Only two years since we started running the CaMinA course and its impact is already visible 💫🌍 Read 👇 how it had helped two of our graduates.
CaMinA is shaping the future of neuroscience! Thank you to @SWC_Neuro @EtienneKiilu and Joy Alejo for collaborating on this brilliant piece. Find out more: sainsburywellcome.org/web/blog/shapi…
Our students kicked off the week with Spikeling from @OpenSourceNeuro, seeing neurons fire live and making theory real. Then they explored the Allen Institute Brain Atlas, preparing for upcoming projects. Thanks to @OpenSourceNeuro & @AllenInstitute for supporting #TReNDCaMinA
What a way to crown Day 1! Just like neurons, our students fire better when they connect 🧠 Laughter, games & shared excitement lit up the kickoff of the TReND-CaMinA Summer School @UnzaOfficial 🇿🇲 The journey’s just begun… stay tuned!
🎉 The wait is over! Cohort 3 of the TReND-CaMinA Summer School kicks off today at the University of Zambia 🇿🇲✨ Africa’s future scientists are diving into #Neuroscience & #MachineLearning. Stay tuned for their stories, lessons & breakthroughs in the coming days! @UnzaOfficial
Great research, excellent beer and the coolest people ever (if I say so myself 😉) Join us!!
Postdoc opportunity in the heart of Europe! Check out the flyer below. Join our team on an international project with Anthony Holtmaat @teuntoonenaug exploring synaptic plasticity and specificity in cortical and thalamocortical circuits.
Thrilled to receive a MSCA Fellowship for my research @joris_dewit_lab @CBD_VIB !🧠🔬 I will explore how cell surface proteins shape thalamocortical circuits in somatosensory processing. Congrats to my fellow Marie Curie fellows @VIBLifeSciences ! #SynapseResearch #Neuroscience
Big welcome to our 7 new Marie Curie fellows! 🤩 These Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) of the EU offer postdoctoral fellowships to young talented researchers. 👉 Find out who’s joining us: vibbio.tech/4beyl7T
Heartbreaking, powerful, and a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. 💔🇸🇩 Grateful to be part of a community that stands together, learns together, and supports each other beyond borders. #Sudan #Solidarity #CaMinA #ScienceForChange
As we are waiting for our team to finalise the selection of this year’s participants, we would like to take the opportunity to create awareness on an issue that arose almost two years ago in Africa and has not received enough attention from the media: The civil war in Sudan. /n
Love for #ComputationalNeuroscience Can Also Be Your #Valentine! Our students left TReND CaMinA's Neuroscience SummerSchool #inspired and #grateful. Here’s a special video from our 2024 cohort with a beautiful message: "Thank you, TReND CaMinA, we love you!" #Neuroscience
So happy to see the continued interest in #TReNDCaMinA! 🙌 The steady high number of applications over the years is truly inspiring. Excited to review all the amazing talent we’ll be bringing to Zambia! #Science #Education #Africa
🚨Applications are now CLOSED!🚨 We received an incredible 555 applications🎉- a testament to the amazing talent across Africa! Now, the hard work begins: selecting the 20 students who will join us for this transformative neuroscience school. Stay tuned!🧠✨#NeuroAfrica
In July, students from all corners of Africa will come to @UnzaOfficial to learn cutting-edge tools for analyzing neuroscience data. Learn more about the @TReNDinAfrica workshop and how to apply for this summer's cohort. Deadline is Jan. 31.👇 alleninstitute.org/news/trend-cam…
