Thanks so much for sharing this with us all, Richard. Perhaps a conversation can start at FUN about reviving ERIN as a FUN resource.

Take care FUN friends,

Subject: [FUN_Mail] Compilation of listings of online lecture and lab materials

Dear colleagues,

I've been impressed by the extensive listings of online lecture and lab materials that our FUN colleagues have posted, and I've taken the liberty of assembling those listings in this message. I had hoped that SfN's ERIN database would also provide links to high-quality, reviewed materials, but SfN has not maintained ERIN in the way that the other founding editors and I would have preferred, and its former URL (erin.sfn.org<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ferin.sfn.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjuramirez%40davidson.edu%7C3e5d5fef165e43ecb69308d7cb88b298%7C35d8763cd2b14213b629f5df0af9e3c3%7C1%7C1%7C637201660287043888&sdata=SnhiYlPyGOD1ow8LKh7EYMtjs97uHIjKwk6NvKL2Llc%3D&reserved=0>) has disappeared. I asked SfN to explain what has happened to the 600+ ERIN listings, and I begin with SfN's reply. Following that are the lists from FUN members of online lectures, and then online labs.

With best wishes as we all switch to new ways of teaching,

Online neuroscience lectures

SfN staff who administer Neuronline  highlighted the relevant resources from ERIN. There is no one single place on Neuronline where these resources are available, but rather we incorporated them with other material. In addition, SfN recommends highlighting the research summaries that are done on selected Journal of Neuroscience articles as those are written for an undergraduate audience as well (https://neuronline.sfn.org/collection/sfn-journals-research-article-summaries<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fneuronline.sfn.org%2Fcollection%2Fsfn-journals-research-article-summaries&data=02%7C01%7Cjuramirez%40davidson.edu%7C3e5d5fef165e43ecb69308d7cb88b298%7C35d8763cd2b14213b629f5df0af9e3c3%7C1%7C1%7C637201660287053881&sdata=RmstEDea%2BneROEkp0g0FsMFNv4egOHzuKID7VqbKspI%3D&reserved=0>).  - Michael Heintz, SfN
