A brilliant engineer/mathematician who was denied entry to engineering schools but went on to design ships for the navy, working her way up from typist and taking computer classes at night. Raye Montague dies at 83. Please celebrate her and tell her story

This evening my mom, Skai Varkalis Ahern, died in NYC. She survived infection with COVID19, but she never recovered enough to leave a hospital bed. She died after developing a bacterial infection. 1/

Done - submit your paper as a single PDF in any format to JNeurosci. We will review and you will only have to reformat if we invite a revision @SfNJournals @SfNtweets

BethAnn McLaughlin is no longer on the editorial board of JNeuroscience and does not have access to the @JNeuroscience Twitter account. Dissemination of false information is incompatible with the principles of JNeurosci

There’s something odd about this picture someone just posted from a symposium on the future of synaptic vesicle science, but I can’t quite put my finger on it...

So this is it - the last time I get to Tweet the cover of JNeurosci as EiC. Thank you authors, reviewers, editors and readers! You make JN the kind of journal I have been proud to be part of ❤️jneurosci.org/content/42/50?…

Who thinks neurons are the most beautiful cells? And I bet a lot of you have pictures to back it up

Having a cohort matters. Critical mass matters. One in a room sits silent. Two in a room exchange glances. Three in a room start to make a difference

A recent PNAS study found that high-performing women have one thing in common: they have a tight-knit circle of other women who help them with “gender-specific private information and support. @Refinery29 ow.ly/jNyK30nIu9F Article source: ow.ly/3jVe30nIu7j

The discovery of nerve growth factor would have been impressive even if the work hadn’t started in her bedroom while hiding from the Nazi’s, but Dr. Levi Montalcini’s story and tenacity are phenomenal

Also, women in their 20’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Women in their 70’s want Calphalon.

The time has come. Many of you have never held a hard copy of JNeurosci in your hands and have never wanted to. Some of you have framed cover(s) on your walls (I've seen them!) This is the last issue to appear both in print and online. Farewell, print 😢 jneurosci.org/content/40/50?…

Whoever tweeted yesterday that you can hold down the space bar on your phone and use it to move your cursor: YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE! It may have only improved your life 1%, but it has turned mine upside down. Thank you! I will shout this to the world

Earlier this week students asked what kept me going through difficult times during my PhD. I had an "Alternate Career of the Week" so that I knew I had other possibilities and was making an active choice to stay in grad school. What's your favorite Alternate Career of the Week?
