CONNECT Initiative
Welcome!
I am thrilled to welcome you to the CONNECT Initiative (Collaborative Outreach Network for Neuroscience Education and Community Training), proudly supported by UC Irvine’s Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory. Our mission is to foster collaboration and enhance resources in the field of Science Outreach and Education, creating impactful connections among educators, researchers, and the community.
This initiative was born from a desire to create community for those who engage in science outreach and education and came to life as a partnership with CNLM Outreach and Education Fellow Dr. Morgan Coburn and a dedicated committee— Dr. Erin Purvis, Dr. Lizzy Hubbard and Jacinda Taggett. Together, we aim to create a vibrant network where knowledge and resources flow freely, empowering all participants to inspire the next generation of neuroscientists.
I invite you to join us on October 30 for the launch of this inaugural series. I will be joined by a special guest, Dr. Caroline Montojo, President and CEO of the Dana Foundation. The session will include an engaging networking opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals.
Be sure to sign up for the CONNECT mailing list to receive important announcements! Thank you for being a part of this journey.
Warmly,
