Thank you, graduating Neuroscience major, Cate Schick! BBDE (Best Blue Devil Ever!)

Some of you may wish to watch the recording of this webinar that happened yesterday: Teaching Neuroscience: Reviving Neuroanatomy neuronline.sfn.org/training/…
Voices of the Duke Neurology D&I Committee - Neurology Blogs blogs.neurology.org/voices-l… Proud of colleagues in Duke Neurology for sharing some personal reflections in this piece.

Very privileged and humbled to receive this award.
Len White, aka @NeuroscienceNow, reflects on his passion for teaching after receiving the @AAMCtoday's top teaching award: neurology.duke.edu/about/new…
doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage… This paper comes with free access to a new high-resolution, MRI-based atlas application for anyone to explore. Go here to request access civmvoxport.vm.duke.edu/voxb…
doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage… I'm excited to see this paper finally come out after many years of work, mostly by the wonderful 1st and 3rd authors Adil and Lefko who really made this project happen. Highest resolution MRI of the human brainstem ever!
Please consider the thoughtful and compelling message of our colleagues who are both advancing science and calling us all to better understand how systemic racism continues to keep the scientific community from being its very best.

Our personal statement #BLMinBioMed
Our latest paper on what structure can be seen in the mouse brain with ultra-high resolution MRI: doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage…. I think it is quite impressive that it is now possible to resolve cytoarchitectural structure (olfactory glomeruli, cortical barrels and layers) by MRI.

#SfN2018 This morning @Neurosci2018 featured a stunning set of talks on what is now possible with whole organ and even whole body clearing of tissue to enable light-sheet microscopy. These methods are revealing unprecedented views of cells and circuits in the CNS. @MedNeuroMOOC
#SfN2018 S. Viswanathan just gave an incredibly clear and compelling talk on layer 5 neurons in mouse motor cortex that are distinguished in terms of subcortical projections, laminar localization, genetic expression, and behavioral relevance. @MedNeuroMOOC
"Classroom teaching ... is about changing emotional states." Stephen Rosen at a fall teaching conference (Harvard, Sept 2000), as shared by Richard Olivo @SfN Teaching Workshop #SfN2018 @MedNeuroMOOC
#SFN2018 Ann Graybiel's presentation today was really inspiring! So deserving of the Gruber Prize! I especially appreciated her pursuit of circuit-level mechanisms that would seem to explain the results of behavioral experiments. Looking forward to leaning more! @MedNeuroMOOC
Thanks to the Society for Neuroscience and our outstanding moderators for such a brilliant choice for this year's "Dialogues" lecture! This session was as inspiring as it was informative and intellectually stimulating! @SfNtweets @Neurosci2018
#SFN2018 Great point made by Pat Meheny (extraordinary improviser): that the study of an ensemble of musicians improvising on stage is a highly credible and maybe even ideal setting in which to study human consciousness. @MedNeuroMOOC
