Interested in diving deeper into Python and computational science? Join Patrick F. Bloniasz to learn more! Patrick F. Bloniasz (he/him) is a statistical neuroscientist, adjunct faculty member, and philosopher of science. He holds a BA in Neuroscience (Honors) and Digital and Computational Studies from Bowdoin College and is currently working toward a PhD at Boston University in Computational Neuroscience as a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded graduate fellow. He teaches Foundations in Cognitive Science at New York University. Patrick’s neuroscience work focuses on developing probabilistic and statistical methods for modeling neural time series across emergent spatial scales (e.g., spike trains, LFP, ECoG, and EEG/MEG). Currently, he is using filtered point processes to model and explain biomarkers of propofol anesthesia-induced unconsciousness in humans and macaque monkeys. ??? Join us at 1-2pm ET, 24th November ??

Join Safa A. Karman (Karmanysa) for an informative fireside chat on neuroscience and law in the Arab world. Read more below! Safa Karman graduated from the University of Oxford with a Master of Public Policy (MPP) and is the first Yemeni citizen to have been awarded a degree from Harvard Law School, where she graduated with a Master of Laws (LLM). Previously, she was Co-Founder and Board Member of Be Insan Initiative, the first NGO in Yemen to provide psychological treatment and support for war-zone civilians suffering from war and conflict-related Post-Traumatic Tress Disorder (PTSD). Additionally, she was an investigative journalist and news editor at Al Jazeera Media Network, where she covered complex political issues. Today, she is pioneering the emerging field of neuroscience and law in the Arab world, where it remains an unexplored frontier. A personal tragedy led her to delve into the neuroscience of grief and bereavement, inspiring the founding of REVEALA Media Production. Through Reveala, she aims to bridge the gap between science, culture, language, and personal experience—offering Arab audiences new perspectives and practical tools, while providing scientists and global communities with nuanced insights into Arab culture. ???

Say hello to Inchara A U Athreya who will do a workshop on creating effective presentations to showcase and share your research! ?? Inchara Athreya is doing an MA in Social Sciences Research and a PhD on Academic Misconduct Investigations in Higher Education Institutions on a scholarship and stipend from the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council at the University of Warwick. She was also there for her undergrad in Psychology with Linguistics. At university, she serves as a Student Experience Coordinator and Course Representative for her department. She writes a series of poems called Brain Ballads. It aims to simplify psychological ideas in a manner that is easy for anyone to comprehend, even if they have no background in the subject. The essence of each concept is conveyed through short, relatable poems. The poems range from phenomena like the Bystander Effect all the way to disorders such as Insomnia. This started as posts on social media platforms and has continued till date. In December 2020, she released her first with 18 poems. ???
