Neuroscience is, at its very core, an interdisciplinary subject. It requires a relatively deep understanding of biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology. Beyond that, when it is crossed with computer programming, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, or animal studies, it gains an even broader scope of possibilities. We hope to expose students to the many facets of this broad, advancing field.
We believe that neuroscience is fascinating, and the field as a whole contains a wide array of opportunities that serve to reach advancements in applied science and health. Many students enter the University of Michigan with a limited understanding of careers available to them, and we hope to broaden their horizons by exposing them to medicine, public health, research, and engineering.
The mission of this organization is to benefit students with an interest in neuroscience in their current roles as undergraduate students and in their future professions in a wide variety of fields by providing networking opportunities, seminars, and exposure to the depth of neuroscience.
UPCOMING EVENTS!
Our Mentorship Program’s kickoff event will be on October 17th! Come meet the mentors and other students to discuss and receive guidance on how to navigate the coming years: which courses to take, how to prepare for grad school, and what other activities to get involved with!
Also note that joining the Mentorship Program means that you are automatically considered an active member of NSA :)
RSVP for Pizza with Professors in our Linktree! This is a great opportunity to meet and chat with Psych/Neuro faculty about their research and experiences!
