As part of CBRS’s outreach activities, Dr. Jennie Z. Young spoke at the CERVO Brain Research Centre in Quebec City as part of their annual end-of-year conference. Students, trainees, research associates, early career researchers and senior scientists shared the culmination of a year’s developments in neuroscience, though talks, posters, and networking opportunities.
Dr. Young spoke on the national research strategy for brain and mental health and the need for targeted federal policies and investments in a Canadian Brain Research Initiative. She underscored the importance of a coordinated approach to brain research and health, highlighting the essential need for talent and infrastructure support.
A key messsage to the audience asserted their pivotal role as advocates in driving forward progress within the field of neuroscience, and the power of their collective voice to shape policy and drive positive change.
