Annual themes

As part of its strategic planning, the British Neuroscience Association (BNA) is introducing annual themes to guide its activities and programme of work in years ahead.

The current year (2019) is a 'soft launch' of the BNA annual themes, on the topic of Neuromyths. As an example of how an annual theme guides the BNA's activities, this topic was featured at the BNA's Christmas Symposium, used as the basis of a social media campaign during Brain Awareness Week, and is continuing via the Credibility in Neuroscience programme.

What would you like to see featured in future years?
