[FUN_Mail] Neurobiology of Disease course

Tue Jul 8 16:18:00 EDT 2014

Hi all, this seems to be a good time to remind everyone that the FUN
website also serves as a syllabus repository, and we're in need of more of
them! They will also get indexed by ERiN so they can be found by the
greater neuroscience educational community. These are valuable resources
that many new (as well as experienced) faculty love to use as a basis for
developing a new course or tweaking an existing one. The submission page
can be found here: http://www.funfaculty.org/drupal/node/add/syllabi (you
will need to log in first).

Thanks,

Joe Burdo
