Good morning tweeps! I wrote a thing, you should check it out..... Major thanks for my first ever "source" @NMechawar 🥳! Brain banks are key to understanding COVID's mysterious symptoms, but only if people are willing to donate massivesci.com/articles/brain… via Massive Science

Let us introduce you to our new Sci-Art speaker: Matthew Halpenny! Matthew Halpenny is a cross-disciplinary media artist who works between the milieus of biology and technology. You can not miss this talk! This Friday October 30th, 12 pm Register now! convergenceinitiative.org/matthew-halpen…

Are you ready? 💃🏾 It's not too late to register for the first ever #BiNConference2020! Head over to cnlm.formstack.com/forms/blackinn…. We have an exciting line-up planned. Check out the agenda below 👇🏾 (Link to alt-text in thread.) (1/3)

Wanna learn more about science communication? I'm helping WCSFP run a series of FREE #SciComm training workshops over the next few months for students, fellows, and/or faculty in STEM from Canadian post-secondary institutions. Apply here: hotdocs.ca/i/science-comm…

That twitter algorithm is reading me hard today! Sharing the tweet that helped me out just now.

a phd stipend 💀

Job alert! 🚨 I'm obviously biased since it's my lab, but we do cool things with post mortem 🧠!

📢 Calling all Canadian #STEM graduate students and recent graduates, apply for this FREE #SciComm, video editing, and storytelling training weekend. You'll get to create your own "STEM Story" video too! Let's inspire the next generation and empower this generation together. ❤️

Cool study from the alon_chen_lab. Congrats all!

8 frequently asked questions about vaccines, ANSWERED. A collaborative post co-authored by some of your fave of COVID science communicators on Instagram <3 🧵

As we wrap up 2020, it's time for my semi-annual PAID science communications internship thread! There are A LOT of unique opportunities open right now in areas from science writing to outreach to journalism. Feel free to share and add other opportunities too! #scicommjobs

This looks like a fantastic opportunity! I just registered and it was FREE!

In his study published today in eLife - the journal, Yasser Iturria-Medina (Iturria-Medina) and colleagues describe an integrated transcriptomic and neuroimaging brain model that decodes biological mechanisms in aging and #Alzheimers disease. elifesciences.org/articles/62589

What a surreal experience to be selected as a 🧠⭐! Thank you CAN ACN and congratulations to my fellow winners!
