This will be the first opportunity outside of a conference to hear about what we learned in this project.

This project was funded by the NSF (# 2236366). Like so much science, it would not have been possible without NSF support!

Obviously faves include brain-map.org and www.allenneuraldynamics.org, but I also would plug for:
🧠 openneuro.org (MRI, EEG, and related tech)
💻 dandiarchive.org (ephys and often behavior)
📚 www.austinlim.com/open-neurosc... (open neuroscience textbook)
Just a sampling - there are many more!

We explore the brain’s circuits and activity. Discovering how information processed by networks of neurons generates our thoughts, emotions, and actions.

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.
