Sensitive Periods: A Flux Society Podcast Flux Society

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.

Many of us in developmental cognitive neuroscience aim to make a positive impact on the world through our science. In this episode, we hear from Dr. Natalie Brito and Dr. Katie Insel about their experiences translating their science for different audiences to support developmental opportunities for newborns and adolescents. Along the way, we touch on topics like facing your fears, science communication, the myth of objectivity, and the importance of community and collaboration.
