This resource is for anyone in the Neuromatch ecosystem; Ambassadors, MEXA participants, Neuromatch Academy, Board and staff members, Impact Scholars Alumni, and more.
The goal: make it easy for you to share your projects, experiences, and achievements with the world, whether in a publication, conference talk, social media post, or casual conversation.
Here you’ll find guidance, templates, and tips to make sharing simple, consistent, and impactful!
When sharing work connected to Neuromatch (publications, presentations, posters, social posts, or projects), we encourage you to include a Neuromatch affiliation. This recognizes the community, mentorship, and infrastructure that supported your work.
Use "Neuromatch, Inc." as the organization name. If a journal, preprint server, conference system, or ORCID profile asks for an institution identifier, use our ROR ID: https://ror.org/014dbdq60. This links your work to Neuromatch in research databases and citation records.
You are welcome to include a Neuromatch affiliation when sharing work related to your volunteer or alumni role.
Acknowledgment
Use an acknowledgment section to name the program or role connected to your work, such as the Scholars Program you took part in or your role as a Teaching Assistant or volunteer. This helps others recognize the programs behind the work.
For work that goes beyond Neuromatch projects, either state clearly that you are sharing your personal views and not speaking on behalf of Neuromatch, or leave out the affiliation. If you're unsure, contact us at nma@neuromatch.io.
Open-science and publishing
Neuromatch is committed to open and equitable access to scientific knowledge. We encourage you to share your work and experiences in any way that feels meaningful; whether that’s writing a blog post, contributing to your University newspaper, or preparing a social media thread.
If you want to publish your work related to Neuromatch more formally in an academic journal, please see the Publication and Presentation Policy – Neuromatch Scholars Programs It has a list of suggested journals, guidance on acknowledgments, and information about publication fee waivers or discounts.
All staff and volunteers get a @neuromatch.io email address. We encourage you to use it for any Academy-related communications, submissions, or sharing of your work. This ensures your messages are recognized as part of the community and can help you keep communications organized.
Add a branded signature
When using your Neuromatch email, we invite you to add a branded signature in Gmail to give your emails a more polished, professional look. You can personalize it to reflect your role in the community. For example:
Neuromatch Ambassador, Communications and Outreach Department
Impact Scholars Program Volunteer, 2025-2026, Neuromatch Academy
Deep Learning 2024 Content Creator, Neuromatch Academy.
If you’re giving a talk, lecture, or presentation about Neuromatch or Neuromatch Academy, you can use our branded PowerPoint presentation template. It’s designed to provide a polished, professional starting point with consistent branding, while remaining flexible enough to adapt to different audiences and use cases (e.g. info sessions, conferences, reports).
The template works best in the desktop version of PowerPoint
Some layouts may not function correctly in Google Slides
You’ll find multiple layout options; use the pages that work best for your content!
We have a set of branded Zoom backgrounds you're welcome to use for calls, presentations, or events where you're representing Neuromatch or Neuromatch Academy. These backgrounds are optional; a blurred background can feel just as professional and a bit more personal, so use whatever works best for you.
If you do want to use one, a few things to keep in mind:
For backgrounds that include text or logos, make sure to turn off the mirror image setting in Zoom (go to Settings, Background & Effects, uncheck "Mirror my video") so text appears correctly to others.
Results can vary quite a bit depending on your lighting, hair, and clothing. It's worth doing a quick test before an important call!
Choose a background that suits the context. Some are more subtle, others more eye-catching, and we have a variety of colors that match our three pillars (📙see our brand guidelines!).
If you'd like something different, a custom layout, or a version personalised for your region or use case, feel free to get in touch; contact details are at the bottom of this page.
Promotional posters
Want to help spread the word about Neuromatch Academy? We’ve created ready-to-print posters in multiple formats so you can share them in your community, on campus, or at local events as handouts. Options include low-ink versions (easy for at-home printing) and full-colour versions (great for display or handouts).
By using and sharing these posters, you’ll also qualify to be recognized as a Neuromatch Advocate, a way to celebrate and acknowledge your efforts in helping our community grow.
Academic conference poster templates
You can share your Neuromatch experience or project at conferences or events using our poster templates. These templates are designed with research-backed best practices to improve clarity, accessibility, and visibility for your work. Instructions on how to use are included in the file. Use .SVG files to customize in another program.
