Neuroscience Retreat

The 2006 Neuroscience Retreat will be held on Friday August 11 in the
Baxter I Auditorium on the Health Sciences Campus. This year the retreat
will feature a series of short presentations to showcase neuroscience
research at the University of Louisville. All neuroscience students and
faculty are encouraged to attend to increase awareness of current
activities in the multiple departments involved in neuroscience
research. New students are particularly encouraged to attend to learn
about the wide range of research training available to them.
