Dear Manitoba Neuroscientists,

As you know, the Manitoba Neuroscience Network holds monthly seminars, the last Friday of each month, in cooperation with Clinical Neuroscience Rounds. Although most seminars have been in Theatre B at the Bannatyne Campus of the University of Manitoba, one of our objectives is to spread a few of these seminars around to the different neuroscience campuses in Winnipeg. We have had 2 at the St. Boniface Campus. They have been well-attended by St. Boniface neuroscientists but modestly attended by people from other campuses.

The May seminar will be held on May 27, 9-10 am at the FORT GARRY CAMPUS, Helen Glass 370. The speaker is Dr. Gilbert Kirouac from the Faculty of Dentistry. Because the purpose of these seminars is largely to facilitate interaction/familiarization among neuroscientists, I encourage as many of you as possible to travel to the Fort Garry Campus for this event.  For those who cannot leave the Bannatyne Campus, there will be a videolink to Theatre B. I am told it is functional but I will insist on testing to avoid what happened during the April seminar.

Thank you all for your understanding and commitment to the MNN seminar series.

Sincerely,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
