The first Brain Hub meeting was a warm and welcoming experience! Even though my major isn’t in psychology or neuroscience, I’ve always been interested in learning about our brains, and I know this will be beneficial to my field of study as well. Also, it was wonderful to see a diverse group of people from various backgrounds, and the staff were incredibly friendly.🥹 I am excited about the future events and research opportunities they will offer. I’m glad I decided to join Brain Hub. 🧠

I thought it was great! I will definitely be coming again. This was a great way to discuss with a group of people who care as much about the brain as I do! I feel like this is the start of a great community on campus.

The first meeting was so intriguing because of the multidisciplinary approach to the club, and as someone with interests in cognitive science, art and design, and neuroscience, I am so excited to learn more about how to explore all those topics at UCSD. It seems like a super supportive and innovative club!
