Through our activities, we like to:

• Broaden neuroscience knowledge by hosting scientific lectures, poster sessions, and workshops.

• Foster networking for students, academics, researchers, and other professionals to exchange information, research, and neuroscience career opportunities.

• Provide opportunities for neuroscientists to educate and inform the public about the importance of neuroscience through outreach activities. Chapters host outreach events such as Brain Awareness Week, Brain Bees, and more.
