Testimonials "This internship is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to get involved in the international neuroethics community or learn more about effective science communication. This internship has not only broadened my understanding of neuroethics but has also equipped me with skills vital for communication within an organization. I have learned about a wide variety of topics in neuroethics from the ethical implications of emerging neurotechnologies to the social and cultural dimensions of neuroscience research. Additionally, the support and mentorship I received throughout the internship were instrumental in my improvement as a communicator and writer." – Cindy Xin  “This internship offers an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself within the international neuroethics community by building relationships and communicating with leading scholars in the field. The role is also an outstanding way to acquire a breadth of knowledge about the wide range of disciplinary topics that encompass neuroethics, and to enhance science communication skills for different audiences.
