One of the highlights again this year has been the M.R.
Bauer Distinguished Guest Lecturer Series. This program,
now completing its seventh year, brought Hollis Cline
to campus, a well-known neuroscientist and the Associate
Director of Research at Cold Spring Harbor.
Dr. Cline spent a week at Brandeis and also delivered
the keynote address at our Scientific Retreat. Dr. Cline’s
schedule for the week was full of meetings with graduate
students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty, and she spent
time visiting many neuroscience laboratories. Feedback
from our students continues to clearly indicate that it
is a significant privilege to have world- class scientists
such as Dr. Cline spending this amount of time on campus,
getting to know the students, and providing invaluable
advice to these younger scientists. These weeks are very
busy, informative, and enjoyable for all.
