When science teachers return to the CNT’s Research Experience for Teachers program, everyone benefits

The CNT is supporting middle and high school teachers who return to the center year-after-year, benefiting not only those teachers’ students and peer educators, but the CNT's education programs and researchers as well.

The importance of being seen, heard and understood for neurotechnology end-users

Nationally-known disability rights leader, John Kemp, spoke at the CNT's Practitioner and End-user Roundtable, emphasizing the importance of keeping both wants and needs of technology end-users firmly in mind throughout the device design and development process.
