Student Societies
The BNA is delighted to collaborate with student-led neuroscience societies across the UK and Ireland. One way we do this is by promoting them on this webpage (click on the banners or links to be redirected to their respective websites). For societies with BNA members, we also provide guidance on finding and contacting speakers for neuroscience events or any other support they require.
If you would like your society to be represented on this page, contact us via office@bna.org.uk.

Some of the things you can look forward to this year are:
????The introduction of our Journal Club & Coding Skills Clubs
????Awareness campaigns
????Regular socials like bowling and sports
????Continuing academic talks as part of our monthly neurological Health Hotspots
????Trips to Research Centres like CUBRIC
