Dear Neuroscience Principal Investigators,

As you are aware, in 2010 the Manitoba Neuroscience Network joined forces with Clinical Neuroscience Rounds to present one basic neuroscience seminar per month during the second hour of Rounds on the last Friday of each month.  The benefits are:

· Dedicated basic neuroscience seminar series

· Basic scientists and clinicians have a consistent opportunity for discussion once per month

· Clinical neuroscience training program is exposed to basic science research

In 2012/2013 I would like to continue our arrangement and expand the overall quality of the offering by ADDING 2 VISITING SPEAKER SLOTS out of the 7 total for the academic year.  The Manitoba Neuroscience Network will fund these speakers at reasonable levels.

I am looking for a volunteer FACULTY MEMBER to coordinate the series.  The "perk" would be the opportunity to choose and invite the external speakers within the framework of MNN objectives.

If you are interested, please contact Chris Anderson at canderson@sbrc.ca.

Thanks and have a great summer!!

Chris
