A historic day in neuroscience! These studies are a testament to what we can do when we combine team science, big science, and open science. Together we go farther. #studyBRAIN @HongkuiZeng
The first cellular map of a mammalian brain is here. 🧠✨
Over 6 years and 32 million cells in the making, the complete adult mouse brain cell-type atlas reveals astonishing diversity and regional specificity.

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same occupation, and that it largely arises with the birth of the first child.

The world's most valuable skill:
Clarity of thought.
The problem? There's no school for this.
It takes time, patience and a lot of early career fumbling.
Here are 10 cognitive distortions I faced early in my career and an insight on how to break through each one:

Neuroscientists are much better at telling you how the brain doesn’t work than they are at telling you how it does.

Passion for science does NOT have to look like:
▪️Being in the lab 24/7
▪️Publishing countless papers
▪️A high title in #academia
Passion for science can simply be:
✅'I think that thing is really cool, and I'm excited to learn more about it!'

We have to remember that each and every one of us is part of humanity. We must be determined to achieve positive change, but also to take a long view of what needs to be done. What is important is not to become demoralized. Optimism leads to success; pessimism leads to defeat.

These words, from neuroanatomy pioneer Ramón y Cajal well over a century ago, remain current. Since his time, explorations of the brain have only revealed it to be more expansive than perhaps Cajal even imagined.
Happy Birthday, Ramón! 🧠
