Now that I have some time, let me tell y’all about the DISRESPECT that Black In Neuro experienced by SfN staff last night 🤬
We did an #SfN24 “sponsored social” and I am livid with how we were treated.
I don’t care what you say to me, but you will NOT disrespect my team.
Groundbreaking discovery from neuroscientists: A new hybrid cell type in our brain! Nestled between neurons and astrocytes, this cell has far-reaching implications for memory, epilepsy, and even Parkinson's.

NEW: UC San Diego spiked rents up to 85% on graduate students who get paid poverty wages and can't afford to live.
At the same time, UC chancellors each received $100K+ raises.
The system is crushing grad students. Now ~50,000 of them, organized with @UAW, are fighting back.
What is the impact of funding underrepresented students in neuroscience? Watch two of our 2021 CoB-KIBM Scholars, Khoa Nguyen (Daneman Lab) and Lauren Valdez (Bloodgood Lab), share their experience! Special thanks to @minicontreras for filming and editing!

There are SO many different ways to communicate science 👩🏾🏫🧬
You can do a podcast or YouTube channel, give community talks to K-12 students write commentaries, engage in science policy, create art or music, AND MORE!
Here’s a thread of some of my FAVORITE #BlackSciCommers 💕👇🏾
Thanks for the shoutout @iamscicomm !! Just trying to get drunk and show people what real scientists look like 😁. This thread is full of some amazing scientist and sci communication. Everyone should check it out!
Kevin White (@kwhitejr) created a fun podcast that involves graduate students from around the world sharing their research while sipping cocktails 🍹🧪🍸
