B. Neuroscience and Law Program at Michigan State University
The Neuroscience and Law Program at Michigan State University is excited to announce the introduction of online micro-credentials! These courses provide relevant and accessible training to students and working professionals in the field of criminal justice - including law enforcement, criminal investigation, forensics, social work, and both lawyers and judges in the courtroom. Neurolaw micro-credentials are presented in an online asynchronous format: learning material is available on demand to accommodate the busy schedules of full-time students and working professionals that are interested in developing their skills and increasing their knowledge. Whether you’re interested in just a single course or an entire collection, micro-credentials allow participants to sign up for as few or as many courses as they like. Upon completion of a collection of courses, you will be issued a micro-credential certificate by the MSU Neuroscience Program. For more information, please contact Michael Koval at kovalmi2@msu.edu or visit https://neuroscience.natsci.msu.edu/academics/microcredentials/

C. Staffing Transition – MacArthur Research Network
We are pleased to announce that Matthew Zumwalt will be stepping into the role of Program Coordinator for the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Law and Neuroscience as Quenna Stewart transitions into a new position. We sincerely thank Quenna for her many contributions and wish her continued success in this next chapter.
