      I'm only a little over twenty years behind you 😊and I'm finding myself in the same situation as you are. I don't have a complete plan yet, but here's what I've done so far:
      1. did a Google search for top colleges for neuroscience
      2. decided to look in depth at the neuroscience curricula from Harvard, MIT, and Johns Hopkins University. According to usnews ranking, these colleges are in the top five US colleges for neuroscience. The other two are Stanford and US San Francisco.
      3. started a list of courses I'm interested in. This is a work in progress. I currently only have about twenty courses on the list.
      4. looked up the syllabi for those courses to see the recommended textbooks, recommended readings, and the kinds of assignments students needed to complete. I wasn't able to find all syllabi, but I looked up similar courses on edu sites (sites that end with the _edu_ extension) and was able to find textbooks and other useful information that way.
      5. made a 4-year plan for myself and am currently studying Biology, Introduction to Psychology, Introduction to Neuroscience, and Calculus I. Well, I'm actually studying more than that, but that's because Neuroscience is only a part of a slightly bigger goal. 😊
      I haven't yet found other people who are teaching themselves neuroscience, but that's because I haven't looked yet. I did find some channels I enjoy watching, such as Tina Huang, Andrew Dotson, and Dimitri Bianco. None of them are learning neuroscience but I like their mindsets and their work ethics. They have a traditional college education but they go way above and beyond that and teach themselves new things.
      I hope this gives you some ideas for you own neuroscience learning plan. Best wishes to you. Your comment made me smile. I like the can-do attitude. ❤

      If it's not too much trouble, maybe you can post updates on how your learning is going. It will most likely inspire others to learn on their own also or, at the very least, it will give others one of those feel good moments we usually experience when we read interesting stories of challenge and success. 😊

    I really love neuroscience. I am deeply fascinated by the fundamental questions. The only thing witholding me from choosing neuroscience is that I'm afraid i won't get tenure. Is there any possibility outside of academia where i can do basic research? And what is the chance of getting tenure as a neuroscientist?

    • @BritishNeuroscienceAssociation
      @BritishNeuroscienceAssociation  3 года назад +2

      Hi, it depends on the course content of your undergraduate psychology degree (whether it is more social psychology, biological psychology, or anything in between) and also the type of neuroscience Masters you'd like to pursue (e.g. cognitive neuroscience, molecular neuro, systems neuro, brain imaging, etc etc). In summary, when it comes to Masters degrees or any other postgraduate study, it's best to ask the specific course provider what you need, as they vary hugely from one course to another. Good luck!

Check out information about postgraduate neuroscience courses (including MSc) at www.bna.org.uk/careers/courses/#postgraduate-opportunities. The best place to do it depends on what you're interested in, where you want to go, who you'd like to study with and many other factors.
