Dear Manitoba Neuroscientists,
On behalf of the Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience, I would like
to congratulate you all on making the June 14 Manitoba Neuroscience
Network meeting an overwhelming success. We had well over 150
registrants and 50 poster presentations, combined with excellent
speakers that illustrated the breadth and depth of neuroscience research
quality in Manitoba.
Our strategy sessions were productive and yielded information being used
currently to fuel long term plans of the WCSN to advocate for
neuroscience research outreach and education in Manitoba. Details of
these plans will follow.
One point of strong agreement at the meeting is that the WCSN should
initiate a seminar series that would further encourage sharing of
information and technologies, as well as social interaction, on an
ongoing basis. In response to this, an innovative speaker series is
being planned. This initiative will require a dedicated volunteer to
coordinate, schedule and attend to fine details. If you would like to
serve in the capacity of Seminar Coordinator for the WCSN, please
contact our office at wcsn(a)sbrc.ca.
Thank you for helping invigorate the Manitoba neuroscience community.
Sincerely,
Chris M. Anderson, PhD
