Inspiring the Broader Community
The Consortium Centers and Institutes are engaged in a number of public outreach and education efforts aimed at sharing knowledge and discoveries in brain and mind research. Many of these programs are focused on advancing understanding about the brain in health and disease. In addition- and in keeping with our statement on diversity, equity and inclusion and the UC Davis Principles of Community- an important and growing focus has been on enhancing access and equity for underrepresented groups and understanding the barriers and opportunities to this end. Through these outreach programs we aim to not only build bridges and understanding between the public and research communities, but we also we hope to empower, inspire and equip the next generation of scientists.
