The 2023 Ninth Annual BHI Symposium is next week on Thursday, November 30. The symposium begins at 8 AM and ends at 5.30 PM. Based on pre-registration we have about 225 faculty, trainee and staff attending. We have an outstanding lineup of speakers with the Keynote Lecture by Dr. Michael Shadlen from Columbia University.
In addition, as we enter the 10th year (!!), to help BHI develop its next Strategic Plan, the committee will hold “Brainstorming for Brain Health” during lunch. Come prepared with ideas for the future of BHI!
We are also hosting 19 post-doc candidates from US and Canada this year at a post-doc recruitment event the day before the symposium. These candidates will be attending the symposium to experience the breadth of neuroscience research at Rutgers and its welcoming and collaborative community.
