DEI Journeys in Computational NeuroscienceThe NIH T32 Computational Neural Engineering Training Program (CNTP) is organizing a DEI panel. The goal of the panel is to discuss different scientific journeys in computational neuroscience and in what respects we as a field can improve DEI. Based on the panelists’ experiences, we encourage participants to start thinking about specific actions they can undertake to increase the accessibility and feeling of belonging for a more diverse group of people.

The panel consists of graduate students Elaida Dimwamwa and Alejandro Lopez, assistant director of postdoctoral services Dr. Karena Nguyen, and associate professor Dr. Samuel Sober.
