🎉Save the date! Black In Neuro Week 2026 is July 27–Aug 2. We're celebrating our 6th annual BIN Week with returning favorites like #NeuroRacism, #NeuroAcrossTheDiaspora, and #BINRollCall plus a brand new theme: #BlackInTime. ✨ 🧠 #BINW26 #AReimaginedFuture
Promotional graphic for Black In Neuro Week 2026. The design features a retro-inspired sunburst background in shades of orange, gold, cream, blue, and green. At the center is an arch-shaped panel with the text “A Reimagined Future” curved across the top, followed by “Black In Neuro Week 2026.” The Black In Neuro logo, featuring a profile illustration with a brain motif, appears in the center. At the bottom, the dates July 27–August 2 and the hashtag #BINW26 are displayed. Decorative star accents frame the design.
