Science Matters. 🔬
For 80 years, science has been a north star for the U.S. In 1945, Vannevar Bush’s report Science, The Endless Frontier called for bold government investment in research transforming our health, economy, quality of life. Science is not zero-sum—it creates value and better lives.

We’re brainstorming how to support students to do independent work this summer, especially with our open resources. Tell us your thoughts re what is helpful! Some ideas so far - student data challenge, guides collecting our lesson modules (usually meant for educators) with tutorials/videos.
#Neuroskyence students! We're brainstorming ways to support your development over this summer break, esp. given the changes in summer intern programs across our fields. What other opportunities would you like to see?
Some ideas: undergrad-focused webinars, self-paced courses, challenges, etc.
