Cardiff Neuroscience Society aims to create a Neuroscience-aligned community at Cardiff University and beyond, to further interests in Neuroscience and offer time for students to enrich their time here and make the most of it. We aim to provide exposure to real-life research and scientific skills as another way we hope to get students to enjoy learning. Aside from this, we realise that it is important to not forget a good balance of socials and stress busters to unwind from your studies. In the spirit of pioneering new initiatives to drive enthusiasm in Neuroscience, we host Journal and Coding Clubs as well as postgraduate events as well as a fortnightly Brainwaves Bulletin.
We are happy to announce that we are now publishing short articles as part of the Cardiff NeuroSoc Journal in 2024! They will also feature in our fortnightly Brainwaves Bulletin.
Fortnightly, our bulletin will now contain short form articles discussing a broad range of neuroscience subjects. Although every article edition will revolve around a title or a central theme, neuroscience is complicated, and the answers aren’t really straight forward. Diving into papers on many subjects can lead to 57 billion rabbit holes, 5 different other theories and 32 thousand ambiguously contextualized words - like “mechanisms” ( We are not joking, there’s an entire paper on nature discussing the broad use of this world in academia [1] ). Think of these articles as spaces where we introduce interesting findings, debates, or theories in neuroscience.
We are also open to feedback and further suggestions! If you have a title about psychology, clinical neuroscience or another related area in mind or know of an interesting thing you would like us to discuss, feel free to email us here or contact us on our social media! Join Cardiff Neuroscience Society on our journey to cultivate a Neuroscience-aligned community and further interests in Neuroscience.
We are thrilled to announce the start of this exciting venture and the first articles below!
