Welcome to the Western Women in Neuroscience website! We’re a group of women and men in neuroscience at the University of Western Ontario, interested in discussing issues related to being a woman in science. We hold monthly meetings and social events, and have outreach initiatives in the community as well.
We are planning a series of ~6 journal clubs over the summer, focusing on the chapters of the book "An Inclusive Academy: Achieving Diversity and Excellence" https://mitpress.mit.edu/
The first meeting (on chapter 1) is planned for Thursday, May 23rd, at 3:30, in the WIRB lunchroom (4190).
The second (on chapter 2) is scheduled for Thursday, June 13th, at 3:30, in the WIRB lunchroom (4190).
Future meetings will be arranged over the rest of the summer, and we will condense later chapters.
Vist our journal club page for more information!
