‘Making Connections’ lectures this month open to everyone

A series of free public lectures on the nervous system, learning disabilities and mental health issues will be given in July by UW faculty members and other experts. It accompanies the Summer Institute for science educators on “The Neurobiology of Learning.”

The free daytime lecture series is organized by the “Making Connections” program sponsored by the UW School of Nursing. The theme is “Celebrating the Decade of the Brain.”

Unless noted, all public lectures will be held in Hogness Auditorium at the Health Sciences Center. No advance registration is necessary. For information, contact Trez Buckland at (206) 616-9447.

Individual lectures are listed in the Health Sciences section of the calendar under “Making Connections.”

The Making Connections program is funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Research Resources. For more information see the Making Connections web site at http://www.son.washington.edu/~makcon/
