Postgraduate Cardiff Neuroscience Society
Supported by the Neuroscience and Mental Health Innovation Institute, the Postgraduate Cardiff Neuroscience Society (PCNS) is a neuroscience society that holds regular cafés and social events specifically for postgraduate students and post-doctorates who have an interest in neuroscience.
The popular neuroscience cafés, which include pizza, wine and nibbles, allow neuroscientists from a broad range of backgrounds and postgraduates from other disciplines to come together to hear about and debate contemporary and sometimes controversial aspects of neuroscience.
“The PCNS provides a good informal setting to engage with like-minded people and provide a platform to discover new interesting areas of research that I might not have come across otherwise”
They host a variety of events, including science cafés, film screenings and social events, allowing neuroscientists to meet in an informal setting and have fun.
