The Spark Society appreciates your support. Thank you all for your donations. In addition to donations, I encourage those who study animal or human cognition to become a member of the Spark Society. If you support diverse voices and building inclusive spaces in Cognitive Psy/Sci, you belong!

Unfortunately, the NSF grant that supports our work has been terminated. This is a setback, but our mission has not changed. We will continue to work hard on making cognitive science a more inclusive field. Stay tuned for upcoming events.

It's great to see the SPARK Society growing on this platform. Many are interested in supporting the principles upheld by SPARK but are not members. Consider membership. Membership is for ALL SCIENTISTS who are allied in supporting scholars from diverse backgrounds in Cognitive Psychology.
