📢 Human Neuroscience Trainee Seminar Series This monthly seminar series offers graduate students and postdoctoral scholars a chance to present their research to the Rutgers University #neuroscience community. 🗓 Monday, March 31, 12 PM 👤 Carrisa Cocuzza, Postdoctoral Fellow (Supervisor: Avram Holmes)

It’s 11:30 pm and I just completed and submitted a grant due at midnight - this is the closest I get to an adrenaline rush as an academic 😅 … 🤘🏽

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

I'm thrilled to share that my graduate school project was just published in Nature Mental Health! We found that resting-state functional network predictors are more similar within vs between categories of internalizing and externalizing behavior in children (ABCD), adolescents (HBN) and adults (HCP)
