Gil Vantomme

At Stanford, I founded and organized the Neurofeedback Seminar Series—an initiative led by postdocs to foster inclusion, collaboration, and belonging across labs at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. By creating a platform where trainees share ongoing research in an accessible, supportive environment, the series bridges disciplines and career stages while strengthening our community. I am deeply motivated by the belief that scientific excellence thrives in spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and connected. Receiving the Postdoc Champion Award affirmed my commitment to building equitable, vibrant communities that value diverse voices, perspectives, and the whole person behind the science.
