Will diversity, gender, and underrepresented minority issues remain a priority for SfN?
Yes, these remain high priority areas for the SfN Council. SfN’s diversity strategy remains unchanged and articulates the Society’s priorities in this area. The revised professional development srategy clearly states SfN’s continued commitment to addressing issues faced by women and underrepresented minorities in neuroscience. Both strategies reflect SfN’s recognition that the professional development concerns and needs of its members can vary by age group, gender, race/ethnicity, career setting, and geographic location. Under the new Professional Development Committee, programs and services for women and underrepresented minorities will become stronger and expand. Members will continue to find information about the Society’s programs in these areas on the SfN Web site.
