Finally out! Congrats to all the contributors!

Our Summer Scholars presented their work yesterday at the Summer Undergraduate Research Conference. Congats to Brianna Blaine, Lydia Watkins & Mostafa Telfah. We are proud of the work they have done and eager to see what comes next for these neuroscientists!

Join us in Chicago on Oct. 3-4 for the 22nd annual MCCS meeting! Speakers include Ted Abel, Steve Ramirez, Paul Frankland, Jelena Radulovic, Scott Waddell, Asya Rolls, Ayako Watabe, and Yi Zhong. Early registration & abstract deadline 9/2. Please RT! Frick Neuro Lab Sheena Josselyn

After more than a decade of research, a team including Brian Dlouhy, MD, has identified an area in the brain that may cause SUDEP, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy—responsible for more than 3,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. spr.ly/6014YfDoC

Congratulations Banu Gumusoglu!

This is a great opportunity. Apply or spread the word.

Tempest is one of our rockstar iDREAM scholars and you will definitely want to meet her Society for Neuroscience (SfN) in Chicago!

#FirstGen student brain research workshop wrapped up last week. Always nice to have a highlight in the last week of summer. Now back to the regularly scheduled grind.

Excited to share our storiesofWiN special episode about Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Annual Meeting. After attending 10 times and too often being overwhelmed, I share a lot of useful advice for how to make the most of your SfN meeting. open.spotify.com/episode/552qpA…

Abstract deadline extended to Tuesday September 10th - submit your #SFN abstracts to be considered to speak at the MCCS Symposium

Dear colleagues, Do you have students who are interested in applying to Psychology graduate programs? If so, my department is holding its annual diversity weekend for prospective graduate students (psychology.uiowa.edu/diversity-even…). Please reach out if you have questions.
