One of our highlights again this year has
been the M.R. Bauer Distinguished Guest Lecturer Series.
This program, now in its second year, brought to campus
two of the most outstanding neuroscientists in the world
— J.
Anthony Movshon, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Investigator and professor of neural science and psychology
at New York University and Michael
Merzenich, a professor of otolaryngology at the University
of California, San Francisco, and a member of the National
Academy of Sciences.
Both guests visited Brandeis for a full week. They each
gave a public talk (summarized on the following pages),
spoke to classes, met formally with graduate students
and postdoctoral fellows, presented at journal clubs,
and met with many of the neuroscience laboratories. Their
schedules were quite full, very educational, and enjoyed
by all!
