C. Other Developments
- Graduate Certificate in Social, Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience at UPenn: The Center for Neuroscience & Society at the University of Pennsylvania has launched a four-course Certificate program for graduate students from a number of fields, including law, on Social, Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (SCAN). The Certificate “offers a rigorous foundation in the neuroscience of human behavior for professional and graduate students in non-science fields who are currently matriculating at the University of Pennsylvania.”
