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?
