Science requires communication. And the science is better when we communicate honestly and openly throughout the process. Great piece, @ofgulban.bsky.social !
In this blog post I am exploring the strange tension between rigor, reach, and recognition in modern science.

Since our first chats, it was clear @thetransmitter.bsky.social's team valued the openness, accessibility, and early career-focused efforts across the OHBM community highlighted by @ohbm-com.com—all while building The Transmitter into a fantastic resource for all neuroscientists.

As part of a new partnership, we are excited to announce the launch of a joint quarterly newsletter with @ohbmofficial.bsky.social. Together, we want to connect neuroscientists across different subfields who share a common interest in human brain mapping.
