Annual IPN Retreat
Tea Time - 2009
Saturday,
10:00
Organizer:
Monika Mellum,
Tea Time
is an informal discussion about current events or other topics relevant to
our lives as scientists. At the retreat, our Tea Time discussion will focus
on
"Intersections
between our academic and extracurricular lives".
In his book “Advice for a Young
Investigator” Ramon y Cajal says, “We may learn a great deal from books, but
we learn much more from the contemplation of nature...” Classically,
science has progressed in part by taking our field observations and testing
them in the lab. Do we still do this today? In general, how do our lives
outside of neuroscience affect our work as neuroscientists? Additionally,
neuroscience is expanding our understanding of human nature and the
brain/mind in many ways. How much of what we are learning from neuroscience
as neuroscientists do we really digest and integrate into our own lives? Do
we answer these questions differently based on our areas of study within
neuroscience?
