I just joined the OSDR today and would love to get involved in neuroscience research if possible. I will be applying for a psychiatry residency this year and intend to pursue a neuropsychiatry fellowship in the future, which would include topics like neurodegeneration.

Fantastic - thanks for joining the AWGs!

@windymc and the sub-group just held their bi-weekly meeting Monday, but will say Windy is amazing, and will get you tied in soon.

Cheers :tada::rocket:

Hi Windy!
I hope there are still opportunities for volunteers with this project? I’m a high school student so I don’t have much expertise, but I can code in Python and if you need any low-level data analysis done, I’m available whenever. Please let me know what I can do to help!
