Hi Black In Neuro 🧠! I am Caleb, rising senior UConn Physiology & Neurobiology in the Alexander Jackson studying cells, synapses, and circuits in the hypothalamus! For fun I’m a TEDx organizer (Year 5). Hope to apply to grad school for neuro this fall! Interests are in Alzheimer’s/Aging Biology! #BINW22

yessss it's #BINW22 !! I'm Sama Ahmed, finishing my postdoc in the Murthy Lab at Princeton Neuroscience Institute and starting my lab at UW Psychology in 5 weeks ! We test how circuit interactions constrain behavior by studying how flies multitask ! Black In Neuro 🧠 #BlackInNeuroRollCall

Advice to aspiring neuroscientists from our #NeuroAcrossTheDiaspora panel “It’s hard in the beginning, but you CAN do it. Ask for help when needed” Aléxia Micaella “Don’t be afraid to acknowledge your flaws. Acknowledging them will then allow you to move past them” Ofure Alero

Dr. Ridder’s take on imposter syndrome: “When you’re in an environment that doesn’t reflect you and is hostile towards you, of course you’re going to feel like you don’t belong” There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s the environment that needs to be fixed. ❤️

Very late to the party but happy #BINW22 !! My name is Nkatha and I am a 2nd year grad student in the @LernerLab at Northwestern University. I am studying the neural circuitry of punishment resistant reward seeking behavior. #BlackInNeuroRollCall

🚨 Requesting example applications for postbac scholars✨ If you’ve: •been accepted into a neuroscience or clinical psych PhD program •been awarded the NSF GRFP & don’t mind sharing your docs with some hopeful postbac students, please DM me! ❤️ #AcademicChatter #PhDchat

🚨job alert🚨 DePaul Biology Dept. is #hiring for an Asst. Prof Looking for folks who study development at any level, enjoy teaching, and value mentoring UG and MS students. DePaul has an awesome and diverse student body and Lincoln Park (Chicago) is beautiful. Happy to chat!
