Hello all,

My name is Chinmayi Balusu and I'm a Neuroscience & Society Fellow at the Dana
Foundation <https://dana.org/>. Recently, we launched *two funding
opportunities for students/trainees interested in neuroscience and society*,
and we would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word. Please see
