Find a recent news article (from the last <12 months) reporting on a recent discovery in some aspect of neuroscience. An article from any reputable news source (e.g., nota social media post) is acceptable. Choose an article covering a topic you personally find intriguing. Then find and read the scientific publication on which it is based and do your best to understand the main points, but there is no need to delve deeply to understand all the methodology. Compare the summary of the source publication in the news article to your own analysis of the publication itself. Was the news summary accurate or inaccurate? Did it leave out key details? Did the news article effectively provide context for the significance of the scientific publication? Or was something missing (perhaps by failing to summarize a related publication that is highly relevant)? Did the news summary raise interesting contextual aspects that were (or could not) be including in the scientific publication, and if so, what were they? For example, did the news article discuss the societal or medical implications of the study that could not be included in a scientific publication?
