One of the highlights again this year has been the M.R.
Bauer Distinguished Guest Lecturer Series. This program,
now in its fourth year, brought to campus two outstanding
people, both well known neuroscientists-Julian
Jack, affiliated with University Laboratory of Physiology
at Oxford in England, and Mary
Kennedy, a professor in the Department of Biology
at the California Institute of Technology. Both guests
spent a week at Brandeis. Their schedules were full with
a public lecture, class sessions, presentations at journal
clubs, meetings with graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows, and spending time in many neuroscience laboratories.
Feedback from our students clearly indicate what a privilege
it is to have these world class scientists spending this
amount of time on campus, getting to know the students,
and providing invaluable advice to these younger scientists.
Both weeks were very busy, informative, and enjoyable
for all.
