I’ve been part of an AAAS working group on disability inclusion in STEMM this past year We’re now opening it up for feedback: What’s missing? What’s unclear? April 29, 1 PM ET (ASL + CART). Open to all. Register by Apr 24 aaas.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

I'm doing a keynote at UN World Autism Awareness Day today. "Neurodiversity and the Architecture of Inclusion" I’m on at 2:10pm EST Time. To access YouTube livestream, register at tinyurl.com/waad-26 .

This free, family-friendly event is a great chance for kids, adults, and curious minds of all ages to explore neuroscience through hands-on activities and demos. The Wallace Lab will be there with a booth sharing some of our cool work, and we’d love for you to stop by. @vanderbilt.edu

Lab bonding at The Well Coffeehouse ☕ Always nice to take a break, catch up, and spend time together outside the lab. @vanderbilt.edu

We’re excited to share that Wallace Lab PhD student Adam Tiesman has been selected to attend the Neural Systems & Behavior course this summer at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. @vanderbilt.edu

We were excited to spot Hari Srinivasan and Marcus Watson on Vanderbilt’s main social media account. The caption checks out: yes, we are in a cool research lab. @neuroscientist.bsky.social @vanderbilt.edu

We’re proud to share that Hari Srinivasan has been selected for the Society for Neuroscience’s Neuroscience Scholars Program (NSP). Hari will be joining this community of emerging neuroscientists for mentorship, growth, and professional development. @neuroscientist.bsky.social @vanderbilt.edu

We’re thrilled to celebrate Hari Srinivasan and Anna Machado, who have both been inducted into Sigma Xi. This recognition reflects their dedication to research and scholarship, and we are proud to have them representing the Wallace Lab. @neuroscientist.bsky.social

From lab manager to Ph.D. student — we thrilled to have Adam Tiesman back in our lab At the 2025 Simple Beginnings ceremony, incoming Ph.D. students are recognized for their research interests and receive their first embroidered lab coats.

Farewell and congratulations, Eliza! We celebrated our Recruitment Coordinator, Eliza Brandon, as she heads to a new teaching role. We’re grateful for her work and wish her the very best in her next position.

Loved this reflection from @jslbutler.bsky.social on IMRF 2025. The beauty of this conference is exactly that — the mix of perspectives and a true multisensory mosaic. 📍 Durham, UK | #IMRF2025 #MultisensoryResearch #NeuroscienceCommunity #AcademicConferences

John Butler@jslbutler.bsky.social · last yr.

Lastly I get a real buzz at IMRF chatting with modellers, electrophysiologists, EEG and MRI researchers, psychophysicists, developmental and clinical researchers. Or one researcher who encapsulates them all like @wallacelab.bsky.social who gave a beautiful keynote about his research

The whole lab, fully immersed—gathered inside the AR Cave one last time before our summer students head out. Bidding farewell to our incredible summer undergrad RAs—thank you for your energy, curiosity, and all the contributions you’ve made to the lab. Wishing you the best on your next adventures! 🧠
