A space for young neuroscientists, members and fans of PNS.
Young PNS is a group of students, young scientists and disseminators of knowledge. We help spread information about what is happening in the world of neuroscience, here and now.
Thanks to close collaboration with PNS members, students and young scientists can see what is means to “be a scientist” and what scientific research looks like “behind the scenes”. Young PNS is involved in projects such as: the UJOT TV science program, interviews conducted for Neurotalks (with students from University of Warsaw) as well as our society’s social media. Young neuroscientists have the opportunity to share their stories of early adventures on their scientific career path, often leading to work in scientific institutes abroad. You can read our first interviews below.
Young PNS was involved in organising and running the 16th international PNS conference in Toruń.
We encourage all those fascinated with the mysteries of the nervous system to contact us. We especially welcome collaboration with science clubs and societies from other universities.
Currently, Young PNS mainly consists of Jagiellonian University Students affiliated with the Neuronus Science Club.
Neuronus Science Club spreads neuroscience knowledge and collaborates with scientists from all over Poland. The members spread their time between studying and activity within the club, creating the NeuronuSound podcast (available on Spotify), organising scientific conferences, participating in Polish events such as Biologists’ Night, Brain Week and BrainBee. Workshops, interviews, thematic panels, open lectures and science projects, in which students of different departments and universities participate, are only a fraction of what goes on in the full-of-live city of Krakow. With globalization we are unstoppable – all in order to share our passion for science.
