Brainfacts

Cool new website Brainfacts.org that is a compilation of all things neuroscience… basic info, research news, educator information, etc. I’m all for more centralized ways of getting information so I welcome the development of new things.

They really should add a for students tab with a centralized hub of info regarding neuroscience graduate programs and direct comparisons between them (self-serving idea!)

Researching grad schools is really exciting, but slightly daunting all at the same time. So many great schools doing amazing work… how do you go about narrowing down your choices? I feel that unlike undergrad, I have to understand and weigh the resources of the school, the structure of the program, the specific professors I’d would interested in working with, etc. etc. all together before applying and then filter that with my qualifications to try to find programs that are a good fit. AH!
