Do you have a plan to celebrate Brain Awareness Week? There is still time: Grab some inspiration for classroom activities to support the global campaign, running March 16–22. #BAW2026 #BrainAwarenessWeek #BrainWeek vist.ly/4uemn
In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth, celebrate the many contributions women have made to the field of neuroscience. vist.ly/4u9sh
Sunlight informs your circadian rhythm and trains you to sleep at night. Your cell phone light can throw this off balance and damage your sleep habits. vist.ly/4u6m3
“There's always experiments that you can do. But what are you trying to discover?” Wilsaan Joiner reminds us why breaking science down for everyone matters in this #AskaNeuroscientist.
Wilsaan Joiner describes how a simple experiment on bees’ vision and smell can be important for our environment. As environmental changes alter bees’ senses, they may have trouble finding nectar, hurting their ability to navigate an ecosystem and pollinate. #AskaNeuroscientist
“If we talk about science in our own language, it can get lost.” Wilsaan Joiner reminds us in this #AskaNeuroscientist why simplifying science into everyday language matters. @ucdavis.bsky.social
Much like how cities are consistently remodeled and renovated, your brain isn't set in stone. #BAVC vist.ly/4tz4b
We may not often think about the vestibular system — but it's key to standing, walking, and knowing where we are in space, Wilsaan Joiner explains. Lose it, and everything else becomes harder.
The collaborative nonprofit in Baltimore aims to make a path for inclusive brain research. vist.ly/4t6wc
Why is designing prosthetics for kids such a challenge? Wilsaan Joiner breaks it down in this #AskaNeuroscientist — describing a “catch-22.” Devices are expensive and often abandoned, so better ones aren’t built. But his team’s research aims to change that. @ucdavis.bsky.social
Scientists trained AI to recognize patterns in brain activity that differ between sexes. vist.ly/4syrx
Cold-water exposure may jolt your system. But can it affect the way you think? #BAVC vist.ly/4sprb
Hear neuroscientists answer questions about the field and how the brain works in our new #AskaNeuroscientist series! 🧠 Meet our first scientist: Wilsaan Joiner, a neurobiology professor working to develop better prosthetics for kids who need them. @ucdavis.bsky.social
Many Black neuroscientists have made pioneering advances in the field, overcoming systemic obstacles. Such contributions enrich our comprehension of brain science, spurring the forthcoming generation of neuroscientists. vist.ly/4s67z neuroscience-020326
