Please help us by spreading the word about AMiNDR to your friends, colleagues, and networks!

It helps us a lot and we thank you in advance for leaving a review! 

Our team of volunteers works together to bring you every episode of AMiNDR. In particular, this episode was scripted, hosted and edited by Sarah Louadi, and reviewed by Kira Tosefsky and Ellen Koch. The bibliography and wordcloud were created by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com). 

Big thanks to the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in August 2021 into themes for our episodes: Jacques Ferreira, Ellen Koch, Nicole Corso, Kate Van Pelt, Christy Yu, Dana Clausen and Elyn Rowe. 

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.
