This Wednesday, the Neuroscience Axis is hosting a special conference to raise awareness of war and its effects on mental health of veterans, civilians and refugees. Amazing SBU neuroscientists and medical doctors who specialize in mental health research will share their perspective on the physical and biological risks of long lasting effects of war-related events and explain the latest findings from their studies. Join us this Wednesday, April 3rd 7-9:30pm in SAC Ballroom B to network with renowned SBU researchers, discover new research opportunities and learn more about Neuroscience of War!

Hi everyone! As we approach the middle of this spring semester, research laboratories are opening up. As seniors graduate, this is the perfect time for you to apply to labs and get your foot in the door. In order to ease this process, Neuroscience Axis will host Research Workshop this Monday, March 25th 7-8pm in Library N3063. We will start off the event by going over some of the key components of applying to labs. Then, we will have a one-one-one session with everyone to answer everyone’s questions. If you need your resume checked, help finding labs of interest or even check over your email to a professor, bring them over and we will help you with the process. No question is settled until it is settled right. So bring over your questions and Neuroscience Axis will help you. We are looking forward to meeting you all on Monday!

Are you interested in pursuing a career in medicine? Do you want to learn more about neurology and other related fields?
