Applying to Neuroscience PhD programs this fall? Why not add UC Berkeley to your list! (WiN 2021 Alum Samantha Jackson is a PhD Candidate in Neuroscience at UC Berkley!) The Berkeley Neuro Student Advocacy Committee (SAC) is hosting their 5th Annual AMA Panel on October 31st at 1pm PST over?zoom?(it will not be recorded). The panel will consist of five current Berkeley Neuro PhD students who will answer any of your questions about Berkeley or about demystifying the application process in general. In addition to the panel, they are also offering one-on-one application help from Berkeley graduate students. While application help is not a guarantee of admission, it is another valuable resource to receive feedback from graduate students who just went through the same process recently.?Sign up for both opportunities: https://lnkd.in/grDEKm7C If you have any additional questions, feel free to email [email protected]. #neuroscience #brain #science

I'm incredibly excited to share that I've officially completed my first week of medical school and had the honor of receiving my WHITE COAT! This journey is about more than just learning medicine…it's about serving others, upholding ethical standards, and continually seeking to improve my knowledge and skills to provide the best care possible. As I step into this new chapter, the words of the Physician's Pledge resonate deeply with me: "I will dedicate my life to the service of humanity." I'm excited and humbled to be on this path. I know there will be challenges, but I’m ready to face them with determination and passion, and I look forward to growing alongside my classmates and future colleagues. To all those who’ve supported me along the way, thank you! - Student Doctor Marilyn Quacoe-Dameshie ????

Meet AU Expert and American University School of Education professor Brian McGowan. His research centering experiences of Black college students and minoritized individuals is at the forefront of conversations about race and equity in higher education. “My work is deliberate—to see Black students as assets, to lift up their experiences, to lift up their humanity. To help stakeholders in higher education understand those experiences, but, more importantly, design policies [and] create climates on campus for Black students to succeed.” #AUChangeCantWait
