How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

Super thankful to those who helped make it a great #mcls2022 in such a beautiful location! So much fascinating research and great energy. It was my first time at MCLS and I’m already looking forward to next time! 🧠😄 @mathcogsociety @MCLStrainee

[Dr. Marissa Laws 🧠🌻🌸🌞 @mlawshp]

Had a great day 1 at #MCLS2022 !! Day 2 is off to a great start and I’m excited to be presenting my poster on brain behavior correlations between magnitude processing activity and math achievement! 🧠🧠➕➖✖️➗ https://t.co/eYADHPcejS

[Neuroskeptic 🇺🇦 @Neuro_Skeptic]

The brain fandom is one of the most dedicated of all. Brain stans call themselves "neuroscientists" and are known to obsessively pore over images of their idol.

Had a great weekend meeting new neuroscientists and learning lots!! So much thanks to the other organizers!! 🧠🧠🧠🤯👩🏼‍💻☕️

[Brainhack Washington DC @BrainhackDc]

And that's a wrap for the 2021 BrainHack DC edition! Thanks to our amazing team of organizers, virtual and in-person attendees, our speakers for making it the fun, productive, educative and collborative experience it was. Enjoy some candids from our in-person event... (1/n)

Hello Brainhack DC 2021 Registrants!! We are less than a week away from kicking off this year’s event on Dec 10-12! We are all very excited about this opportunity to hack together, meet fellow open science/neuroscience enthusiasts, and grow new collaborations.

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

We can now legally call the killers of Ahmaud Arbery murderers.

But I’m reminded that to those who loved Arbery and to so many others real justice would be him alive today and able to run without being attacked.

@Rajpreet_Chahal Thank you (so is your coworker)! I agree she is a better view than the computer, and she knows it too 😹

[Dr. Marissa Laws 🧠🌻🌸🌞 @mlawshp]

@Rajpreet_Chahal My labmate feels similarly!

[Skype A Scientist @SkypeScientist]

It's that time of year where we ask you- yes ALL OF YOU- to spread the word about our program!

We have SO MANY scientists who are ready to talk all about science!

Tell your college roommate! Your cousin! Your neighbor! Your barista!

Use these images to help spread the word!

Such an important thread and a great update to the leaky pipeline analogy! Science should be for all and involve all

[Krista Koeller @KristaLerista]

People talk about a “leaky pipeline”, but pipes leak indiscriminately. I always think about it more like the jelly bean sorter at the jelly belly factory which is a fancy sieve that rejects beans that aren’t just the right size and shape. 6/13 4:40-4:54
