We count among our members about 300 students, staff, and faculty members at the University of Washington and other local institutions in the Puget Sound area. Our main activities are to co-sponsor an annual meeting of neuroscientists in the Pacific Northwest and to help enhance teaching of neuroscience to local school children. We aim to sponsor travel fellowships to support participation of students in national or international meetings. We are part of the Society for Neuroscience based in Washington DC. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
