[FUN_Mail] FUN Social and Poster Session information

[Michelle Tong]

Hi Amy Jo -- I'm looking forward to this meeting. I love the idea of
informal conversations, and I'd be interested in two that you have not
listed: (1) New Profs comparing notes - workshop for junior faculty who are
in their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th years as faculty; (2) "Introduction to
Neuroscience" courses -- best practices, labs, what's working well -- focus
on teaching neuroscience material to diverse biology competencies.

I'd like to hear and learning about both these topics, but since it's
informal, I'm happy to facilitate!

See you at mGLuRs?

m.
