Pathways and Connections

*How does one become a successful neuroscientist?*  This newly-started
seminar series will try to answer this question through a series of
conversations with some of the most successful neuroscientists in the world:
researchers who work right here at the McGill University Health
Centre<http://muhc.ca/>and who are affiliated with McGill
University <http://www.mcgill.ca/>’s  Integrated Program in
Neuroscience<http://www.mcgill.ca/ipn/>(
*IPN*).  This will be your chance to talk to them about the circuitous
pathways and the important, but often serendipitous, connections that led
them to where they are now.



*The inaugural session will feature Dr. David
Colman<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/neuro_team/cell_biology/colman_david/>
*.  The epitome of a successful neuroscientist, Dr. Colman is the current
Director of the Montreal Neurological Institute <http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/>;
he holds the Penfield Chair in Neuroscience at McGill University and a Tier
I Canada Research Chair; he also directs a successful
laboratory<http://colmanlab.mcgill.ca/index.php?page=research>that
studies the interactions between cell-adhesion molecules and examines
how synapses are formed in the central nervous system.



*This first session of the Pathways and Connections series will be held in
the Jeanne Timmins
Amphitheatre<http://neuromedia.mcgill.ca/mnibooking/facdirections/jtadir.htm>of
the Montreal
Neurological Institute <http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/> starting at 4:00 pm on
Monday, February 7th .*  This session will be held in conjunction with the
IPN Undergraduate Open House, and pizza and beverages will be served.



*More details about future sessions of Pathways and Connections will be sent
out as soon as they become available.*  Please note that, in the future,
these sessions will be held in a more intimate setting at Thomson
House<http://pgss.mcgill.ca/MEMBERSHIP/index.html>.
We also plan to have at least one session per year at the Douglas
Hospital<http://www.douglas.qc.ca/?locale=en>.
