Apply for the 2022 BIOME Institute
Keynotes, discussion groups, and workshops will aim to support faculty in building a sense of community and belonging within their classrooms and groups, with the goal of creating networks and partnerships founded on mutual trust, respect, and open collaboration between students and educational leaders.
The Institute begins with a virtual slate of programming over the summer (July 18 - 29, 2022) and continues into the fall with small working groups. It’s a unique opportunity to connect deeply with a community of educators and to develop and implement practical, innovative, and impactful teaching resources and strategies. You will leave the institute with a community, ideas, materials, and, truly, a whole lot of inspiration!

BRAIN Initiative Challenge for HS Students:
Ethical Considerations of BRAIN Technologies
What would happen if humans could altogether stop the effects of aging on the brain? What if we could precisely map, record, and simulate the neural activity of memories? What if we could enhance brain function and intelligence?
While these questions seem to lie in the realm of science fiction, we may one day have to address them—and their impacts on society. The line between science fiction and reality is constantly being redrawn as research discoveries drive the advancement and state of modern technology. The 2nd Annual BRAIN Initiative Challenge Essay and Video Contest is a federal challenge for high school students across the country that seeks to explore these topics and other ethical implications of novel technologies being developed and applied to understand the brain and treat brain disorders.
