Annual
Neuroscience Retreat
An especially popular
event is the Annual Neuroscience Retreat, which is held each
fall at a lodge in the countryside near St. Louis. This
well-attended event includes a mixture of academic, social,
and outdoor activities in a relaxed setting and attractive
environment. The informal atmosphere encourages interactions
among students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty from different
departments and different subdisciplines.
The
2008 Neuroscience Retreat will be held October 3 (Friday)
at the Trout Lodge, YMCA of the OZARKS, Potosi, MO. The format
will include student-postdoc-new faculty talks, a poster session,
a party, and two keynote speakers The Retreat is open
free of charge to Washington University Neuroscience faculty,
postdocs and students. The entire scientific program will
be held on Saturday, but everyone is welcome to spend the
night Saturday and join in or observe the Faculty vs. Students
& Postdocs volleyball competition on Sunday.
