Earlier this year, Congress passed final appropriations for FY 2024, which included deep funding cuts (approximately 40%) to the Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative. SfN and partners call for ongoing and future efforts to protect neuroscience research funding, including the BRAIN Initiative. Join fellow NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to support at least $740 million in funding for the BRAIN Initiative for FY 2025. Send your representative and senators a message and personalize it by including why robust federal funding for the BRAIN Initiative is critical to your research and necessary to advance the understanding of the brain.

Reflecting on a Successful Year for the SfN Advocacy Community As we begin a new year, we want to highlight the various SfN advocacy programming and the great work SfN advocates were able to accomplish in 2022. SfN hosted its second annual virtual, multi-day Hill Day where 65 participants held 110 meetings representing 27 states and Canada and our 2022 ECPA class participated in SfN’s second annual Congressional Days, hosting 34 meetings.

Community-based learning (CBL) allows students to apply course material to the real world, connect with communities, and explore career/vocational paths. These projects help develop neuroscientists who understand and have the skills to share neuroscience beyond the lab and medicine. This workshop will showcase diverse CBL projects from undergraduate neuroscience courses. Following the panel presentation, attendees will be provided with workflow prompts to begin building a CBL for their own course.

An understanding of how the brain functions and endows human beings with the capacity to know, to feel, and to value requires an interdisciplinary effort. The Neuroscience Program at Davidson College provides students with diverse state-of-the-art courses and research opportunities. Neuroscience students take a comprehensive mix of courses in biology, psychology, chemistry, mathematics, and philosophy. Davidson provides a welcoming and collaborative environment to all students interested in joining the quest to reveal the workings of the nervous system. Faculty engage students in the journey of discovery from the molecular underpinnings of nervous system function to the cognitive and affective outcomes of neural activity. Students have opportunities to become involved in research on brain plasticity, biological basis of drug abuse, neural development, and the molecular mechanisms underlying axonal regeneration. The Neuroscience Program models how conventional boundaries separating disciplines appearing to ...

Since Newton, the scientific literature has expanded exponentially, with an estimated growth rate of ∼5% per year since 1950 (Bornmann et al., 2021). This pace of growth is daunting. It means that half of all scientific papers were published in the last 15 years and that any scientist older than 48 has been alive for the publication of over 90% of the entire scientific literature. Of perhaps some comfort, the consistency of exponential growth in science means that every generation of scientist has looked back in awe (and despair?) at a burgeoning literature: > Science has always been modern; it has always been exploding into the population, always on the brink of expansive revolution. Scientists have always felt themselves to be awash in a sea of scientific literature …. (De Solla Price, 1963, p. 15) If there is a corollary to the (so far) steady growth of science, it is steady improvement. Since Bacon’s original call to weed …
