By connecting with your lawmakers — whether it be virtually or in-person — you can inform their decisions surrounding biomedical research funding and other policies that affect your work.

SfN members please cast your vote for SfN leadership by Friday, June 10 »

Mark your calendars for SfN's 47th annual meeting, November 11-15 in Washington, DC.

Thank you to all the active participants in SfN’s NeuroAdvocate Challenge. Your advocacy efforts throughout this historical year have not gone unrecognized, and we appreciate your dedication to the field.

August is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress and advocate for science funding. With district offices, you can easily request a meeting at a location near your home or work and advocate for science research without coming to Washington, DC.

Join your fellow NeuroAdvocates and tell Congress to support neuroscience priorities and invest in advancements for the field in FY 2022. Send your Representative and Senators a message via SfN’s Advocacy Action Center.

Recent advances in microscopy, genetics, physiology, and data processing have expanded the scope and accelerated the pace of discovery in visual neuroscience. However, the pace of discovery and the ever increasing number of published articles can present a serious issue for both trainees and senior scientists alike: with each passing year the fog of progress thickens, making it easy to lose sight of important earlier advances. As part of this special issue of the Journal of Neuroscience commemorating the 50th anniversary of SfN, here, we provide a variation on Stephen Kuffler's Oldies but Goodies classic reading list, with the hope that by looking back at highlights in the field of visual neuroscience we can better define remaining gaps in our knowledge and thus guide future work. We also hope that this article can serve as a resource that will aid those new to the field to find their bearings.

Raise your organization's visibility and showcase your commitment to the neuroscience field by supporting lectures, awards, workshops, courses, and other events at Neuroscience 2020! Serving as a program supporter increases your exposure to the annual meeting’s international audience of nearly 30,000 attendees. All Program Supporters are publicly recognized in the annual meeting Program and on convention center and exhibit floor signage. Depending on the supported activity, recognition may also include verbal acknowledgement and a press release.
