Best, Giovanna From: Tanvi Banota Date: Thursday, June 18, 2026 at 1:05?PM To: Guerrero-Medina, Giovanna Subject: Paid science comedy communication course [https://yaleconnect.yale.edu/read/db3427aa-6b37-11f1-81ee-0affefdd1d0f.png] [YSC Banner] Dear Giovanna, We're sharing this message on behalf of the Hello SciCom team - see details below! Hello SciCom is recruiting participants for a paid 8-week virtual Science Comedy Communication course this fall. Participants will learn how to use humor to make science, health, technology, and research more engaging for the public. By the end of the course, they?ll develop a 3-minute public-facing talk about why their work matters. No comedy experience needed. This is a good fit for scientists, researchers, clinicians, educators, public health professionals, STEM communicators, and anyone trying to make complex ideas clearer, funnier, and more memorable. Find the full application information and form here. Deadline: June 30th, 2026. Participants will receive a small stipend. Their anonymized work will also help inform a University of Utah study on science communication. Support for this program is provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of the Foundation. Please feel free to forward this to anyone who might be a fit. And if this sparks an idea for your own team, event, campaign, or client, check us out at Hello SciCom. We?re always happy to brainstorm ways to make STEM communication more entertaining and effective. Questions can go to info at hellosci.com.

Best, Giovanna Giovanna Guerrero-Medina, PhD [A button for name playback in email signature] She/Her/Ella Asst. Director for Professional Development & Community Wu Tsai Institute Yale University giovanna.guerrero-medina at yale.edu Book a meeting with me From: NINDS Training Office Date: Wednesday, June 17, 2026 at 9:36?AM To: NINDSTRAINING at LIST.NIH.GOV Subject: Help us spread the word about the ACTION Potential F99/K00: NIH Transition Award for Neuroscience Trainees Dear Colleagues, We ask for your help in advertising the below opportunity to interested graduate students. Please let us know if you have questions. We're excited to announce a new opportunity for neuroscience graduate students interested in an independent research career: the ACTION Potential Award, administered through the Parent F99/K00 funding opportunity. It is supported by the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research and the BRAIN Initiative. You can learn more about this opportunity below and at our upcoming webinar on NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research and BRAIN Initiative training opportunities on Thursday, July 16, 2026 at 2pm - 3pm EDT (Register here). About the Award The two-phase Academic Career Transition Initiative for Opportunities in Neuroscience (ACTION) Potential award supports you through the end of your PhD and into a postdoctoral position: ? F99 (PhD phase): 1-2 years of funding and structured support to help you finish your dissertation ? K00 (Postdoc phase): 3 years of continued funding and mentorship as you start your postdoc The program is designed to make the PhD-to-postdoc transition less daunting. You'll get a formal training plan, a vetted mentor or mentor team, annual meetings with a cross-institutional neuroscience community, and career development programming ? all aimed at setting you up for an independent research career. Supported Research The award is open to graduate students from a wide range of fields within neuroscience. You don't need to stay within a single institute's mission across PhD and postdoctoral training. The program is supported by the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research and the BRAIN Initiative, which are funded by multiple NIH Institutes who pool their resources to support the field as a whole. Your research must fit within the neuroscience mission of one of the participating institutes or offices: NCCIH, NEI, NIA, NIAAA, NIBIB, NICHD, NIDA, NIDCD, NIDCR, NIEHS, NIMH, NINDS, OBSSR. How to Apply Apply through the Parent F99/K00 funding opportunity (PA-27-037). Help us identify your interest in this program by referencing the "Neuroscience Blueprint" in section A. Overall Training Goals, under Goals, Preparedness, and Potential in the Candidate Section. Note that final determination of mission fit is done by NIH staff.
