The Summer
Program in Neuroscience, Ethics & Survival (SPINES) provides a rich
experience in neuroscience. The core of the program is an intensive
one-month
experience, in which students are exposed to neuroscience laboratory
techniques, contemporary neuroscience research, ethics and survival
skills
(including grant writing, teaching, public speaking, and others).
Lecture, lab,
workshop and discussion formats are used. In a second optional month,
students
may apply to work full time in a research laboratory at the MBL,
especially
those funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. The program is
targeted to groups underrepresented in neuroscience to increase the
probability
of professional success, although applications from any qualified
students interested
in the SPINES curriculum are welcome.
This is a
full fellowship program; all costs of attending the course, including
travel,
housing, and meals at MBL are covered by the National Institute of
Mental
Health and MBL.
