BRAINS Symposium

External Advisory Board

The External Advisory Board is comprised of eight senior scientists and faculty members in neuroscience-related fields across the nation. Each board member has a strong history of supporting and advocating for diversity within the neurosciences. Like the Internal Advisory Board, members of the External Advisory Board also provide guidance to the BRAINS program in areas such as participant recruitment and symposium topics and panelists.
