Our Story
The Foundation for Psychocultural Research-Hampshire College Program in Culture, Brain, and Development (FPR-HC CBD) is an innovative interdisciplinary program that reaches across Hampshire’s five schools to promote learning and research. CBD offers multi-disciplinary courses, public lectures, and other programs for students and faculty that question and examine issues surrounding the study of culture, mind/brain, and human development.

a Person I know has been working on this project. It's a series of info that students may need in times of covid. Should cover topics like: 'how to apply to unemployment' 'getting/ securing housing/ rent' 'online learning resources' to 'mental health suppport' etc. Its created alongside folx who live in different cities that can make hyper-local recommendations. shaning in case it's helpful!
Current neuroscience/cog-sci students: three professors at my university (including my own PI) are looking to hire PhD students in neuroscience (they're all awesome mentors and I've worked with all of them). Also, Bloomington, IN has a small contingent of former Hampsters here already, we'd be happy to welcome more). The PhDs at IU are typically fully funded + healthcare benefits (cost of living out here is quite low too, which is a bonus).
Dr. Aina Puce is a social neuroscientist and expert in M/EEG, as well as network neuroscience.

Dr. Rick Betzel is a network neuroscientist interested in complex systems and dynamic networks.

My own lab is recruiting as well. Dr. Olaf Sporns is significant figure in Network Neuroscience and the world of complex systems science. He's also a really nice guy.

If you're interested, reach out to me (either on Facebook, or at my work email tvarley at iu dot edu) - I'd be happy to answer questions or make introductions.
For any CBD students who are 1) interested in pursuing a science PhD and 2) interested in highly interdisciplinary research, check this out.
This is the PhD program I'm currently in my second year of, and it's great. As a former Hampster, I think it's an amazing fit (the benefits are pretty great too - if you don't want to be a starving grad student, this is the program for you).
Hey all - So excited to post that I am working on a new project. With thanks to satellite imagery from DigitalGlobeFDN (www.digitalglobefoundation.org) she is working to locate a boat in the Hudson Bay area which was last seen by a pilot about 60 years ago. Because of the potential location of the boat, estimated to be about 500 feet above mean sea level, it is possible that it dates back 3000 BP. Without satellite imagery it would not be possible to effectively search for the boat location today because of the harsh and inaccessible terrain in the region
