NeurodivergNet is a grassroots network founded by and for neurodivergent employees of the Max Planck Society. A place where people can connect & support one another, as well as a platform for collaboration on raising awareness and advocating for accessibility in the field of #neurodiversity.
With an emphasis on first-hand accounts, this collection @elife.bsky.social provides insights into the diverse experiences of #neurodivergent academics. It also highlights ways that research could become more neuroinclusive. elifesciences.org/collections/... w/th @schulzscience.bsky.social

I wrote a new blog post about being an #AuDHD academic and what life is like with and without wearing a mask...I hope to post blogs more regularly going forward!
Frogs eating giant hornets is a good reminder: biodiverse ecosystems are the best defense we have against invasive species and climate disruption………And they’re the first thing we sacrifice.

It was a privilege to develop the website to showcase the release of this basal ganglia connectome! Congratulations to everyone involved 😊🎉
Check out interactive 3D models, analysis you can perform in your browser, & our interactive matrices; all on the website!

I had a great time taking part in the open day last Saturday!
Working in the MaxLab was a great experience (&humbling, the kids were so smart 🧠). I hope they learned 1/3 much about the science of the senses as I did German! 🧪
Thank for joining us, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did 😊
Thank you so much Nelson!!! 🥹❤️
Thank you Anna!! 🥹💗
Our lab website is finally live www.kornfeldlab.org and it is the most beautiful website I have ever seen in my life... Please have a look at Caitlin's hard work
I am teaching my phd writing workshop course this quarter, question: are there any words/phrases said to you by an advisor/mentor that stuck with you, were memorable, or particularly helpful? If so please reply below!
Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history
It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women

Hello and servus from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence! 👋🏻 From now on we will also share exciting news about our research and our Institute here on Bluesky! 🦋
A starter pack! Some of my favorite women in neuroscience (sorry if I forgot you, I will add!)

Trees covered in snow, the ground has a thick layer of snow
Sign for the Max-Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence and Biochemistry sits in a winter wonderland of snow amongst trees
it is a winter wonderland at @mpiforbi.bsky.social today ❄️ 🌲⛄️
Working alongside such kind and talented colleagues, who are more than happy to share their knowledge and help, has made me feel even more motivated to stay in this field. As a first-gen “academic” it is really hard to feel like you belong in academia, but this lab has done that for me 😊
new Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience book! This initiative led by @thekirbylab.bsky.social,with contributions from amazing scientists (and me 😯) is intended for UG with no presumed college-level science coursework, and presents the foundational pples of brain behavior-environm interactions.
And this is one reason why Egon Musk wants his AFD stooges in power, fascist capitalism.
