Communications Intern

"This internship is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to get involved in the international neuroethics community or learn more about effective science communication. This internship has not only broadened my understanding of neuroethics but has also equipped me with skills vital for communication within an organization. I have learned about a wide variety of topics in neuroethics from the ethical implications of emerging neurotechnologies to the social and cultural dimensions of neuroscience research. Additionally, the support and mentorship I received throughout the internship were instrumental in my improvement as a communicator and writer." – Cindy Xin

"For those interested in the neurosciences or philosophy, this internship provides an encompassing experience of the field neuroethics while being able to contribute remotely and around a student's often complex schedule. Such an experience is normally reserved for graduate students thus can provide both undergraduate students or post-bacs valuable insights about the field."
