The Transmitter Partners With World Wide Neuro and Brain Inspired, Building on Mission to Inform, Connect Neuroscience Community
The Transmitter, a leading neuroscience publication, has partnered with World Wide Neuro and Brain Inspired to further its commitment to supporting the neuroscience community in staying up to date on new developments and building connections with others in the field.
Launched in November 2023, The Transmitter provides essential news and expert insights across neuroscience disciplines. World Wide Neuro (WWN) has become a popular hub, offering information on upcoming neuroscience conferences and seminars; Brain Inspired, a podcast hosted by neuroscientist Paul Middlebrooks, focuses on the intersection of neuroscience and natural and artificial intelligence, featuring far-ranging discussions on such topics as consciousness and philosophy.
“WWN and Brain Inspired are terrific, mission-driven resources that meet important information needs for the neuroscience community, and we’re excited to be working with them,” said Ivan Oransky, The Transmitter’s editor-in-chief. “Our new partners will help further our mission to curate essential neuroscience updates, while building a digital community that fosters knowledge-sharing and collaboration. We look forward to establishing more partnerships in the future.”
Both the WWN and Brain Inspired content and topics will be promoted on The Transmitter site and in the newsletter, and both platforms will highlight select content from The Transmitter.
“We launched World Wide Neuro in 2020 during the pandemic to connect people that were stuck at home but wanted to continue to talk and hear about science. With time, we realized it’s a great resource for upcoming and past [recorded and DOI-assigned] conference talks and seminars, especially for more out-of-the-way places, and to address climate-sensible reductions of travel,” said Tim Vogels, professor of theoretical neuroscience and research leader at the Institute of Science and Technology in Austria and co-founder of WWN. “Partnering with The Transmitter will help keep our momentum and grow with greater awareness and reach.”
Said Middlebrooks, “I am thrilled to join the team as a contributor and collaborate on various new initiatives, and to exchange ideas and knowledge, while supporting The Transmitter’s mission to spread the word about neuroscience. Our collaboration will help both Brain Inspired and The Transmitter reach a larger audience, expanding the community’s understanding of the cutting-edge research and novel theories emerging at the interface of neuroscience and AI.”
