"I belong in this space exactly as I am. I am a scientist." This week, The Story Collider features the personal journeys of our own Maxwell Departee and Han Arbach, Ph.D. From battling self-doubt to finding their true paths, their stories are a testament to the power of living authentically. Join us in celebrating their stories: https://lnkd.in/g7wGMAWd

It sounds like the beginning of a zombie movie, but hear us out! Harmless viruses are helping us study the brain. We recently launched the Allen Genetic Tools Atlas - a browsable collection of enhancer AAVs, mouse transgenes, and more. The first release has an initial focus on the basal ganglia, but we're not stopping there. The Transmitter has the deep dive: https://lnkd.in/gfzExYy8

Our strength comes from multi-disciplinary teams working together toward our common goal - improving human health through the power of open science. We're actively seeking passionate and creative people to join us #AtAllenInstitute. https://lnkd.in/gvN7zU3U
