Does your chapter sponsor a local journal club? If so, please share contact information and we will put you in contact with other Nu Rho Psi Chapters that sponsor their own Local Neuroscience Journal Club. Perhaps a number of chapter clubs can create a virtual meeting space where multiple journal clubs can co-host or collaborate. Share examples of such coordinated endeavors which we can highlight hear, on social media platforms and feature in our annual newsletter.
