Journeys in Neuro

Journeys in Neuro is a summer series exploring career and training trajectories at different stages in academia. Each event features lightning talks from a graduate student, postdoc, professor and/or staff member sharing how they got to their current position and what it looks like on a day to day basis—followed by an extended Q&A session. Lunch will be provided!
