Do folks have lists of postdoc fellowship opportunities for non-US citizens working in the US with reasonable funding rates? I feel like I’ve seen some go around but now can’t find them. Any suggestions welcome! #neuroscience #postdoc #fellowship #funding

I just got asked to review and it had some substantial pay associated with it. Amazing how much that changes how you think about it and the time it takes. #academia #review

@npub1skv…aky3 all good thoughts here.
I would add giving people more ways to evaluate based on potential rather than output. I think it has to be balanced, but how many times have we heard that we can’t get funded to do the thing, until we’ve actually done the thing?

Question for the #stem #neuro #neuroscience folks: I just got asked to do an informal Q&A (over Zoom) with an organization called ScienceHolic (https://www.scienceholic.org/) for high school students. Anyone have experience with them?
