Schroeder Lab website is now live! 🔥 Check it out 🤩 to learn about who we are, what we do to study how the brain gives rise to internal states that drive adaptive behavior 🧠, and how you can join the team 👇 🧪 Spread the word! www.annaschroederlab.com
Looking forward to this symposium and to my first visit to @dandrite.bsky.social next week. See you in Aarhus @avstempel.bsky.social, @fionamuellner.bsky.social and @lukechaosun.bsky.social!

🧵How to write and manage your first research budgets
The point of funding is to convert it into quality research. A well-spent research budget should fund the idea it was raised on, plus revision experiments, plus preliminary data for the next grant. So you need to spend, while avoiding waste.
