Hear from our Scholars
My mentor is so warm and encouraging – she helps me feel confident in my goals and I can relate to her as a woman with caring responsibilities.
The BNA Dementia Masterclass was my first ‘conference-like’ experience in neuroscience – it opened my eyes to new possibilities.
Visiting UCB gave me valuable insight into real-world science and how patient-centred approaches work in practice.
