ANNUAL
REPORT
DEAR WiN COMMUNITY,
2022 was another big year for Women in Neuroscience! In our
fifth summer of internships, we expanded our program to
provide 18 WiNterns with placements at 15 different labs and
clinics. On top of that, our Board of Directors has expanded
and our WiN Team tripled to support the continued growth of
our programming.
First, we welcomed Katherine Vasquez as a part-time program
manager to lend extra hands and brain power to our Summer
Intensive. Katherine was a WiNtern in 2020 and has been
an engaged alumna ever since. Not surprisingly, she was a
natural fit for the organization. Her contributions proved so
valuable that we kept her on staff after the summer program
wrapped up.
At the end of the summer, we also hired Katie Bell-Moore as
our Fund Development Manager. Katie came to us from the Ann
Richards School Foundation, the organization that supports
the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, a partner
of WiN from the very beginning. Katie seamlessly integrated
into the team. She is passionate about supporting women and
WiN is lucky to have her advocating for our mission.
As we prepared for 2022, WiN completed our first Strategic
Plan to help prioritize efforts and resources in alignment
with our mission. This led us to make several changes to our
governing body. We created two permanent board member
positions - one for a WiN Alum and one for a WiN Faculty
Host. We’ve also formed a Program Advisory Council filled
with past and current faculty hosts and mentors. Together,
we believe these moves will provide a strong foundation
for WiN governance, ensuring the voices of our constituents
- both alumni and faculty - are always represented in the
organization’s decision-making.
We’re excited about our accomplishments, how far we’ve
come and the ways we plan to grow in 2023. WiN is committed
to continuous improvement through objective evaluation of
ourselves, our work and our world so we can actively learn
and enhance our impact.
Thank you for your support - none of this would be possible
without our donors, advisors, mentors and friends. We
invite you to continue reading through this report to see the
amazing impact WiN is having on our students and community!

“I don’t think I could have done research
to this extent during the summer without
this program. I just don’t think I could have.
There’s too many things happening, not
enough resources — I’m just so thankful.”

Internship
MARISSA MARQUEZ
THE CONTINUING IMPACT OF THE WiN COMMUNITY
When I was young, my grandma was diagnosed with
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Despite my constant efforts to
reverse the effects of her disease, my grandma soon forgot
who I was. The devastation of being forgotten by someone
I love drove me to pursue a degree in neuroscience at UT
Austin, so that some day I could study and research AD.
Throughout college, I knew I had
to excel in my classes in order to
get into graduate school. However,
as a first-generation college
student, there were things I did
not know I needed for my graduate
school application—in particular,
laboratory research experience.
When I learned of this requirement my Junior year, I was discouraged
by how little time I had to get involved in meaningful research before
graduation. Around this time, I heard about the Women in Neuroscience
(WiN) program, an internship focused on promoting women in the field of
neuroscience. I applied to the program, even though I was sure I would
not get in. I did, and I am forever grateful for it.
The WiN program offered me a paid summer internship in Dr.
Brumback’s lab at UT, which was fantastic since I had recently started
volunteering as a research assistant in the lab. Dr. Brumback’s lab
focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie
neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
They study these mechanisms through optogenetics, electrophysiology,

and behavioral assays in mouse models
of autism. My internship project was to
implement DeepLabCut, a machine learning
program that tracks animal behavior, into the
lab. Along with the other interns, I spent the
summer learning the program and testing it
on mice. This project continued on beyond
the summer and became the basis of my
senior thesis: using DeepLabCut to track
the motor behaviors in mouse models of
Fragile X Syndrome, a neurodevelopmental
condition that can cause Autism, and
compare it to those of wild-type mice. While
this research was not in the field I had
originally envisioned, it was the beginning of
my journey as a scientist.
WiN provided me the opportunity to get more
involved in research and grow as a scientist,
and I had a wonderful time throughout the
internship. The organization has continued
to provide important opportunities to me
as an alumni, by facilitating luncheons with
prominent neuroscientists. One such figure
was Dr. Bess Frost, a leading researcher in
AD research. After our introduction through
WiN, I was able to land a paid research
position in Dr. Frost’s lab, studying the
molecular mechanisms that drive tauopathy
in neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.
In my role as a research assistant in Dr.
Frost’s lab, I’m learning to perform
experiments such as western blotting,
RNA extractions, comet assays, mass
spectrometry, and much more, so that
I can apply them to ongoing studies
in the lab. This position in the lab is
an important stepping stone to the
next part of my journey—pursuing a
PhD and becoming a scientific expert
on Alzheimer’s disease.
While my grandma has forgotten all
memories of our time together, my efforts
as an Alzheimer’s Disease research scientist
are my way of keeping those memories
alive. This was only possible through my
involvement with WiN.

IN DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Our 2022 Summer Intensive marked WiN’s 5th year of providing paid summer
internships for the next generation of leaders pursuing careers in Neuroscience
and Neurology.
Our 18 WiNterns spent their eight weeks conducting research, learning new skills,
observing their mentors and hosts, and hearing from experts in the field.
They spanned 15 different lab and clinical settings throughout UT Neuroscience
and Dell Medical School Neurology departments.
Our 15 faculty mentors and their teams graciously spent their summer guiding our
WiNterns through the ins and outs of research. Areas of focus included epilepsy,
autism, stroke, pediatric neurosurgery, learning & memory, health disparities,
addiction, immunology, COVID-19, and more.

“I wasn’t pushed out of my comfort zone very often. I
was really worried that I would show up and I wouldn’t
understand anything and everyone would hate me and
treat me like a kid who didn’t really have a place in the
lab. After spending 8 weeks in my lab, I can thankfully
say I was very very wrong. From my first day I was
welcomed into the lab and everyone treated me with
kindness and respect and as an equal.”

Women in Neuroscience 2022 Annual Report

  • 2. DEAR WiN COMMUNITY, 2022 was another big year for Women in Neuroscience! In our fifth summer of internships, we expanded our program to provide 18 WiNterns with placements at 15 different labs and clinics. On top of that, our Board of Directors has expanded and our WiN Team tripled to support the continued growth of our programming. First, we welcomed Katherine Vasquez as a part-time program manager to lend extra hands and brain power to our Summer Intensive. Katherine was a WiNtern in 2020 and has been an engaged alumna ever since. Not surprisingly, she was a natural fit for the organization. Her contributions proved so valuable that we kept her on staff after the summer program wrapped up. At the end of the summer, we also hired Katie Bell-Moore as our Fund Development Manager. Katie came to us from the Ann Richards School Foundation, the organization that supports the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, a partner of WiN from the very beginning. Katie seamlessly integrated into the team. She is passionate about supporting women and WiN is lucky to have her advocating for our mission. As we prepared for 2022, WiN completed our first Strategic Plan to help prioritize efforts and resources in alignment with our mission. This led us to make several changes to our governing body. We created two permanent board member positions - one for a WiN Alum and one for a WiN Faculty Host. We’ve also formed a Program Advisory Council filled with past and current faculty hosts and mentors. Together, we believe these moves will provide a strong foundation for WiN governance, ensuring the voices of our constituents - both alumni and faculty - are always represented in the organization’s decision-making. We’re excited about our accomplishments, how far we’ve come and the ways we plan to grow in 2023. WiN is committed to continuous improvement through objective evaluation of ourselves, our work and our world so we can actively learn and enhance our impact. Thank you for your support - none of this would be possible without our donors, advisors, mentors and friends. We invite you to continue reading through this report to see the amazing impact WiN is having on our students and community!

  • 5. More Than a Summer Internship MARISSA MARQUEZ THE CONTINUING IMPACT OF THE WiN COMMUNITY When I was young, my grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Despite my constant efforts to reverse the effects of her disease, my grandma soon forgot who I was. The devastation of being forgotten by someone I love drove me to pursue a degree in neuroscience at UT Austin, so that some day I could study and research AD. Throughout college, I knew I had to excel in my classes in order to get into graduate school. However, as a first-generation college student, there were things I did not know I needed for my graduate school application—in particular, laboratory research experience. When I learned of this requirement my Junior year, I was discouraged by how little time I had to get involved in meaningful research before graduation. Around this time, I heard about the Women in Neuroscience (WiN) program, an internship focused on promoting women in the field of neuroscience. I applied to the program, even though I was sure I would not get in. I did, and I am forever grateful for it. The WiN program offered me a paid summer internship in Dr. Brumback’s lab at UT, which was fantastic since I had recently started volunteering as a research assistant in the lab. Dr. Brumback’s lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). They study these mechanisms through optogenetics, electrophysiology, 2022 Annual Report | 5 WiN | NeuroWomen.org
  • 6. Photos Clockwise from top: Marissa presenting her research, Marissa working in the Frost Lab, Marissa with Drs. Connie Cortes and Bess Frost and behavioral assays in mouse models of autism. My internship project was to implement DeepLabCut, a machine learning program that tracks animal behavior, into the lab. Along with the other interns, I spent the summer learning the program and testing it on mice. This project continued on beyond the summer and became the basis of my senior thesis: using DeepLabCut to track the motor behaviors in mouse models of Fragile X Syndrome, a neurodevelopmental condition that can cause Autism, and compare it to those of wild-type mice. While this research was not in the field I had originally envisioned, it was the beginning of my journey as a scientist. WiN provided me the opportunity to get more involved in research and grow as a scientist, and I had a wonderful time throughout the internship. The organization has continued to provide important opportunities to me as an alumni, by facilitating luncheons with prominent neuroscientists. One such figure was Dr. Bess Frost, a leading researcher in AD research. After our introduction through WiN, I was able to land a paid research position in Dr. Frost’s lab, studying the molecular mechanisms that drive tauopathy in neurodegenerative diseases such as AD. In my role as a research assistant in Dr. Frost’s lab, I’m learning to perform experiments such as western blotting, RNA extractions, comet assays, mass spectrometry, and much more, so that I can apply them to ongoing studies in the lab. This position in the lab is an important stepping stone to the next part of my journey—pursuing a PhD and becoming a scientific expert on Alzheimer’s disease. While my grandma has forgotten all memories of our time together, my efforts as an Alzheimer’s Disease research scientist are my way of keeping those memories alive. This was only possible through my involvement with WiN. 2022 Annual Report | 6 WiN | NeuroWomen.org
  • 7. SUMMER INTENSIVE $56,707 IN DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT Our 2022 Summer Intensive marked WiN’s 5th year of providing paid summer internships for the next generation of leaders pursuing careers in Neuroscience and Neurology. Our 18 WiNterns spent their eight weeks conducting research, learning new skills, observing their mentors and hosts, and hearing from experts in the field. They spanned 15 different lab and clinical settings throughout UT Neuroscience and Dell Medical School Neurology departments. Our 15 faculty mentors and their teams graciously spent their summer guiding our WiNterns through the ins and outs of research. Areas of focus included epilepsy, autism, stroke, pediatric neurosurgery, learning & memory, health disparities, addiction, immunology, COVID-19, and more.

  • 12. “I wasn’t pushed out of my comfort zone very often. I was really worried that I would show up and I wouldn’t understand anything and everyone would hate me and treat me like a kid who didn’t really have a place in the lab. After spending 8 weeks in my lab, I can thankfully say I was very very wrong. From my first day I was welcomed into the lab and everyone treated me with kindness and respect and as an equal.” -AXI Thank You!
