I put together a list of neuroscience job openings to make it easier for people at my Institute to find jobs. I wanted to share it here too 🧠 Tabs cover assistant professor, senior, and related non-PI roles. Updated Oct 12. The Read Me explains more. Please share! #neuroscience #neurojobs #postdoc

Passing through the Bighorns after visiting Sheridan College - on the way to Northwest College. Community colleges provide affordable access to higher ed for millions and enroll twice the number of students than all the private colleges and universities combined.

Yes, whole genome sequencing gets cheaper every day. But I’m holding out for when they start paying us for the privilege of sequencing our samples.
