Please help us by spreading the word about AMiNDR to your friends, colleagues, and networks! Another way you can help us reach more researchers is by leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts. It helps us a lot and we thank you in advance for leaving a review! 

Every episode of AMiNDR is the result of a huge team effort. Today's episode was scripted and hosted by Glory Nasseri, edited by Michelle Grover, and reviewed by Ellen Koch. The wordcloud (wordart.com) was generated by Sarah Louadi and the bibliography was created by Lara Onbasi. 

Big thanks to the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in June into themes for our episodes: Jacques Ferreira, Elyn Rowe, Ellen Koch, Christy Yu, Nicole Corso, Sarah Louadi, and Naila Kuhlmann. 

Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, and Jacques Ferreira, 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.
