Women in Learning (WIL) is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit organization that provides a forum in which students and post-doctoral fellows in the broader fields of Learning Theory, Behavior, Memory, and Neuroscience can seek advice, support, and guidance from trailblazing scientists who have already carved their paths.
Join us for our CAN luncheon on May 20th, 2026, from 12–2 PM at 1372 R. Notre Dame O #201, Montréal, QC. Bringing together voices in neuroscience, this luncheon provides an opportunity to network, share experiences, and foster mentorship within the neuroscience community. It is designed to create a supportive environment that encourages professional growth and collaboration. Our guided discussion will facilitate open dialogue and promote knowledge sharing across career stages.
This event is open to all. We encourage anyone who would like to participate in inclusive discussions about building supportive networks, sharing experiences, and navigating professional challenges to attend. Graduate students, postdocs, RAs, and investigators are all welcome regardless of gender identity.
This event has been made possible through the generous support of UBC Brain Circuits Cluster, Plexon, and Addgene.
Team WIL hosted our 15th Anniversary Special Event on Thursday, August 7, 2025, in conjunction with the Pavlovian Society Welcome Reception. We heard from Dr. Natalie Tronson as our Distinguished Guest Speaker on navigating life and her career. Graduate Student Payton Robinson was the recipient of our Outstanding Graduate Women in Learning Award! Thank you to House of Merivale for hosting!
