Title: ENIGMA-U: A Free Online Resource for Increasing Representation from HEGs in Neuroimaging Research.
Session: Oral Session
Speaker: Emily Dennis
Abstract: As with many scientific fields, neuroscience and neuroimaging have disproportionately few individuals from historically excluded groups (HEGs). Although there are many factors underlying this discrepancy across all levels of academia, one significant barrier to entry into the academic neurosciences is access to mentorship. Neuroimaging is a multidisciplinary field requiring knowledge from a wide range of areas, making it difficult for students to get started as they depend on a mentor to teach them the foundational information and/or guide them on what skills to acquire. Providing curated access to information may help bridge this gap and provide students with a springboard for further opportunities for development and learning.
