About Us     
We are an organization of students working together to further our understanding and involvement in the field of neuroscience.
     The WWU Neuroscience Club (Neuroscience Research Driven Students, N.e.R.D.S.) provides a diverse group of individuals the opportunity to build connections to other Western students with similar interests and goals. 
       As a club, we meet to discuss a wide range of topics, including the study of neuroscience as a student and beyond, ways to be involved at school, and ways to have fun while eating pizza and talking about brains.
  

Outreach Program

 

The WWU Neuroscience club outreach program is designed to expose both students and community members from age 5-95, to the amazing world of neuroscience.

 

Past outreach projects have taken us to the YMCA to talk about brains and eat "brain cupcakes" with youngsters.  We have also run a two day program at Sehome High School, teaching about the visual system to 9th and 10th graders. 

 

If this is something you as a WWU student, would like to be a part of, all you have to do is ask!  Just contact the outreach coordinator Kindsey North. 


If you would like to find out more about what the outreach program could present to your group, please contact us and read more about our outreach program.



 

Activities

 

We have already accomplished so much, and we have even bigger plans for the future.

We are excited to explore research opportunities for students as well as organize activities and experiences that will help students in the preparation for jobs, applying to grad programs, as well as their future education here at Western.

 

We would like to know what YOU want from YOUR neuroscience club! Please tell us what you're interested in, what you want to do.

Regularly Scheduled Activities

Club meetings are held once a month to discuss club topics and functioning. Starting fall quarter, we will be hosting a journal review session once a month. This student run “journal club” will provide group analysis to new scientific journal papers within the field of neuroscience.
