Grey Matters Journal
Grey Matters is a neuroscience outreach organization founded by students at the University of Washington on the core belief that science education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of educational background. Each quarter, we publish a free, high-quality neuroscience journal that is written, edited, illustrated, and designed entirely by undergraduate students. Grey Matters also hosts An Evening with Neuroscience, an annual event dedicated to fostering an exciting and inclusive space for neuroscience education for the general public, as well as a journal club run by and for undergraduates to improve scientific literacy and communication.
