🐁From Academia to Action: Why I Created Neuronautix 🚀
Six months ago, I made a tough decision: I left academia. After 10 years of research, it wasn’t easy, but one thing is certain—I’m a Scientist 🧑‍🔬, and I want to stay one.
This is why I founded Neuronautix.

THIS is exactly the resource that was missing during my PhD: a place to exchange and learn from behavioral experts! It would have saved me hundreds of hours adapting protocols "no one" knew how to apply properly!!
Do you have a question regarding a behavioral protocol ?
You want to share a new tool that helped your research?
Or you just want to connect with the behavioral research community?
