'NEUROSCIENCE: Exploring the Brain', a book review by Brenda Walker

We are excited to announce the launch of a brand new BNA Scholars Programme, created in consultation with BNA members and others interested in improving representation, diversity and equity in neuroscience, to support students from currently under-represented ethnic groups in neuroscience and build a supportive community through networking opportunities, bursaries and mentorship.
At the core of the BNA Scholars Programme is a mentorship scheme. This emerged as a top priority and key way to make a difference when discussing ways to improve representation in neuroscience e.g. at our open webinar 'Empowering and including you in UK neuroscience' and talking to individuals about what they needed for their careers.
Additional ways we will support students on the BNA Scholars Programme include:
This first year of the programme will be a pilot year, during which we will assess its progress and subsequently review whether and how to make changes in years ahead.
Make a lasting impact on someone's future career and the future of neuroscience!
Anyone can apply to be a mentor: we are welcoming mentor applications from all ethnicities and all career stages across neuroscience.

Mentor applications close in late March.
