In early 2015, five Mexican fellow scientists, everybody with scholarship postgraduate studies in England, University College London, they realized the lack of disclosure Neuroscience in Spanish, noting that although the population and interest in scientific knowledge exceeds 80 % according to a survey by the CONACYT (National Council of Science and Technology) there were no spaces in Spanish specializing in the dissemination of neuroscience.
What is Neuroscience?
Cesar Alvarez Gonzalez: Is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the nervous system and its disorders.
NeuroMexico team:
• Citlali Helenes Gonzalez (editor). His research is focused on regenerative medicine through the use of stem cells.
• Jorge Ivan Castillo Quan (editor and co-founder). Studied genes associated with diseases of aging.
• Andrea Soto Padilla (editor and co-founder). Studies how the brain perceives the passage of time and uses it to make decisions.
• Lucia Magis Weinberg (co-founder and executive editor). Studying brain development in adolescents in neuroimaging.
• Cesar Alvarez Gonzalez (editorial and founding director). Specialist in regenerative medicine.
What is NeuroMéxico?
Magis Lucia Weinberg: It is an independent web space science communication of neuroscience for a heterogeneous public, and born of curiosity.
What is the purpose of your proposal?
With the website we try to give a different approach to disclosure is made in Mexico; most sites is general science. So I think it's time to start the specialization of disclosure, not only for the contribution they can give but by all as reduced options for continuing a career in academic research level.
Tuesday January 5th was carried dig the 1st Session of the organization Research UNAM AANS (American Association of Neurological Surgeons) at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery. With the co-founder of the project as a speaker, shared topics such as introduction to neuroscience, I talk about his PhD project "neural basis of behavior in adolescents," and an invitation to all young people to strive for great goals, to define the Clinical value of work and scientific research, as well as their own interests in every field, especially in health science.
