Everyone is invited!
Hello all,
In continuation of our SCRC Journal Club seminar series this year we will
resume our weekly meetings on Friday November the 9th, 2018.
Kindly find attached the schedule for the 2018-2019 SCRC Journal club
series. You will notice we will have some invited speakers in addition to
trainees.
Please note our new time and location - 11am to noon on Fridays in room 405
of Brodie Centre.
In our view the main objectives of having a journal club are:
1. Develop and hone critical thinking skills.
2. Develop a breadth of knowledge in the sciences related to spinal
cord injury.
3. Creating a platform for the trainees and PIs to interact and get
to know some possible collaborators.
To meet these objectives and increase the possibility of interaction we are
tweaking the format:
The presentation should be about a recent journal article or more, relevant
to the students' project.
When presenting a paper questions that can be addressed by the student:
a. Why this paper is of interest?
b. What did this paper add to the field?
c. What are the shortcomings of the work?
d. What can be done differently or be the next step from this paper?
e. The presenter can use the paper to segue into their own data and
techniques.
The journal club may be used to present data if the need arises such as to
get feedback on the direction of the trainee's work or alternative
understanding of their results.
It is expected of each trainee to be prepared to present in their allotted
time. In case of unavoidable circumstances, trainees can arrange to switch
their scheduled talks with another presenter and inform me of any changes as
soon as possible.
Best regards,
Mona Nazzal and Katinka Stecina

ANNUAL GAIRDNER LECTURE
DISCOVERY OF OPTOGENETICS AND DEVELOPMENT OF CAUSAL SYSTEMS NEUROSCIENCE
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23 12:00 PM
Frederic Gaspard Theatre Basic Medical Sciences Bldg 745 Bannatyne Ave.
Bannatyne Campus
Presented by Karl Deisseroth, MD, PhD
RECIPIENT OF THE CANADA GAIRDNER INTERNATIONAL AWARD (2018)
D. H. Chen D. H. Chen Professor of Bioengineering and of Psychiatry and
Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University;
Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Dr. Deisseroth is the D. H. Chen Professor of Bioengineering and of
Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. He is known for
creating and developing the technologies of CLARITY and optogenetics, and
for applying integrated optical and genetic strategies to study normal
neural circuit function as well as dysfunction in neurological and
psychiatric disease. He has led the Deisseroth laboratory since 2004. Based
in the James H. Clark Center at Stanford, the lab employs a range of
techniques including neural stem cell and tissue engineering methods,
electrophysiology, molecular biology, neural activity imaging, animal
behavior, and computational neural network modeling. Dr. Deisseroth serves
as an attending physician at Stanford Hospital and Clinics, and has been
affiliated with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute since 2009. Since 2014
he is a foreign Adjunct Professor at Swedens prestigious Karolinska medical
institute.
