Background: The incidence of delirium is high in ICU as 20~40%, and it is a risk factor to increase the duration of a hospital stay, morbidity, and mortality. However delirium tends to have been overlooked compared to other medical and surgical conditio...

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will honor eight early-career researchers whose work is transforming our understanding of the neural dynamics of touch sensation, spatial navigation, memory circuits, and more. The awards will be presented during Neuroscience 2023, SfN's annual meeting.

Thank you for attending Neuroscience 2022.

Thank you for attending #SfN23

As you move through an environment, the positions of surrounding objects relative to your body constantly change. Updating these locations is of major importance whenever objects go out of view, or when, like pilots and firefighters, people operate in s...

We look forward to welcoming attendees to the in-person experience in Chicago November 13-16 for SfN’s 50th annual meeting. Due to COVID-19 there are uncertainties regarding travel. Please consult the travel resources listed below in order to help plan your trip. Consistent with national and international public health guidance, SfN strongly recommends all of those planning to attend Neuroscience 2021 to be fully vaccinated if possible, subject to the advice of their personal physician. SfN expects all in-person attendees of Neuroscience 2021 to assess and implement for themselves all local, national, and international safety protocols to ensure the most productive and healthiest in-person meeting.

The integrity of the scientific mission is a collective responsibility, and the Society for Neuroscience plays an integral part in ensuring the public’s trust in the scientific enterprise. SfN takes seriously the role of leading the field in its commitment to professional and ethical conduct, and in light of a number of recent high-profile scientific misconduct cases, the importance of this commitment is more vital than ever to ensuring the public’s ongoing understanding of and trust in the scientific enterprise.

Approximately 25,000 neuroscience researchers and clinicians will convene in Washington, D.C., November 11–15 for the first Society for Neuroscience annual meeting to be held in the nation’s capital since 2017.

Here, we describe the development, structure, and effectiveness of an outreach program, DrosoPHILA, that leverages the tools of our fly neurodevelopmental research program at the University of Pennsylvania to reinforce the biology curriculum in local public schools. DrosoPHILA was developed and is sustained by a continued collaboration between members of the Bashaw lab, experienced outreach educators, and teachers in the School District of Philadelphia. Since the program’s inception, we have collaborated with 18 teachers and over 2400 students. Student outcome data indicates significant positive attitude shifts around science identity and grade-appropriate knowledge gains.

Significance statement Outreach programming creates connections between scientists and their communities while expanding students’ perception of what science entails and who practices it. As such, outreach programming can act as one part of a multi-pronged approach to diversify the scientific workforce. To build sustainable, effectiv...
