From the moment you start designing an experiment through your final manuscript, you have decisions to make. This webinar will help you plan and implement your statistical approach, avoid pitfalls, and generate analytics workflows for open, reproducible science.    

In clinical practice, the concept of resilience is a well-known and widely-used term. It is related to this set of coping skills and strategies for day-to-day life.

Srikanth Ramaswamy, PhD, breaks down the emerging field of NeuroAI, including early advances, promises, and challenges, and resources for early career scientists to start learning and contributing to the growing field. For more about Ramaswamy and his journey into NeuroAI, watch this interview on Neuronline. Artificial intelligence (AI) has achieved remarkable feats in recent years, from diagnosing diseases to generating human-like text. Yet, AI systems consume vast amounts of energy, often hallucinate, struggle to adapt to new situations, and fail in unpredictable ways. What if the next breakthrough comes from understanding how our brains actually work? This gap between artificial and natural intelligence is precisely what drives NeuroAI, an emerging field bridging neuroscience and AI that is transforming both disciplines.

In this hour-long webinar, we will discuss how to prepare an informative and engaging abstract, including where to start, how to best convey the key points that will be presented, and how to effectively use the abstract submission system.

Organizing a nanosymposium, or “nano,” is a fantastic opportunity to network and connect with others in your field. Don’t know how to organize a nanosymposium or find others to participate? This webinar will review how to select a topic, identify and recruit others to join the nano, and develop a strong nano proposal.

As a third-year medical student in India, I decided I was going to build a career in neuroscience, and I was going to do it in a whole new country. I did my due diligence, researched everything online, went down the rabbit hole of Reddit threads and medical student forums, and mapped out the steps that I needed to take to achieve this goal. It was also the first time I realized the magic of simply asking for advice.

In this discussion, let’s explore how we can better balance engineering-driven innovation with neuroscience to ensure responsible and biologically grounded advancement.
