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, hosted and edited by Joseph Liang. The bibliography was created by Jacques Ferreira and the wordcloud was 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, and to our managers Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch and Anusha Kamesh, for keeping everything running smoothly.

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.

If you are interested in joining the team, send us your CV by email. 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.
