Scientific talent is global. Access to the world’s scientific stage is not.
Neuroscience in Chile, and across Latin America, does not lack talent or ideas, but the systems that make science visible—prestigious journals, conferences and networks—increasingly price its researchers out.

Future remains uncertain for U.S. federal funding of behavioral, cognitive science
The National Science Foundation did not include any solicitations for its social, behavioral and economic sciences directorate in its latest round of funding opportunities, nor replace any outgoing program officers—which poses an existential threat for the program, says nonprofit executive Wendy Naus.

O talento científico é global. O acesso ao cenário científico mundial, não.
A neurociência no Chile e em toda a América Latina não enfrenta falta de talento nem de ideias, mas os sistemas que dão visibilidade à ciência—periódicos de prestígio, conferências e redes—estão cada vez mais fora do alcance financeiro dos pesquisadores.

El talento científico es global. El acceso al escenario científico mundial, no.
La neurociencia en Chile y a través de Latinoamérica no carece de talento ni ideas, pero los sistemas que hacen la ciencia visible —revistas, conferencias y redes prestigiosas— dejan cada vez más a sus investigadores fuera debido a los costos.
