[FUN_Mail] Thoughts on a neuroscience teaching conference at WFU?

[Katy Lack]

Dear Julio, Eric and others with a similar question,

I've attended a FUN workshop in the past and have appreciated the wide
range of topics from teaching to faculty support to assessment of
neuroscience programs.  The aim of the proposed conference is simply to
delve into and focus on neuroscience teaching pedagogy.

Thanks,
Katy
