Bianca Williams,Lead Us Not Into Error: Practical Advice From Statistical Reviewers
Bianca Williams posted a calendar event in Community Calendar,
Register Now!
Statistical analyses can reveal important patterns in neuroscience data but can also lead us into error. This webinar will give practical advice on issues that often come up during statistical reviews of manuscripts—it will explain the most common pitfalls and how to avoid them. Topics will include covariate selection, sample-size planning, and p-value interpretation. The workshop will consist of short talks from experienced statistical reviewers and an interactive discussion.

Bianca Williams,Exercise in Brain Health and Disease
Bianca Williams posted a calendar event in Community Calendar,
REGISTER HERE!
This webinar is open access and registration is complimentary.
Sedentary behavior is on the rise, resulting in an increased prevalence of preventable life-limiting diseases, including those affecting the brain. This is despite evidence showing that physical activity is one of the most important modifiable lifestyle factors that supports good brain health throughout life and improves quality of life in old age. In this webinar, we will discuss different mechanisms by which exercise positively influences brain health and function across the lifespan, from modulation of inflammation to regulation of adult neurogenesis.

Bianca Williams,April's Neuronline Recap
Bianca Williams posted a topic in New From Neuronline!,
📺Teaching Neuroscience: Reviving Neuroanatomy
Students often find neuroanatomy a daunting exercise of rote memorization in a dead language. Watch this workshop to learn how to make neuroanatomy a more approachable topic and exciting area of focus for students.
📺Genetic Forms of Dementia in a Unique Clinical Setting — The Story of Colombia
In this on-demand webinar as a part of the Meet the Experts collection, Kenneth Kosik discusses international research that meshes clinical experience with molecular biology and neurogenetics. This work focuses on the largest kindred of familial Alzheimer’s disease in the world, located in Columbia, and is the basis of a trial for a prevent drug administered before the onset of dementia symptoms.
📄Expanding Diversity in Biomedical Sciences at Historically Black Colleges
Melissa Harrington of Delaware State University, a Historically Black institution, has a keen appreciation of the potential for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to enhance diversity in biomedical sciences.
Read and watch as Harrington and Christine Charvet explain the challenges of and potential solutions for enhancing diversity in STEM fields and hear from two students benefiting from DSU’s efforts.
📄Be Prepared to Defend Against Animal Rights Oppositional Efforts
Read this recap article of the webinar SfN hosted, How to Prepare for, Defend Against, and Recover from Animal Rights Oppositional Efforts, featuring Katalin Gothard, Eric Nestler, Sharon Juliano, and Matthew Bailey. Due to the sensitivity of the topic, the webinar was not recorded.

Kenneth Kosik will discuss international research that meshes clinical experience with molecular biology and neurogenetics. This work focuses on the largest kindred of familial Alzheimer’s disease in the world and is the basis of a trial for a prevent drug administered before the onset of dementia symptoms. The research team has sequenced additional cases with early-onset dementia and uncovered numerous novel mutations. The close relationship of the researchers and families has created a strong compassionate element to the project.
