What the Students Have to Say:
The Seminar Series
The seminar series is like an infusion
of inspiration once a month. Neuroscience "rock stars" at the
top of their fields talking about amazing things -- you're inspired, that's
my favorite part of it.
-Amy Lincoln, Graduate Student in the Baynes Lab
The
seminar series is first rate! In my first year, I've heard from a wide range
of speakers including Erik Kandel (noted Nobel laureate), Howard Eichenbaum
(a first rate memory researcher), and Jeff Hawkins (invented palm computing
and now directs the Redwood Neuroscience Institute), to name a few. I think
that the most important aspect of the seminar series, after its high standard
of quality, is that there are ample opportunities made for the students
to interact with the speakers in a one-on-one fashion. I'll also note that
I've repeatedly found the seminars to be immediately relevant to both my
class work and research interests.
-Daniel Rathbun, Graduate
Student in the Usrey Lab
TThe
Perspectives Seminar Series was one of the highlights of my first year in
the Neuroscience Grad Group. The focus on giving the students the opportunity
to get some background about each speaker's research and then eat lunch
with the speaker, really stimulated my interest in a number of topics that
I might not have normally given much thought. The speakers are also really
great. At the talk you get to learn about the important and interesting
research they do. And at the lunch you get to learn that they are really
nice and interesting people in general.
-Sarah Lindstrom, Graduate
Student in the Wilson Lab
The student seminar series is great,
because it is really in the hands of the students to decide what happens.
We get to pick which researchers to invite, and we can really get to know
the speaker. There are opportunities to eat breakfast or lunch with the
speaker and there is a great party in the evening.
-Sarah Lindstrom, Graduate
Student in the Wilson Lab
The seminar series is phenomenal and one of my favorite things about Davis-
we have a large number of people coming through and speaking on a regular
basis and each one of these is first rate in their field. The students get
plenty of time with the visitors in both seminar and casual settings.
-Andy Huberman, Graduate Student in the Chapman Lab
