I know a very talented researcher who received the @NSF GRFP in neuroscience (amazing!) but was not admitted to any PhD programs this cycle. Any #neuroscience PhD prgms able to consider a trainee with 3 yrs funding so they don't need to decline the award? (Can't defer it seems)

@dacolon Thank you so much for this. This has been difficult for me, as I and some of my female colleagues are runners who often run at conferences. I imagine this happening to me. Also, another thing women deal with: I haven’t found a single news article that calls her Dr.

@mo_foluwa @jordanmarrocco All of those hormones are made in males and females, just in different concentrations. So it's inaccurate to classify some as "female" hormones and some as "male" hormones. The metabolic relationships are correct though (i.e., estradiol is synthesized from testosterone)

Wow, my undergrads are AWESOME. First night of final sci comm presentations (they choose an article & medium for the project) and, wow! We had TikToks, animated videos, a podcast, memes, and a rap. I can’t WAIT until week 2! So proud & impressed 🤓🧠

Aspects of negative mentoring experiences in the lab, as studied by @triple_tuma : 1) lack of career or technical support, 2) absenteeism, 3) abuse of power. Though talk focused on undergrad researchers, I think we can all recognize these same symptoms in #gradEd . #SABER2019

Spread the word far and wide: PhD programs in Neuroscience (among other fields) PAY YOU to study! Tuition and health insurance are covered, and students receive a stipend for living expenses. Travel costs for interviews are covered too!

Hi you can get paid $35,000+ to do research on the brain for 5 or 6 whole years of your life. If you're low income you can apply to grad school for free, if the schools dont require GRE 😊
