If you're in the Bay Area, @your.neighborhoodscientist.org is having our first in-person event, "Brains, Biology, and Big Pharma", on September 29. See flyer below and register here: luma.com/m51ug5x1 Great opportunity to meet w/ scientists & learn about the scientific process! 🔭🧪👩‍🔬

Join us for a night of curiosity in the Bay Area at our first-ever in-person event! Our panel of scientists and researchers—all of whom live right here in the neighborhood—will be sharing their work in short presentations, followed by a Q&A. Register for the event here: luma.com/m51ug5x1

This week’s neighborhood scientist is Charity Robbins! Check out the link below to read Charity’s rules on how to build the perfect scientist (yes, really!!) neighborhoodscientist.org/posts/2025/l...

This week, our neighborhood scientist is Marcel El Kouri—a neuroscientist at the University of Michigan who studies fear and PTSD. Marcel shares what research has taught him about the brain, and also about mentorship and kindness. Read his article below! neighborhoodscientist.org/posts/2025/r...

So far most of our articles have been authored by PhD students and post-docs in the health sciences. We welcome submissions from anyone in a science-related field at any career stage, and we take a broad view of what it means to be a scientist.

You can find our mission, vision, and values here: neighborhoodscientist.org/about/missio...

We’re always accepting submissions for @your.neighborhoodscientist.org! We welcome pitches from anyone who has something to say about science or science policy to the general public. neighborhoodscientist.org/contributing/ #scicomm
