mitchh @drsilvershana @doc_becca @DavidEMoorman for making it all possible.

I loved loved loved having you in the crowd!! It was the most reassuring! Between you in the crowd supporting me and @bealuna55’s pep talk whilst running late, there was no way I could falter!! 💪🏾🧠🙌🏾 #womeninSTEM #brainsandfame got me like 🤯��😍💅🏾

[Julia Mitchell, PhD @julia_mitchh]

Shout out to our incredible career panelists who closed out the GRS! These three had such amazing insights about careers in industry, medical writing, at the NIH and at primarily undergraduate institutions! So grateful they came and told us about their experiences!

[Shana Silverstein @drsilvershana]

Hands down @CortexGrc ‘24 was the best conference I’ve ever been part of. My inaugural GRS co-chair @julia_mitchh doing this along side me, @doc_becca and @DavidEMoorman for a diverse/inclusive GRC, but THE TRAINEES - the scientific future is dazzling because of our community🫶🧠

[Anna Beyeler 🇺🇦 @anna_beyeler]

Just made it home 🇫🇷 after 5 exciting and thought-provoking days @CortexGrc 🇺🇲 !
Congrats and big thanks to @ShanskyLab and @DavidEMoorman for bringing together such a brillant and open crowd 🙏

[Pierre Le Merre @Pierre_Le_Merre]

@CortexGrc was a blast! Fantastic atmosphere, science and impressive karaoke skills! Thanks @ShanskyLab and @DavidEMoorman for putting this together!

[Ekaterina Likhtik @ELikhtik]

Thank you @doc_becca and @DavidEMoorman for this fantastic @CortexGrc !! What a whirlwind of a week, so many wonderful people and ideas. Positively awesome!!

[Verdion Martina🇨🇼 @VerdionM]

Had an amazing time presenting my research project @CortexGrc. Met a lot of great scientists and made lots of friends. I’d like to thank my Pi Dr. Sun @mus_elegans and the GRC chairs for giving me the opportunity to attend this wonderful meeting.

[Alexander Harris @dr_alexharris]

I’m so grateful to @ShanskyLab & @DavidEMoorman for inviting me to @CortexGrc. Diverse, inclusive community of kind people sharing smart ideas is what makes science fun & that was available in spades at the conference!

[Sydney Ashton @SydneyEAshton]

Really big thanks to everyone at @CortexGrc for making my first GRC (+ first meeting as a postdoc & first in this field) such a fantastic experience. The first time I've really felt part of a neuroscience community & I'm coming away so energized!

[Brianna Fitzgerald @Bfitz_Sci]

Such a great time @CortexGrc! Full of amazing science, conversations, and so many wonderful people! Can’t wait for next time! 🥳🧠
Big thank you to my amazing PI and next vice chair🥳 (@not_kristie) and also the chairs of both the GRS and GRC for allowing me to present my work!

[Rodrigo Campos-Cardoso @cardosorodrigo2]

Thanks, @not_kristie, for giving us all the opportunities you offer, including attending to the amazing @CortexGrc
Can't wait for the next 💃🏻💃🏻

[Dr. Kirstie Cummings @not_kristie]

Cummings lab had an amazing time at the Frontal Cortex GRS/GRC 🧠! We met so many brilliant scientists, learned a TON, and @cardosorodrigo2, @Bfitz_Sci, @HunterFranks17, and Zephyr Desa represented the lab with 4 exciting posters and 2 outstanding talks 📈🎤

[Julia Mitchell, PhD @julia_mitchh]

Neuroscience summer camp at @CortexGrc was a heck of a time! Birthdays, hiking, swimming, lobster, karaoke and science oh my!!

[Rea Mitelman @ReaMitelman]

I wanted to say how much I enjoyed @CortexGrc (Gordon Conference and Seminar on the frontal cortex), but @SStaszko just put it so well!

The only disappointment was not seeing @Yoav_Livneh who could make it, unfortunately.

[Austin A Coley, PhD @AustinAColey]

Super surreal moment to present @CortexGrc 🧠 with @BrielleRyan on the same day. Both of us mentored by legendary @wjgao99 during grad school, and now we're presenting together as faculty members.

[Dr. Travis Hodges @TravisEHodges]

Had a truly wonderful first experience at the Frontal Cortex GRC ❤️🙌🏾. Learned a lot of new techniques, made new friends/connections, and had many inspirations. I will definitely be back @CortexGrc #FrontalCortexGRC

[Lindsay Vincelette @lindsvince]

I had a blast at @CortexGrc this past week! Loved making new science friends and sharing my poster that examines how the hormonal milieu during pregnancy has long-lasting effects on neural activity post-parturition. This week felt like science summer camp in the best way!!

[Stephanie Staszko @SStaszko]

@CortexGrc exceeded all of my expectations and has set the bar incredibly high for the next GRC I attend! I loved learning from and getting to know so many inspiring scientists and left with a list of analyses and experiments to try (and more importantly many new friends!) 🧠
