The purpose of the J. B. Johnston Club for Evolutionary Neuroscience is to provide a forum for the exchange of scientific information in the field of comparative and evolutionary neurobiology.
Mission Statement:
The J.B. Johnston Club (“the Club”) was founded to provide a forum for all scientists working in evolutionary neuroscience and comparative neurobiology. Given this programmatic directive, the Club is by its nature inclusive of every expression that evolution has brought forth. As evolutionary scientists, we recognize that diversity enriches all aspects of life. The Club therefore sees it also as one of its missions to promote and sustain racial, ethnic, and gender equality, and equal opportunities for all its current and future members. The Club also wants to extend this mission further to the larger scientific and global community and advocate for respect, nondiscrimination, and unbiased opportunities for all. The Club will develop and maintain active programs to ascertain and sustain these goals by promoting the inclusion of scientists from underrepresented communities in Neuroscience.
Membership in the J. B. Johnston Club is open to any individual interested in comparative and evolutionary neurobiological research. Please see our Club Membership page for more information on the benefits of becoming a dues-paying member of the J. B. Johnston Club.
JBJC meets annually on the two days before the opening day of the meetings of the Society for Neuroscience.
The first day of the JBJC meetings comprises the Karger Workshop in Evolutionary Neuroscience, sponsored by S. Karger AG. The topic and speakers for this one-day symposium are chosen each year from proposals submitted by JBJC members. The Proceedings of the Workshop are published as a special issue of Brain, Behavior and Evolution, which is the J. B. Johnston Club's official journal, published by S. Karger AG.
The second day, members give presentations of their work. These presentations focus on ideas, rather than data, and provocative discussion is encouraged. The Abstracts of these presentations are published in an issue of Brain, Behavior, and Evolution before the annual meeting.
