WOW Sarah Flores just crushed it at the UCSD undergraduate research conference!!! 🎉👏🏼🔥 So proud to be your mentor!!

Kay M Tye PhD Fergil Mills Hao Li Jianna Cressy Caroline Jia (she/hers) Another special thank you to everyone from Colors of the Brain for being such an amazing support system. I’m forever impacted from your efforts to uplift underrepresented scientists (like myself). Thank you Christian Cazares, PhD 🇲🇽🧠 for your undying dedication & support! Much love to the community 🙏

Our 2.5 gpa GPA minimum for Colors of the Brain means we sometimes award students near academic probation. Sometimes they're 'super-seniors' too. But in reading their responses and listening to their interviews, we believe they can succeed in neuroscience research. Excited for cohort 4!

📢NIH is pleased to announce revisions to the fellowship application and review process for grant submission deadlines on or after 1/25/25.

The goal is to improve the chances that the most promising fellowship candidates will be consistently identified. go.nih.gov/dvZKwiE

rejected from brain initiative trainee spotlight! posting the Ls too

occasionally this paper makes the rounds, & while I am definitely a fan of catchy titles, this feels too simplifying. 1) only ERP-related metrics are tested & 2) comparison of preprocessing methods would be much better if ground truth was known ➡️ why not do a simulation study?

Congrats to our 2024 SACNAS at Salk Travel Award Recipients! 🎉🎉They have demonstrated a strong dedication to promoting DEI at Salk, community outreach both within and beyond the Salk community, and the drive to enrich their professional development. 👏👏

Nos vemos mañana / see you tomorrow!

first time getting profiled by campus police 😅 i matched the description, here I thought i was being fashionable with grey pants, black sweater and black beanie 👀

We are conducting a study to understand professional experiences in computing within the context of biology. 💻🌱

If you are in a biology-related field AND use some amount of computing (e.g. writing code) in your current role, indicate interest here: forms.gle/YXozM6Wx2Zwmru…

ive worked briefly with jeff and I think this was more of a case of UCSD not having it's shit together

anyone else get existential dread looking through this

the student finalists we interview for Colors of the Brain get better and better every year🤩 the future looks bright

Please share! Here's our latest preprint on the university-wide mentorship program BUMMP, highlighting its profound impact on biology students from all backgrounds. In 4 years, this pioneering initiative has served over 1,350 mentees!!!

SD IRACDA is now accepting applications! Join a diverse community of biomedical postdocs & receive rigorous and comprehensive training in research, teaching, & other critical academic skills. Applications due May 1st!

The BRAINS program is now accepting applications for its 2024 cohort! Early-career applicants from any area of #neuroscience and early-career researchers with expertise at the intersection of neuroscience and society should apply. April 18: brains.uw.edu #neurosociety

I'll chat about the trial and error involved in balancing PhD duties with Colors of the Brain , which came down to selecting an empathetic thesis advisor and learning how to ask for help from colleagues who share similar goals. I'll also share resources for those with different needs.

Our speakers for April! Science talks will be in spanish and refreshments will be provided!
