Unit Science Day, Winter 2016

An attentive audience at the BNDU’s Science Day, winter 2016

The Unit held its fourth Science Day on Friday 16th December 2016. Ongoing and future research projects were the focus of discussion, and Unit members and visitors eagerly took the opportunity to give the constructive criticism that is needed to nurture world-leading research.

There were 15 short talks and 5 poster presentations, all of which were given by the Unit’s students and early-career scientists.  Unit Director Peter Brown commented “It was inspiring to see the excellent progress being made by the newer generations of talented scientists in the Unit. Their discoveries are really pushing back the frontiers of brain research, and their creative and collaborative thinking continues to generate exciting leads for future investigations.”
