Flux and cognitive neuroscience more broadly are increasingly focused on translating our science for public impact. Yet, we receive little training to know how to do this. In this episode, we hear from Dr. Daniela Schiller and Dr. Bradley Voytek about their journeys through science communication, which include creating a graduate course teaching SciComm and writing a popular neuroscience book. Along the way, we touch on benefits for your own science, starting small, pursuing passions, and more.

We are excited for a special episode this month, as guest host Dr. Arielle Keller (@ArielleKeller) interviews Dr. Jennifer Pfeifer (@jennDSN), the 2024 Flux Linda Spears Mid-Career Award Winner.
Dr. Pfeifer is incredibly deserving of this award and gratiously provided her time to discuss her career development, advice to trainees, balancing life and work, and much more. As always, she was very reflective and insightful, and we hope you enjoy the conversation.
Many thanks as well to Dr. Keller for hosting this episode! If you would like to host an episode yourself, please reach out. This is a great opportunity for researchers at varying career stages to discuss topics you care deeply about and improve your science communication skills.

In this episode, we turn our attention to research by and with people of the global
majority. Children and adolescents in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin
America comprise a large majority of the world's population. Yet their data
experiences and perspectives are marginalized in developmental research,
including in developmental cognitive neuroscience. In this episode, we'll chat
about developmental science involving people of the global majority and how
trainees might play a role in the future of this work. We're joined by amazing guests Drs. Sarael Alcauter, Lucia Magis-Weinberg, and Gabriel Scheidecker

Much of our research doesn't exist without the families that participate. Community-engaged research seeks to bring those families to the table to learn from their expertise and lived-experiences. To learn more about how developmental cognitive neuroscientists are doing this work, we are joined by Drs. Arianna Gard & Kalina Michalska. We discuss the importance of community-engaged research, how to get started, and how this might look at different career stages.

Open science is becoming increasingly important in our field, yet the nuances of it can be intimidating for trainees. To think about how trainees in developmental cognitive neuroscience can best engage in preregistrations, we're joined by a renowned expert Dr. Russell Poldrack. We discuss general purposes of preregistrations, do's and don'ts, how to address common mistakes, and more!

Applying to Ph.D. programs is one of the most important, exciting, and stressful periods of the scientific journey. To provide perspectives and tips for graduate school applications, we're joined by Dr. Laurel Gabard-Durnam, a faculty member at Northeastern University and Ellie Taylor, a lab manager at the University of Maryland and current graduate school applicant. We touch on numerous topics along our way, including when to apply, tips for building the best application, and the importance of self care. We hope this episode is useful for any trainee currently applying or considering applying to graduate school in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or related fields.
