Hey there!
I'm Alie Astrocyte, and I'm Micah.
We are blown away by all the support we've had here at Neuro Transmissions since we started
just a little bit over a year and a half ago.
We started Neuro Transmissions to get neuroscience out there, and apparently people wanted that,
because today, we are celebrating a big milestone for us.
We have over 5,000 subscribers and we couldn't have gotten here without your support.
The honest truth is that over time, having received all of the comments, all of the messages
from all of you out there, that's what really keeps us going.
And so we want to thank you for supporting us over this last year and a half.
Now that we've reached this new milestone, we're sort of asking ourselves - now what?
What does the future hold?
And so, we have a few goals that we'd like to share with you.
We want to continue growing the channel and the community around it, and we want to do
more collaborations with our friends and other creators.
We want to do more videos out in the field - get out of this small room and find some
cool people out and about doing their work.
We also want to attend VidCon, and we want to get subtitles on every single one of our
videos in English, Spanish, and any other languages that people are willing to contribute.
We might even expand the Neuro Transmissions team, bringing in some of our friends to help
us come up with new video ideas and expand the kinds of videos that we're creating.
Yeah, you know, it's just been Alie and I for the last year and a half so it would be
nice to have an extra hand or two.
To celebrate and show our appreciation, we decided to do a contest!
Oh, we should get the stuff out...We're going to be giving away tons of stuff, including
20 stickers, 2 bumper stickers, 2 posters, and a t-shirt.
To enter the contest, all you have to do is leave a comment on this video telling us which
Neuro Transmissions video is your favorite, and why it's your favorite.
You also have the opportunity to get a second entry.
In order to do that, all you have to do is post your favorite video on social media such
as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, or whatever you use, and then send us the proof, which
would be the public link, at alie.astrocyte@gmail.com.
So now for the fine print: there are a few rules for this contest.
First you must be at least 13 years of age or older and you have to live within the United
States - sorry for our international fans.
You also have to be subscribed to Neuro Transmissions at the time of the drawing.
All comments must be entered before Friday, May 12 at 11:59 PM Pacific time.
Once you've submitted your comments, we'll do a YouTube Live stream of the drawing and
the results on Sunday, May 14th, at 12 PM Pacific time.
You know we weren't joking before about how thankful we are for all of your support - for
every one of you for watching our videos, for sticking with us for the last year and
a half.
It's been amazing to watch the channel grow, and the community grow, and we're looking
forward to everything that comes in the future.
We especially appreciate all of the great feedback we've had on our videos, helping
us come up with better content, to better edit our videos, and to come up with new ideas
for videos we should create in the future.
In particular, we want to give a special thanks to our Patreon supporters, who allow us to
do all sorts of cool stuff, like getting new gear, getting to go to cool events, and just
funding the channel in general.
It really makes Neuro Transmissions possible.
It's really amazing that they believe in us enough to give us real money.
So a really big thank you to all of our current Patreon supporters including Noah McCann,
Ilsa Jerome, Sai Vemula, Harris Rothaermel, Memming Park, Linda Schubert, Marcel Ward,
Carrie McKenzie, Ryan Shaver, and Brandon Cisneros.
Thank you you guys - really, thank you.
That's it from us this week, but we can't wait to see your responses down below and
we're so excited for the live stream next weekend.
We're really looking forward to getting to send some of this swag out to you, so get
started writing and let us know which Neuro Transmissions videos are your favorites down
in the comments.
Good luck, everybody!
Until our live transmission next weekend, over and out!
