Our seminar series brings outside speakers to campus to deliver lectures in a variety of areas of neuroscience, and to meet and network with St. Mary’s neuroscience students. Speakers have included prominent neuroscientists in a variety of fields which overlap with other areas of science including psychology, biology, and chemistry, thus providing a broad appeal to the campus community. These seminar presentations expose our student minors to cutting-edge research in the field and showcase what it means to be an active research neuroscientist.
