Dear Research Colleagues:
I want to tell you about a brand new networking opportunity that is quite
exciting for anyone involved in metabolism or mitochondrial research etc. It
is called mitoNet and is the first Canadian mitochondrial network. Several
key opinion leaders in Canada (eg, Dr. Ana Andreazza, U. Toronto),
stakeholders at CHOP-UPENN (eg., Dr. Doug Wallace), along with the
MitoCanada Board of Directors (of which I am a Board Director) have launched
a new platform for mitochondrial networking around the world with a special
emphasis on Canadian researchers.
Here is the link: https://www.mitonet.ca/
I encourage you to sign up today. More information will be available on this
network shortly, but it is important for people to register ASAP.
Thank you,
Benedict C. Albensi, Ph.D.
Manitoba Dementia Research Chair
Board Director for MitoCanada Foundation
Professor of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, Univ. Manitoba

Hello everyone,
Thank you to everyone who attended the first MNN seminar on Friday. We have
a great lineup of speakers this year, so we hope that you will come out to
support them and hear about their work.
I have several updates to share with you regarding our outreach activities.
First, I am excited to announce that the MNN and Manitoba Craft Council, in
partnership with the University of Manitoba, will be hosting a new
Neurocraft exhibition in March, 2018. The exhibition will be held at the C2
Centre for Craft, which is the new home of the MCC and the Manitoba Crafts
Museum and Library. All of the works from the previous show will be on
display, as well as some new pieces. There will be an opening reception on
Friday, March 2nd, and the show will run for the entire month in conjunction
with Brain Awareness Week. We are also planning to hold some workshops for
kids, and I will be sending out a call for volunteers (faculty and students)
once the details are finalized.
I am also pleased to inform you that Dr. Pierre Marquet, Canada Excellence
Research Chair in Neurophotonics, Université Laval, will be our visiting
speaker for Brain Awareness Week. Dr. Marquet will be here in Winnipeg on
March 14th and 15th, and there will be opportunities to meet with him on
both days.
Some of you, particularly those of you at U of Ms Fort Garry Campus, may be
familiar with Lets Talk Science, a student-run initiative that runs STEM
workshops and outreach programs for elementary and high school students.
Each year they host a symposium focusing on a single subject, and one of the
student leaders has requested our assistance with a neuroscience symposium
for next year. NeuroTalks will likely take place in late April or early
May, 2018, and should attract approximately 100 students. This will be a
great opportunity for us to introduce these students to our field, and I
will be looking for faculty and student volunteers to help with career
panels and laboratory demonstrations. Once again, details will be
forthcoming.
Finally, I would like to reiterate that if you have recently published a
paper (research or a review), please send us the details so that we can
share it on our social media accounts. These posts are seen by literally
thousands of people and are a great way to publicize our achievements. You
can send the information to me via the MNN Outreach email address or to our
Social Media Director Crystal Acosta: umacostc(a)myumanitoba.ca
I wish you all success in your research and teaching this term.
Best wishes, Sari
Sari S. Hannila, PhD
Director of Outreach, Manitoba Neurscience Network
