Every episode of AMiNDR is the result of a huge team effort. Today's episode was scripted and hosted by Naila Kuhlmann, and edited by Michelle Grover. Big thanks to Elyn Rowe, Jacques Ferreira and rest of the sorting team sorting all the papers published in January into themes for our episodes, and props to the whole team that works very hard behind the scenes to make all this possible. 

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic.
