Synapse & State invites participation from students, educators, researchers, policy professionals, and community leaders who are committed to expanding access, equity, and youth voice in neuroscience and public science policy.
Applications will open in Spring 2026 for high school and undergraduate students in the NYC area. No prior research experience is required.
Organizations interested in collaborating through in-kind support, promotional engagement, venue access, or speaker referrals may contact the organizing team directly.
We welcome proposals from individuals working at the intersection of neuroscience, ethics, and policy. Selected speakers will contribute to panels, roundtables, or workshops based on availability and thematic fit.
Students may also apply to support pre-event planning or post-event media production, including surveys, video editing, and report writing.
