University of Miami Neuroscience Research Day

Each year the University of Miami Neuroscience Program sponsors a special all-day convention, Neuroscience Day, for neuroscientists. Faculty, postdocs, students and staff present posters, discuss their research programs, and attend a lecture given by an internationally-renowned neurobiologist. During the day, the visiting speaker meets informally with the Neuroscience Program graduate students. Neuroscience Day is a high point in the academic year and is always well-attended.

The speaker for the 2005 14th Annual Neuroscience Research Day, will be Dr. Jenny Ting. Click here for more information.
