Know Science. No Stigma.
|
 |
 |
Science illiteracy is pervasive in society, and all disciplines are affected. However, ignorance of research progress is especially harmful in mental illness, where brain disorders are often misconstrued as character defects or even "evil." The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation is tackling this void with a new campaign called "Know Science. No Stigma." Their argument is that "scientific discoveries |
showing the biological underpinnings of mental illness […] debunk myths suggesting brain and behavior disorders are not bona fide illnesses." If you agree, you can share the Foundation message with their logo and daily images.

News From (Mostly) Sunny Florida

 What brain structure does
the scientist see in the
Marriott's elaborate pools? |
The International Congress on Schizophrenia Research (ICOSR) was held 21-25 April 2013 in Orlando, Florida, and over the next weeks we will bring you session summaries from that meeting, as well as from the Prodromal and Cognition satellite meetings. We are, as always, grateful for the assistance of conference directors Carol Tamminga and Chuck Schulz,
|
as well as meeting staff Cristan Tamminga and Dorothy Denton. We also thank Laura Rowland and Scott Sponheim for connecting us with volunteer reporters from among the Young Investigator travel awardees. You will already find the earliest reports in our Conference News corner. Image courtesy of Michele Solis

MQ Fellows Award for Mental Health Research
|
|
 |
MQ: Transforming Mental Health, a U.K.-based initiative, was created in January 2013 to identify and fund research on key issues in global mental health. With £20 million in startup funds from the Wellcome Trust, the charity is ready to begin supporting early-career researchers with its MQ Fellows Award, a grant of £75,000 |
($110,000) per year for up to three years. Researchers from any country are eligible, but should have recently obtained or be nearing independent investigator status. Applicants will need to submit a research plan describing a basic, clinical, or social science project that pertains to the cause, treatment, or prevention of mental illness. Candidates must also select an external advisor in a separate mental health-related field. Up to four awards will be given annually. This year’s applications are due 10 June 2013. |

New Look for Updated Drugs in Trials
|
|
 Hugo Geerts |
Introducing a long overdue update of the Drugs in Trials compendium. A new, and hopefully useful, feature is that the many drugs tested for schizophrenia are now organized into different tables, according to the neurotransmitter systems on which they act. A big shout out to Hugo Geerts for making this compendium possible by sharing the information he painstakingly collects on drugs in development for schizophrenia. Thanks, Hugo!
|
As always, this is considered a work in progress. Please contact us with any new compounds or updates on those already in the tables. |
