The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) has received $128,000 from the estate of James L. Roberts, PhD. With the funds, SfN Council voted to create a new long-term endowed fund, The James L. Roberts Fund, and will use the income from its investments to create and perpetually fund James L. Roberts Trainee Professional Development Awards (TPDAs) beginning at Neuroscience 2024.

By accepting the invitation to participate in a Society for Neuroscience (SfN) digital or in-person event, you are agreeing to follow the SfN speaker guidelines and policies outlined or noted below:

SfN welcomes 10 early-career scientists representing a variety of career levels and geographic locations to the Early Career Policy Ambassador (ECPA) program. Ambassadors gain the necessary skills to advocate for science and to encourage those in their personal networks to join the conversation. The programs starts with their participation in SfN’s annual Hill Day. Each ECPA will also have the opportunity to complete two advocacy projects at their home institutions and in their local communities. SfN looks forward to working with the 2024 class of ambassadors and helping them become great advocates for neuroscience research. View the 2024 ECPA class.

Maintaining long-term memories requires environmental light, according to research in fruit flies recently published in JNeurosci.

Scientific progress depends upon an adequate and reliable stream of public funding. Members of Congress need to be as aware of this reality as scientists are. Capitol Hill Day, our hallmark advocacy event of the year, brings scientists and congressional representatives together to discuss advances in the field of neuroscience, share the economic and public health benefits of investment in biomedical research, and make the case for strong national investment in scientific research through NIH and NSF.
