What were your highlights from this year's BNA Festival 2025? 🧠🤔
We loved meeting so many inspiring neuroscience researchers! 👩🔬👨🔬
We asked 15 of them to share their favourite memory from the @britishneuro.bsky.social event: ow.ly/FSQQ50VPYZ3
#BNA2025 #neuroscience #scienceconferences #lifescience
What began as a hallway chat at @mrccbu.bsky.social with @idoshal.bsky.social grew to a deep conversation and turned into a BNA insight paper. We explored subjectivity in neuroscience from the voices of ECRs.
Endless thanks, dearest Ido, and Nimrod Hertz @britishneuro.bsky.social
👀 Visibility in academia matters more than ever — but how do you do it without feeling awkward? Hear from researchers who’ve been there. 🎧 📺 @britishneuro.bsky.social #BNA2025 #ResearchCareers
