Practitioners and students preparing for careers in brain science and health will find useful, readily applicable information on this YouTube channel from the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), an association of more than 36,000 neurology and neuroscience professionals (last featured in the 07-06-2018 Scout Report). Highlights include "NeuroBytes," a series of short videos (most are less than five minutes long) covering topics of general interest (e.g., how sleep deprivation affects the brain) and specific to neurology practice (e.g., how to talk to patients about genetic testing). Students especially will benefit from "Inspirational AAN Member Spotlight Series," a playlist highlighting the work of association members, in addition to collections covering neuroscience career pathways (see the "Careers in Neurology" and "Navigating Your Career" playlists) on the Playlists page. A particularly timely series on "COVID-19 (coronavirus) and Neurology" features longer videos (around 30 minutes) discussing the ongoing effects of the pandemic on practitioner training, medical practice, and patient care. Viewers interested in more content from AAN can follow the organization on Twitter (@AANMember), Instagram (@aanbrain), or Facebook (@AmericanAcademyofNeurology).
