Today's episode was scripted, hosted & edited by Judy Cheng, reviewed by Marcia Jude,  and made possible by an entire team of volunteers behind the scenes.  Thanks to Elyn Rowe and Jacques Ferreira for sorting all of the September 2020 abstracts into themes. 

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic
