Info: The Biomedical Scholars Association, BSA, is an organization that unites graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and faculty who represent minority groups within the Johns Hopkins University Medical Institute community. The purposes of this association are 1) to provide a support system for every scholar who considers him or herself a minority within the Hopkins community; 2) to promote the academic and professional success of said scholars; 3) to enhance minority scholar recruitment to and retention within the Hopkins community; 4) to provide a network for career development and advancement within the scientific community and; 5) to serve our immediate community through volunteerism.

Info: HBN's mission is to create a stronger biotech community which addresses the diverse interests and career aspirations of its members. We at HBN focus on critical issues in biotechnology and seek to bridge the gap between the three main stakeholders in the biotech field: industry, academia, and government. HBN serves Johns Hopkins University trainees across all campuses and disciplines, who are interested in pursuing careers in the field of biotechnology, provide networking opportunities, skills-based professional development workshops, alumni engagement, and mentoring for aspiring entrepreneurs at many levels of training. HBN connects all JHU campuses and works closely with many University and regional partners to grow our biotechnology ecosystem. Current programs include serving as the student group partner for Nucleate Baltimore, an alumni mentorship program, and management of the Hopkins Biotech Podcast.

Info: The Johns Hopkins Science Policy and Diplomacy Group (JHSPDG) was founded in 2016, with the mission to advocate for evidence-based policies that advance science and safeguard public health. Our participants include graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, healthcare professionals, and faculty. Our missions include developing science policy and diplomacy coverage and commentary that promotes civic engagement and policy literacy in early career scientists; creating training, toolkits, and science communications resources for our research advocates; coordinating advocacy events around the STEM legislative agenda at both the local and federal level in the US as well as internationally; engaging with science policy, diplomacy, advocacy, and communication professionals via an invited speaker series and providing career development opportunities for trainees in science policy, diplomacy and advocacy.

Info: The goal of this group is to provide an interactive network for anyone interested in the translational aspects of neuroengineering across the schools, departments, and divisions of Johns Hopkins University. Throughout the year, we organize monthly talks with invited speakers about cutting-edge research. We also hold panels on neuroethics and translational work/industry, have social events with students and faculty, and give students opportunities to present their work for the JHU Neuroengineering community throughout the year. To know about our events, follow us on social media and join the listserv (posted on the website linked above).

Info: Our mission is to support and acknowledge all students and trainees of Hopkins who are also navigating motherhood. This group was designed for any woman who considers herself a mother/caretaker/legal guardian of a dependent/s or is planning to become a mother at any time of training. There is no limit to what a mother is! If you are interested in finding a community of people who understand your daily balance of motherhood, or if you would like to create a village of women who can help you prepare for motherhood, this is the group for you! We welcome all levels of training (undergraduate, post-bac, masters, MD, Ph.D. and postdocs)!

Info: The mission of Project Bridge is to both foster public interest in scientific research and sharpen our volunteers' communication skills as scientists. To meet these goals, we plan two types of events: scientific outreach events and scientific communication workshops. We hold demonstration booths at local farmers markets, science cafes, and larger events such as the Baltimore Brain Fest. To promote our growth as scientists, we elevate our communication skills through workshops. To become involved please subscribe to our list-serv.
