...We wrote this because we scientists seem to be suffering from a collective petrification when it comes to speaking truth to power. We know that confronting power is scary and uncomfortable, but it's the only way to grow.

The Harvard Neuro Blog stands in solidarity with Black and Brown Americans. We must eradicate systemic racism in America, in science, and @Harvard. We call on all @harvardbrainsci faculty, staff, postdocs, and students to start finding their voice to be actively #antiracist...

[Harvard Neuro Blog @harvardneurosci]

We hope everyone in the department, especially faculty, find the courage to stand up against racism. Perhaps start by reading and signing this petition from the
Underrepresented Scholars in Neuroscience: https://t.co/ecOjHtlOQB...

[Andrew Saunders @sirandysaunders]

@Harvard in house graduate student-ran blog @harvardneurosci gives incoming students invaluable insight regarding the challenges of lab rotations. Take Notes.

If you are caught up in tau tangles, this talk is for you. (OK, bad joke.) Come to our next fall lecture (November 20, 7-9pm, Armenise Auditorium) to learn how using probabilistic machine learning can help us diagnose neurodegenerative diseases!

[Dr. Christoph Koch @koch_means_cook]

I usually struggle to understand (mathematical) details in comp neuroscience (e.g. Eigen-X, DNNs), so I end up "kind of getting stuff, but not really". This is a pity bc it makes things much easier!

Just a tiny threat to collect some resources that continue to help me: (1/9)

Now THIS is a social behavior worth studying

1. I bartended before grad school and get excited about craft beers & fun cocktails
2. I listen to music most waking hours - musicals, alt, indie, rock, classical
3. I study neuro but am also VERY fascinated by immunology and infectious disease

For those of you entering grad school and are thinking about rotations, read this article by @neurojaym and @kelsey_clausing of @harvardneurosci for advice! #AcademicChatter

[Madhvi Venkatesh (she/her) @madhvi_v]

Great advice piece for new grad students on approaching #gradschool rotations written by @neurojaym and @kelsey_clausing. Published by @harvardneurosci just in time for the start of the new academic year!

[ThePhDPost @ThePhDPost]

Attn first year grad students! Here are some tips on picking rotations 🧪🧠🔬

[Lucy Lai, PhD @drlucylai]

My friends and classmates @neurojaym and @kelsey_clausing wrote a great piece about rotations and choosing a lab in grad school! Great read if you’re starting a PhD program this Fall 😊https://t.co/3aImMCnPd0

An undergraduate at American University of Armenia in Yerevan, Arman Simonyan is spending the summer in the Dystonia and Speech Motor Control Lab at HMS and @MassEyeAndEar as a research student https://t.co/5vCe0Xbwm1 via @HarvardBrainSci

[Dániel Barabási @bdanubius]

Rotations are a wonderful, though intimidating, reflection on a scientific career at the beginning of grad school. Here are some thoughts from @neurojaym @kelsey_clausing that can frame the journey, or, as a mentor, aid the process! https://t.co/jBnxYE8qjq

[Ya'el Courtney, PhD @ScienceYael]

Starting a PhD program? My colleagues @harvardneurosci have some great advice about how to approach lab rotations. Check it out and RT to help others beginning their academic journey learn more about this process.

[Maya Jay @neurojaym]

@PhD_Balance This recent post on @harvardneurosci's blog outlines some general tips about how to choose rotation labs (if applicable): by doing some personal reflection and keeping an open mind to varied interests! @kelsey_clausing https://t.co/YN7ui2FEbt

[Maya Jay @neurojaym]

@kelsey_clausing and I published a @harvardneurosci piece on how to get the most out of lab rotations! We learned a lot over the past year, hoped to share some advice with anyone else starting #gradschool this fall ~ happy rotating 😁
