A key tenet of Ladson-Billings' (1995; 2014) theory of culturally relevant pedagogy is the development of students' sociopolitical consciousness, whereby students feel empowered and encouraged to evaluate and solve real-world interdisciplinary problems. Here, we propose that open science datasets could serve as a valuable tool for neuroscience educators to foster their students' sociopolitical consciousness. Using the open data available through the Seattle Alzheimer's Disease Brain Cell Atlas (SEA-AD) as a case study, this article will explore how open science can be leveraged as a tool to encourage socioscientific thinking amongst neuroscience students. We overview a collection of lessons created by the Allen Institute's Education & Engagement team that provides a scaffolded exploration of an open science resource through a socioscientific lens. We supplement our discussion of the lessons with feedback from students who completed the lessons during a day-long workshop hosted at the Allen Institute in Seattle, WA. We conclude by reflecting on the future role this type of interdisciplinary, open science-based approach to curricula could have across neuroscience education more broadly.","PeriodicalId":74004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience","volume":"22 2","pages":"A90-A98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11396179/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142302737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the past three academic years, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience (FUN) has hosted FFFs as monthly professional development sessions. These sessions offer a mechanism to address current issues in higher education with emphasis on topics relevant to neuroscience educators. Broadly, topics covered in FFF sessions fall under three areas: a faculty focus that addresses issues of wellness and professional opportunity; a diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging focus that addresses how to advocate for justice through education; and a pedagogical focus that address classroom strategies and issues that affect student learning. We share here our experiences and lessons learned regarding selecting topics, identifying facilitators, navigating timing across a semester, and engaging participants with a goal of providing a framework for successful professional development so that other institutional and departmental leaders can contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of their colleagues.","PeriodicalId":74004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience","volume":"22 2","pages":"A120-A125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11396187/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142302738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developing and teaching such courses, however, can be intimidating for educators due to the subject's complexities and nuances, the increasingly politicized nature of the subject material, and the difficult conversations that the material invites. In this article we discuss how we approached the development of two undergraduate courses on sex, gender and the brain. In describing our thought process we discuss the institutional contexts for our courses and the rationale for the selected course structures, learning objectives, and content. We also describe how we fostered inclusive learning environments - particularly within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic - and implemented course activities and diverse assessments aligned to the course learning objectives. We hope that readers of this article can apply our insights into developing courses on sex/gender in neuroscience at their home institutions.","PeriodicalId":74004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience","volume":"22 2","pages":"A104-A115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11396180/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142302740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years the number, demographics, and previous experiences of PhD applicants in neuroscience has changed. This has necessitated both a reconsideration of admissions processes to ensure equity for an increasingly diverse applicant pool as well as renewed efforts to expand access to the training and research experiences required for admission to graduate programs. Here, we describe both facets of graduate school admissions by demystifying the process and providing faculty with tools and resources to help undergraduate students successfully navigate it. We discuss admissions requirements and processes at two graduate institutions, highlighting holistic approaches to evaluating students, the ever-increasing research experience expectations, and the decreasing reliance on the GRE. With a particular focus on improving equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging, we discuss resources for applying to graduate school that are available for students from underrepresented populations, including summer institutes and fellowship programs and intentional relationships with minority serving institutions (MSIs) to foster bi-directional engagement between undergraduate programs at MSIs and graduate institutions. With diverse perspectives as faculty involved in undergraduate education, graduate programs, and post-baccalaureate training programs, we provide recommendations and resources for how to help all trainees - especially those from populations underrepresented in the STEM workforce - succeed in the current graduate education admissions landscape.","PeriodicalId":74004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience","volume":"22 2","pages":"A137-A159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11396178/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142302739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the formal curriculum provides structured learning objectives and content, the hidden curriculum shapes students' socialization, sense of belonging, and access to opportunities within academic settings. For diverse students, hidden curriculum often reinforces existing power dynamics and inequities, creating additional barriers to their success. In many cases, the norms and expectations embedded within the hidden curriculum reflect dominant cultural norms, leaving students from marginalized backgrounds feeling alienated or intentionally excluded. Mentors and academic institutions play crucial roles in helping diverse students navigate the hidden curriculum of educational institutions by providing mentorship and resources to address the challenges of hidden curricula. In this paper, we introduce the importance of \"NOW\": 1) Nomenclature - What is Hidden Curriculum, 2) Opportunity - Opportunities to Address Hidden Curriculum in Higher Education, and 3) Willingness - Fostering an action plan for success in higher education. This paper will introduce a socioecological model for mentoring to address hidden curriculum at the individual, interpersonal, and institutional levels. At the individual and interpersonal level, we will discuss actions students and their mentors can take to develop their mentoring relationships. At the institutional level, we will identify opportunities to support diverse students and their mentors.","PeriodicalId":74004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience","volume":"22 2","pages":"E16-E21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11396184/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142302749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Core concepts have existed for many years in some life science disciplines, including biology, microbiology, and physiology, yet have only recently been published for neuroscience through a multi-year community-derived project which identified the following neuroscience core concepts: Communication Modalities, Emergence, Evolution, Gene-Environment Interactions, Information Processing, Nervous System Functions, Plasticity, and Structure-Function Relationship. The current phase of the core concepts work involves two arms: utilizing and \"unpacking.\" Work on utilization of core concepts focuses on strategies for utilizing the core concepts in courses, curricula, and assessment, and in diverse institutional contexts. The process of unpacking involves deconstructing a core concept into its key underlying components. Prior to the 2023 FUN Workshop, we consulted faculty members with relevant experience to aid in the preliminary unpacking of four core concepts (Evolution, Gene-Environment Interactions, Plasticity, and Structure-Function Relationship). The preliminary drafts of the unpacked core concepts were shared at the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience (FUN) Workshop and Neuroscience Teaching Conference (NTC) for community feedback and guidance. This editorial describes community feedback and guidance that we received from the conferences to inform future steps.","PeriodicalId":74004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience","volume":"22 2","pages":"E22-E27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11396181/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142302750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
