Happy Friday all! @Psaffie and @Vdardov’s conversation about the Society for Neuroscience 2023 Annual Meeting made me curious about other professional societies in the broader neuroscience space. As I’m getting to know the DCoP, PD and the neuroscience field, it’s helpful to get a sense for which organizations are prominent in the field.

What professional societies and/or training societies are you a member of or do you keep up to date on?

Thanks @paularp @psaffie @danieltds!

We’ve been thinking that as we ramp up recruitment for the DCoP we will want to leverage MJFF and DCI networks alike.

@psaffie, I know you’re a member of GP2s Trainee Representative Network. Are there other networks you’re a part of or aware of where we might want to recruit?

I know @Jgottesman has mentioned some MJFF-sponsored programs that we might draw from, such as the the Safra Training fellows, the 23andMe postdoc program, or other data-analysis RFA awardees.

@DCoP_Innovators, whether you’re officially affiliated or not, what other societies/institutions/conferences/networks should we keep in mind ­when broadening advertising and recruitment for the DCoP?

Hi! I think that it depends in what collaborators are you thinling in. For example, in the place where I work in Chile, we do a lot of training for neurology residents and fellows, that could benefit from the content we are producing. On the other hand, when aiming at clinicians, MDS is super important. I will go to MDS Pan American section in february, and I could do some recruitment there. I could help on MJFF stand if there is one, or in whatever is needed.

I would also aim for the Mexican Academy of Neurology (https://www.neurologia.org.mx/), the International Society for Computational Biology (https://www.iscb.org/), and the American Society of Human Genetics https://www.ashg.org/
