Seminars
The N&B Program has merged the new faculty-sponsored seminar series with
the Neubeh 510 seminar series. The faculty seminar series highlights the
neuroscience research being done on the UW campus and affiliated sites.
Research from two N&B faculty labs is presented each month. This gives
faculty an opportunity to showcase their current work. The 510 seminar
series speakers are chosen by our graduate students. These speakers are
invited from all over the U.S. to present topics from many disciplines
related to neuroscience. All neuroscience faculty, students, postdocs and
research staff are invited to attend.
