Getting Started!
About Neuromatch:
Neuromatch is a worldwide non-profit movement with the goal of equitable participation in scientific research. We run several activities to help further our cause.
You may see the name Sciencematch around too - we are in the process of updating our organization name! We'll be sending updates on Slack about how you can be involved in our rebranding process.
About Neuromatch Academy:
Neuromatch Academy (NMA) teaches computational techniques crucial for success in academia and industry. It serves thousands of students each year with hundreds of teaching assistants (TA). Students learn by solving problems in small groups and by running group projects; they learn in many languages in an incredibly supportive environment.
