By integrating neuroscience learning with ethical discussions, the Dana Program in Neuroscience and Society encourages middle and high school students, even those with little knowledge of the science, to have a stake in neuroscience. Read about Loyola University Chicago's three-phased approach to cultivating STEM identities among these Chicago-based students. #neurosociety #stemlearning #stemeducation #DanaxLoyola

Neuro&CompSci with Dr. Konrad Kording 🧠💻 We’re back this September! Tune in to our Neuro& webinar this month featuring the fascinating field of computational neuroscience with Dr. Konrad Kording! Dr. Kording is a distinguished computational neuroscientist and professor at UPenn. His research on data science has been published in leading journals such as Nature and Nature Neuroscience. In addition, Dr. Kording is the co-founder of the computational science education company Neuromatch and the open science platform Community for Rigor. In his talk on Sunday, September 29th from 12-1 PM EST, Dr. Kording will share his extensive career journey and insights into succeeding in science through community. Participants will engage in an interactive discussion and have the chance to ask questions for Dr. Kording. IYNA chapter members will also receive points for participation by including their chapter IDs in their Zoom usernames. Individuals who display consistent engagement may even receive bonus points for their chapter! Learn more about Neuro& on the IYNA website. Learn more about the research Dr. Kording conducts through our link in bio! ✨🧠 RSVP using the link in bio or by scanning the QR code!

For those attending the Science Summit at the 79th United Nations General Assembly, we hope you’ll join us September 20 for “Applying Neuroscience in the Courtroom.” Dana Foundation Chairman Steve Hyman will deliver opening remarks to introduce a compelling panel discussion on approaches to using neuroscience within legal frameworks. Key themes will include current applications of neuroscientific evidence in criminal sentencing and brain injury litigation, prospective uses of brain evidence, complexities in moving from group to individual inference, international disparities in the evidentiary standards for neuroscience, and the evolving socio-legal landscape of neurolaw. #neurolaw #neurosociety #neuroscience #UNGA79 #sciencesummit

UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics Civic Science Fellow Kuranda Morgan’s work focuses on democratizing how psychedelic research and engagement processes are designed and applied. By bringing in perspectives from community members, psychedelic practitioners, and researchers, she aims to ensure that the reach and benefits of psychedelic exploration reach diverse populations, particularly those that have been historically marginalized. Read about her approach. #neurosociety #psychedelics #civicscience
