Throughout my time at UNE, the Behavior Core has provided invaluable support to a variety of different projects I’ve worked on — from training behavioral assays and animal handling techniques to coordinating use of shared spaces. More specifically, the Behavior Core plays an essential role in the in-house breeding of the research animals used in my lab and training our students on techniques for assessing sensitivity to different stimuli following experimental treatments.” — Megan Tomasch, GSBSE Ph.D. Candidate

Earn a Badge

The UNE Badging program is a non-credit bearing vehicle that digitally validates and documents knowledge, skill sets, qualifications, and competencies. Open to all learners, any participant who completes the learning activities and demonstrates achievement of the learning outcomes/competencies for a badge would be able to claim it. Sharing badges with graduate schools, potential employers, etc., is a great way to demonstrate some of the skills and competencies you have acquired that are not captured in an academic transcript.

For interested students, the core is now part of the UNE Badging program. Students will gain a knowledge-base and skillsets relevant to the core specialty.
