If you're an African American college student with dreams about understanding the brain, email me an essay about those dreams--I'd be so grateful to hear your story. I will give a 6K scholarship to one person as a tiny token of encouragement #BlackLivesMatter #HBCU #TinySteps

Congratulations Ann Kennedy!!

Your move, Caltech.

As we search for unifying principles that underlie deeply complex phenomena, modern science necessitates large collaborative efforts. Glad to see that India is making a concerted effort to bring it's scientists together!

“Part of me wishes I could say that my experience was unique. But the truth is that intellectual curiosity—let alone risk-taking—is now a liability at The Times.” The New York Times please do better.

I’m delighted to announce the winner of the scholarship, Isaias Ghezae from UCSB. His early experience with injustice has taken him on a thrilling intellectual path. Read his inspiring story & share in his joy of discovery, borne of pain Black In Neuro 🧠 dropbox.com/s/up01duhl3xjd…

Recently published work from the lab of Doris Tsao shows that the brain contains a two-dimensional map of cells representing different objects. ow.ly/FTKy50BiCsh
