..AND MANY MORE
Attending a large conference for the first time is exciting, but the experience could be nerve-racking, especially for first-generation students.
Here is some advice to help you navigate and take full advantage of the experience. 👇🏽
We have an opening for a technician to help support neuroscience projects in monogamous prairie voles. Come to cutting-edge work in a cool species with complex social bonding behaviors! Please help spread the word:

Apps are now open for our @SFARIorg and @SCAgingBrain Fellows-to-Faculty award! This RFA is intended for senior postdocs (or equivalent researchers) whose backgrounds and experiences are underrepresented in science. Learn more: simonsfoundation.org/2024/10…#science#neuroscience#autismresearch
Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature.
This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium!

Big day for neuroscience & the end of the beginning for whole brain connectomics. Shout out to @sdorkenw and Philipp Schlegel, first authors of the connectome papers, @MurthyLab@SebastianSeung for establishing #flywire to make this possible and @dddavi for birthing this dataset.

Thinking about submitting an @NSF#GRFP? Check out our latest special episode! @DrNancyPadilla & @AnaMaPorras discuss components of the NSF GRFP application, advice for how to structure your essays and letters, and common mistakes to avoid! #NSFGRFPstoriesofwin.org/profiles/20…
As we're heading into PhD application season, I wrote a post with advice for applying to grad school, drawing from my experience on admissions committees.
Please share with any aspiring PhD students that you know! brains-explained.com/advice-…
Now that we're entering faculty job season, I want to reshare my ✨job search advice doc✨. It compiles all the super helpful advice I received from mentors & includes my own experiences on the market.
Best of luck out there, everyone - you got this! 💪

The application for summer 2025 Grass Fellowships is now live at grassfoundation.org/fellowsh…! Applications are due November 15. Please share with promising early-career neuroscientists. The Fellowship provides 14 weeks of sponsored research support at @MBLScience in Woods Hole, MA.
Cell biologists!
This is a fantastic statistics primer custom made for you. Very practical, must-read!

I am so excited to making progress in understanding Down syndrome using zebrafish. We are also incredibly grateful to @NICHD_NIH and the INCLUDE project for the support.
My favorite line from our editorial "Overall, technological advances in neuroscience follow a repetitive pattern: If you wish to know where brain science in general will be in the future, you might look at what #Drosophila researchers are doing now." 🪰🧠😈💅
