MNN Winnipeg Brain Bee Event Volunteers for Judges and Workshop Leaders
by Protiti Khan 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all doing well. On Saturday, March 8th, 2025 we will be hosting our annual Winnipeg Brain Bee and I would like to ask if you would be willing to serve as judges, workshop leaders, or both as you have in previous years. We currently have about 40 students signed up, and I am still waiting to hear from one of the schools, so the numbers could be somewhat higher, which means that we will definitely need a full complement of volunteers. The event will be on the Bannatyne campus; in the Apotex Building. The format will be identical to last year. Competition will take place first; with judges (one PI and 1 student per room of ~ 8-12 students). Then there will be a lunch over a guest lecture. Then workshops taking place from 1-2:30– pending on volunteer labs leading them. The judges will be required in the morning from 9:30-11:30 am. The workshops will take place from 1-2:30 pm, so we request the workshop leaders to be available from 12:30- 2:30. Volunteers helping in all other capacity will be required to be there from 9:00-3:00pm. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in participating this year and in what role(s) – volunteer (any assigned task), workshop leader or judge. All volunteers will receive of co-curricular recognition for their work. If you would like to do something new in your workshop this year, go for it! Thank you very much for your help with this important MNN event that cannot happen without volunteers like you.

Lecture for The Spinal Cord Research Centre: Friday March 17th, 2025: Dr. Martha Bagnall
by Protiti Khan 10 Jan '25

10 Jan '25

This email was sent on behalf of Dr. Katinka Stecina Please see attached poster for details: The Spinal Cord Research Centre would like to invite you to listen in our 2025 Research Seminar Series " Longitudinal spinal circuits for motor control" Martha Bagnall, PhD Associate Professor, Department of Neuroscience, Washington University, USA Dr. Bagnall worked with Sascha du Lac at the Salk Institute. There she studied intrinsic, synaptic, and circuit function in the mouse vestibular brainstem and cerebellum. During a postdoctoral position with Massimo Scanziani, she mapped the thalamic projection to inhibitory neurons in barrel cortex. Next, with David McLean at Northwestern University, she found that the spinal circuit in zebrafish contains parallel but distinct premotor pathways for independent control of dorsal and ventral musculature. The Bagnall lab at Washington University studies motor and postural circuits in zebrafish.
