Students are required to attend 2 Grand Rounds presentations
or Neurobiology of Disease-related talks. These may be talks
held at Brandeis, or at neighboring hospitals, medical schools
or Universities. (They may be outside the Boston area if you
can get there). Lists of Boston Area Grand Rounds and other
talks will be made available on the web site.
Some listings of area talks are available at:
Before attending the talk read at least one research article
or review article by the person speaking (if possible on the
topic or a closely related topic). If you cannot find an article
by the speaker find an article by another author on a closely
related topic. After attending the talk, write a log entry
summarizing the talk and your reaction to it. Prior to the
end of the course you must hand in these paragraphs together
with information on the speakers, titles, locations, dates
and times and the citations for the papers you read. Since
you will be an outside guest at these talks/presentation please
try to be courteous. Do not disrupt the presentation by entering
late or leaving early.
