Program of StudyAnnual Retreat Each
year, faculty, postdocs and graduate students attend a 2-day retreat that
is typically held at the Stanford
Sierra Conference Center at Fallen Leaf Lake, just north of South Lake
Tahoe. The retreat is sponsored by the Neuroscience Graduate Program and
organized by the graduate students. Students have the opportunity to present
10-15 minute research talks. The students also select and invite a neuroscientist
from another University as a keynote speaker for the retreat. A highlight
of the weekend is the banquet and party, which usually features games and
trivia.2003-04 Retreat Gallery 2004 Retreat Schedule Stanford Sierra Conference Center at Fallen Leaf Lake Keynote speaker: To Be Determined Stanford Sierra Conference Center SATURDAY 11:00 am-12:00 pm New Student Orientation 12:00-1:00 pm Arrival/Lunch 1:00-1:30 pm Welcome: Ken Britten - Chair, Neuroscience Graduate Program Barbara Chapman - Master Adviser, Neuroscience Graduate Program Marty Usrey - Chair, Recruitment Committee, Neuroscience Graduate Program Jochen Ditterich - "Neural Mechanisms of Sensoriomotor Transformation and Decision Making" Linda M.
