Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m excited to announce that the Center for Excellence in Neuroscience is launching a new public outreach initiative \u2013 Science Cafes. We\u2019re partnering with institutions in Biddeford (Banded; Elements) and Portland (TBD) to host monthly science events. Real life scientists from UNE will give a short public presentation followed by a Q&A. We are looking for volunteers to help us launch this initiative. Are you willing to participate? If so, please let Mike Burman (mburman@une.edu<\/a>) and Tara Riley (triley3@une.edu<\/a>) know. Pass this along to other scientist colleagues you know that might be interested!<\/p>\n\n\n\n FAQs (although no one has actually asked a question yet):<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s the format for the talks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s up to you. Different types of science are amendable to different types of presentations. We\u2019ll have audio\/visual systems available for you use if you\u2019d like. We\u2019re thinking very short, engaging, high-level, presentations might work best. Sometimes it might even work best to present in groups of related topics. Interactivity is a plus. The real action will probably be in the Q&A. The Maine Science Festival\u2019s 5-min genius talks<\/a> are probably a good place to start, but maybe you have something else in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m nervous about presenting to the public, can I have help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes! Mike Burman is happy to work with you on your presentation to ensure that it is well suited for the public. He has been trained by the Society for Neuroscience (and UNE) to do this. You can also probably walk down the hall and consult other colleagues too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do I have to be a neuroscientist to participate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n No! While this is hosted by the CEN and we\u2019ll likely try to prioritize brain-related science at first, this is open to anyone at UNE who is doing compelling science. We\u2019re defining science broadly and collaborations are encouraged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When are the events occurring?<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a lot of enthusiasm from our partners and the scheduling seems flexible. We\u2019ll work with you on the date and time. We could roll this out any time, so we\u2019re especially looking for volunteers for summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike<\/p>\n\n\n\n —<\/p>\n\n\n\n Michael A Burman Ph.D. Director, School of Social and Behavioral Sciences<\/p>\n\n\n\n University of New England Pronouns: He\/Him\/His<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Colleagues, I\u2019m excited to announce that the Center for Excellence in Neuroscience is launching a …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-9485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faculty-development"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/49"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9485"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9485\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9486,"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9485\/revisions\/9486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9485"},{"taxonomy":"post_folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_folder?post=9485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
