What is HSMBB?
Formed in the fall of 2002, HSMBB is an undergraduate organization that fosters exchange across disciplines: among students who are formally involved in MBB tracks (neurobiology, psychology, philosophy, computer science, history of science, human evolutionary biology, and linguistics) or just interested in MBB-related topics and courses. HSMBB provides a variety of social, academic, and intellectual opportunities including weekly informal seminars with awesome professors, biweekly teas with food, profs, and other students interested in MBB, and comprehensive symposiums that focus on broad questions within MBB. top
What is MBB, and how is it different from HSMBB?
The Mind/Brain/Behavior (MBB) Interfaculty Initiative is an umbrella program at Harvard University that oversees the MBB tracks within the Harvard College undergraduate concentrations and also includes graduate and faculty research initiatives. Find out more at http://mbb.harvard.edu. The Harvard Society for Mind, Brain, and Behavior (HSMBB) is the undergraduate affiliate of the MBB program and interested in MBB-related topics. top
Who can come to meetings and events?
All undergraduates interested in MBB-related disciplines, regardless of concentration and class year or experience with MBB subjects, are encouraged to attend. Newcomers are welcome to attend their first meeting anytime. While this is primarily an undergraduate organization, other members of the Harvard community are absolutely welcome, particularly at special events. top
How much of a commitment is HSMBB?
HSMBB can be as little or as much of a commitment as you want it to be; you can come to as many or as few meetings and events as they are interested in. top
How can I get more involved in HSMBB?
The best way to get involved is to come to as many teas and seminars as you can, get engaged in the discussions, and meet the board. We also always love to get input and suggestions to improve our regular events and develop some new ones. If you want to get involved in the day-to-day workings of HSMBB and help plan events, applications for the HSMBB board are held annually. top
What is the Harvard Brain?
The Brain is HSMBB’s journal of the mind and brain sciences. Published annually, it includes articles by student authors on their own research, editorials by both students and professors on hot-button issues, and highlights of current MBB-related research. You do not have to be a member of HSMBB to write for the Brain or vice versa. top
