keep sharing. keep speaking up. keep fighting for science—that is stronger, inclusive, and striving for betterment.
Unfortunately, the NSF grant that supports our work has been terminated. This is a setback, but our mission has not changed. We will continue to work hard on making cognitive science a more inclusive field. Stay tuned for upcoming events.
