Outreach opportunity - Sport Manitoba Peak Performance Seminars
by outreach＠manitobaneuroscience.ca 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

cid:image001.jpg@01D158FE.B69B8D00 Dear colleagues, The MNN has received an invitation from Sport Manitoba to participate in their Peak Performance seminar series. They are looking for a speaker to present on the topic of sleep and athletic performance, and this could extend into areas such as attention, cognition, and circadian rhythms. Details are provided below and as you can see, an honorarium is also provided. If you are interested, please contact me and I will pass your information on to Sport Manitoba. Best wishes, Sari Sari S. Hannila, PhD Director of Outreach, Manitoba Neuroscience Network Associate Professor, Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science University of Manitoba cid:image004.jpg@01D158FE.B69B8D00 From: Neal Prokop [mailto:Neal.Prokop@sportmanitoba.ca] Sent: Monday, July 15, 2019 11:55 AM To: outreach(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca Cc: Jeff Wood Subject: MNN Community Outreach, Sport Manitoba Peak Performance Seminars Hi Dr. Sari, Sport Manitoba Performance delivers a series of Peak Performance Seminars (P-Series) that take place monthly from October to March. The talks are targeted to high performance amateur athletes, coaches and/or parents to help with development and preparing athletes for competition. We're very interested in incorporating the topic of 'sleep' as one of our topics this year. Is there anyone within the MNN network that would be interested in speaking on the importance of sleep for athletes, sleep strategies for a good night sleep, sleep cycles, naps or other related topics. When researching speakers, we came across Dr. Marcus Ng, but there may be another speaker within the network that could be good fit. All presentations take place at Sport Manitoba's Conference Room (capacity 80), located at 145 Pacific Avenue, Winnipeg Manitoba. The series is also broadcasted via webstream so that athletes in rural regions of the province are able to obtain the information presented. The talks are 45-50-minutes including a 5-10 minute period for questions. All presenters are compensated $200 for their time and efforts! Look forward to hearing your response! Have a great day!

F new IMED neuroscience course
by Kelly Jorundson 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

Sent on Behalf of Drs. Soheila Karimi and Eftekhar Eftekharpour Dept. Physiology and Pathophysiology, Regenerative Medicine Program We are pleased to offer a new interdisciplinary medicine course titled: Neural Stem Cells: Biology and Regenerative Medicine Applications. This course (IMED7104) will discuss the current concepts in neural stem cells from basic neurobiology (development, fate specification and maintenance) to their potential clinical applications in treating a broad range of neurological disorders through activation of endogenous cell population, cellular reprograming, cell transplantation as well as gene and drug delivery. Neural stem cells play critical roles in the developing and adult nervous system and the course is developed to build the necessary knowledge for graduate students and residents within all disciplines in neurosciences. Course schedule: March 11-April 22, 2020 (1.5 credit hour). Please see the attached flyer and syllabus for more information. Please direct your questions to Soheila Karimi (Soheila.Karimi(a)umanitoba.ca) Please follow us on Twitter @KarimiLab Lab Site: http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~karimis/ Soheila Karimi, PhD Associate Professor of Physiology and Pathophysiology Principal Investigator, Neural Regeneration and Stem Cell Program Senior Scientist, Regenerative Medicine Program Principal Investigator, Spinal Cord Research Center Rady Faculty of Health Sciences Max Rady College of Medicine University of Manitoba Address: 745 Bannatyne Avenue, 629 BMSB Winnipeg, MB R3E 0J9 Canada Phone: (204) 272-3109
