Introduction
One of the highlights again this year has been the M.R.
Bauer Distinguished Guest Lecturer Series. This program,
now in its fifth year, brought to campus two outstanding
people, both well-known neuroscientists-Rüdiger Wehner,
professor of zoology at the University of Zürich, and
Michael Bate, F.R.S., of the Department of Zoology at University
of Cambridge in England.
Both guests spent a full week at Brandeis, giving public
lectures, class sessions, and presentations at journal clubs,
meeting with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows,
and spending time in many neuroscience laboratories. Feedback
from our students clearly indicates that it is a significant
privilege 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.
