Today's episode was scripted and hosted by Joseph Liang, reviewed by Courtney Kloske, and edited by Joseph Liang. Big thanks to Elyn Rowe and Jacques Ferreira for sorting all the papers published in September 2020 into themes for our episodes, and props to the 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.
