As grants started getting cancelled a few months ago, I felt compelled to give a voice to scientists whose work has been targeted & share with the public what they do & why it is so vital. Happy to announce the start of my new podcast, Science Amplified open.spotify.com/episode/6aUZHa…

Community matters now more than ever. These wonderful experts will introduce you to submitting an abstract for #SfN2025 #neuroscience
