Open Call for Papers
Oxford Open Neuroscience Special Issue: Picture a “Black in Neuro” Scientist
We’re thrilled to announce that we are curating our first-ever Special Issue of Black In Neuro Scientists to be published in Oxford Open Neuroscience!
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
Get ready to prepare your manuscripts
The official Call for Papers will be released right after the Black In Neuro Conference 2025.
This special issue will spotlight the brilliance, diversity, and innovation across our community, from micro to macro, wet lab to dry lab, and every intersection in between. Together, we will celebrate and amplify the voices of Black In Neuro members, showcasing the breadth of our contributions to neuroscience and beyond.
Stay tuned for updates! You won’t want to miss this milestone.
