In 2025, @blackinneuro.bsky.social celebrated its 5th anniversary and announced the HBCU-MINDS Network, an initiative focused on building neuroscience research infrastructure, expanding graduate training and increasing opportunities at HBCUs. By @jheannellejohnson.bsky.social bit.ly/4sjPW5C

Happening today! You dont want to miss it 🧠

Neuroscientist and part-time fashion model Aya Osman opens up about the people who inspire her; her interest in science communication; and how she once ended up on a stage with Channing Tatum. By @avaskham.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/neurodevelop...

Very important article for all of us in neuroscience. Thanks @suthanalab.bsky.social. It takes people like yourself who are comfortable breaking down these cross-species barriers to make real progress. I hope people follow you. You have improved my thinking.

🧪📊 Yesterday, we uploaded a revised version of our preprint. The reviewers were super helpful in their comments. Definitely made the paper more legible and a delight to read. If you're interested in learning about tools to teach computing and data science at scale and within budget, check it out.

Our latest profile is here! Dr. Theanne Griffith (@doctheagrif.bsky.social) studies molecular, cellular, and circuit mechanisms for proprioception. Follow the link below to listen to our full interview! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202... #WomenInNeurosciene #StoriesOfWiN

A lifelong passion for writing helped rising star @doctheagrif.bsky.social land a book deal and publish 15 chapter books for early readers, covering topics ranging from what the cerebellum does to how a cake bakes. By @avaskham.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/craft-and-ca...

Neuroscience subfields are often siloed. Embracing an integrative approach during training can help change that, @austinacoley.bsky.social explains. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/craft-and-ca...

“I like to work on problems where there’s still room to make a big impact.” In “This paper changed my life,” @ishmailsaboor.bsky.social discusses how a 2013 paper from David Anderson inspired him to study the circuits of pain and pleasure. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/this-paper-c...
