At PNI, we're committed to sharing science with our local community and beyond, as seen across several of our initiatives below. Explore our diverse outreach programs that connect groundbreaking neuroscience research with everyday life. Initiatives Brain Bee Every year, PNI organizes and hosts the Princeton Regional Brain Bee, which is part of a global neuroscience competition. Laboratory Learning Program PNI faculty host local high school students as part of Princeton's Science Outreach Laboratory Learning Program. Spring into Science PNI is delighted to be an annual supporter of and vernal volunteer for Spring Into Science, which brings 4th - 10th graders and their families to campus for a day of activities, hands-on demonstrations, research talks, and more from Princeton brain scientists, as well as other STEM fields. Government Partnerships PNI actively engages with government officials, funding agencies, and institutional partners to showcase groundbreaking research at Princeton, and advocate for neuroscience funding priorities. These interactions provide policymakers with firsthand exposure to Princeton's innovative technologies and scientific advances while strengthening support for basic research in the brain sciences.
