Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the MNN will continue to present biomedical neuroscience research presentations within the Clinical Neuroscience Rounds program. These talks will be held on the last Friday of every month, starting in October. The talks will be from 9-10 am. Currently, the plan is to present remotely, giving access to all spanning several campuses. Ultimately, the mode of delivery will be determined by the Rounds organizers.

Neuroscience seminar TOMORROW - Fort Garry Campus
by Manitoba Neuroscience Network 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

/sent on behalf of Dr. Mark Fry Dear Colleagues, We are happy to announce the first seminar in Biological Sciences of the 2022/23 year will be Friday, Sept. 16th at 3pm in Buller 207. This week's speaker is Dr. Ken Lukowiak from the University of Calgary who will be presenting on "The many forms of memory in Lymnaea". Dr. Lukowiak's research focuses on the causal neuronal mechanisms of learning, memory formation and forgetting. They are interested in how stress alters memory formation; especially ecologically relevant stressors such as predator detection and crowding. More information on Dr. Lukowiak's research can be found here <https://scholar.google.ca/citations?hl=en&user=LoCUtBsAAAAJ&view_op=list_wo rks&sortby=pubdate.> https://scholar.google.ca/citations?hl=en&user=LoCUtBsAAAAJ&view_op=list_wor ks&sortby=pubdate. If you would like to set up a meeting with our guest speaker on Friday, please contact Mark Fry to arrange a time. I hope we will have a strong turn out to our first seminar of the year.

Slack messaging for MNN
by Manitoba Neuroscience Network 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

/sent on behalf of Dr. Robert Beattie Dear MNN members, We are happy to announce that we have created an MNN slack channel, which can be joined via this <https://join.slack.com/t/manitobaneuro-uih1077/shared_invite/zt-1fuhvsvc1-Z bo4CMWOuy6_Ld4IZdFWNQ> invitation link. Slack is a free messaging app for business that connects people to the information they need. By bringing people together to work as one unified team, Slack transforms how organizations communicate. The invitation is open to all MNN members, including faculty, staff and students. While participation is entirely optional, we encourage all MNN members and their lab colleagues to join. We want this platform to help build bridges between Manitoban neuroscientists. Through slack, you can quickly ask your colleagues questions, such as if other labs have a temporary replacement for a reagent you ran out of or if others have protocols they might be willing to share. It also allows graduate students across campuses to connect more informally. Feel free to also share announcements with others, like when your lab has a new paper, common equipment is not working or if there is an exciting seminar coming up. Thank you for your time, and if you have any suggestions, feedback, or ideas for additional sub-channels, please let us know. Sincerely, Robert Beattie ****************************************** <http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> <https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>
