“The UCLA neuroscience program and UCLA Undergraduate Research Center had a tremendous impact on my early career development as a scientist. Along with learning from directly from the exceptional faculty, through these funding sources I was able to work for several years in the Istvan Mody laboratory and build foundational research skills. The financial support provided by UCLA enabled me to pursue graduate education in neuroscience and continue to my current role in neuroscience drug discovery. These funding cuts will have an impact on the similar path for neuroscience research trainees. Please consider supporting UCLA neuroscience students at this time. Reach out Tama Hasson or Gina R. Poe for ways to provide support.” – Matt Kelley
