BrainFacts.org, the source for trusted and authoritative information about the progress and promise of brain research, is a public information initiative of The Kavli Foundation, the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, and Society for Neuroscience (SfN).
Wingate officially begins his tenure as editor-in-chief of BrainFacts.org on January 1, 2019. He will serve as editor-in-chief through December 2021. Wingate previously served on SfN's Public Education and Communication Committee.

BrainFacts.org offers a diverse collection of content including animations, articles, and videos. After a relaunch last year, the new site also features an interactive, easy-to-navigate 3D human brain model that allows users to isolate and explore regions of the brain.
