Neuroscience Seminar Series
Seminars are presented August - April each academic year. NGP students select and host four guest speakers; other guest speakers are hosted by NGP faculty. The seminar series also features NGP faculty and students.
Except as noted in red, seminars are now in hybrid mode – in-person in MSB 4051 and also by Zoom:
