We would like to thank our amazing team for all of the work that goes into every episode of AMiNDR. Today's episode was scripted and hosted by Courtney Kloske, reviewed by Marcia Jude, and edited by Michelle Grover. The bibliography and  wordcloud were generated by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com). Big thanks to sorting manager Elyn Rowe and the rest of the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in January into themes for our episodes, to our managers Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch and Anusha Kamesh, for keeping everything running smoothly, 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.

We are specifically looking for help with sorting abstracts by topic, abstract summaries and hosting, creating bibliographies, and promotions. However, if you are interested in helping in other ways, don't hesitate to apply anyways.
