A reminder as we prepare for a phased return to research: Researchers approved to return should only be on campus for work that requires labs or specialized areas/equipment. More details on access, safety signage and parking in today's update. https://t.co/yGZH8Nojev

[McMaster University @McMasterU]

An update on the Fall 2020 term: All classes will be online. With few exceptions, students will not need to be on campus. We want everyone to be safe, to have the support they need, and to be confident our decisions are based on public health advice. 1/ https://t.co/PURav1EH4v

Tuesday and Wednesday next week, there will be town hall meetings/webinars to answer questions and offer information on the return to research activities at Mac. Open to all — just remember to register. https://t.co/geRiW2NTKK

The latest issue of @neurosciencemac's BrainWaves newsletter was released last week 🤓 If you're applying to postdocs, feeling a bit of imposter syndrome, or curious about the latest advances in neurotech, take a peek!

Please stay safe, and stay healthy! We hope to "see" you in the days and weeks to come! /3

[SOMA MiNDS @somaminds]

Thank you to everyone involved in our new virtual events over the past 10 days!

We've shared our writing goals/progress in Academic Writing groups, held a game night on the Houseparty app, made paper stars during our Creative Hangout, and gotten some much-needed exercise. /1

[SOMA MiNDS @somaminds]

Our goal is to provide a variety of activities (a little something for everyone!) to help stay connected during this uncertain time. Please VIEW and ATTEND UPCOMING EVENTS using the Google Calendar link we sent to your Mac email last week. /2

[SOMA MiNDS @somaminds]

Also, please feel free to reach out to any of our SOMA executives (Kathryn, Saurabh, Sawayra and Kevin), as well as Aya and Lisa, if you'd like to connect during this difficult time (/3)

[SOMA MiNDS @somaminds]

We hope that you have been keeping safe and sane during this pandemic.

We thought we’d provide a virtual space to start academic and non-academic groups. If you are interested, please sign in to the Neuroscience Graduate Program's Slack channel (/1)

[SOMA MiNDS @somaminds]

Let us know which communities and activities interest you. We have options for writing, cooking, workouts, meditation, and more! (/2)
