#NeuroAcrossTheDiaspora

Tuesday, July 26, 2022

This day is dedicated to highlighting the global presence, experiences and stories of Black neuroscientists across the world. We have assembled scientists outside of the US, UK, and Canada to celebrate this. The African diaspora stretches to Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania and Black In Neuro spans these continents. We believe it is of great importance to give a platform to neuroscientists from these geographies and spotlight their insights and knowledge.

How to Participate

If You’re Black In Neuro

  • If you’re a Black In Neuro community member originally from somewhere other than the US, UK, or Canada, tell us about your experience on Twitter, Instagram or TikTok using the hashtags #NeuroAcrossTheDiaspora and #BINW22. Tag us @BlackInNeuro if you’d like us to share your post!

    • Please try to caption your videos, to ensure that folks who need captions can hear your story! Clipomatic is a great captioning app for iOS, and AutoCap is great for Android. If you generate automated captions, remember to proofread them and correct any errors.

    • When posting images, add alt text so people who are Blind or have low vision can participate fully in the community! Learn more about how to add alt text on Twitter and on Instagram.

  • If you’re a Black In Neuro community member originally from the US, UK or Canada, take this day to listen and learn about the experiences of Black scholars from outside your home country who are pursuing neuroscience-related careers.

    • Search the #NeuroAcrossTheDiaspora hashtag to engage with and amplify the stories being shared.

If You’re an Ally
