Join us Tuesday 10th March, for our next Neurotalks, themed The Second Brain, all about the gut!

Our speakers Thomas Pritchard, Tyler Myers, and Alvaro Castano-Medina will tell us about why chillis hurt going through, what goes wrong in IBD, psychoactive drugs and the gut microbiome, and how we can record gut nerve activity to see what’s going on in there! See further details below.

🗓️ Tuesday 10 March

🕐 7pm-9pm, or as late as you like

🗺️ Cambridge Tap, upstairs

For those of you who haven’t been to Neurotalks before: each month we meet in the Cambridge Tap (private room with bar, upstairs) and enjoy fun, short talks from fellow early-career colleagues in neuroscience over a few pints, and even dinner if you fancy! These talks are meant for a general neuroscience audience, anyone from undergrad up to PI, (i.e. not the heavy nitty gritty academic stuff of lab meeting or conference talks – this is big picture stuff) and you can shout out your weirdest questions at any time!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

The Cambridge Neuroscience Society

 

CamBrain is the early careers branch of Cambridge Neuroscience. Want to know more about the difference?

Cambridge Neuroscience is the Interdisciplinary Research Centre that brings together all neuroscience researchers across Cambridge. This centre is managed by senior representatives from across the related schools and strategic director, Dervila Glynn. It facilitates a cohesive research strategy as well as training and events throughout the year.

CamBrain works closely with Cambridge Neuroscience and is run by, and for, students/ECRs within neuroscience. Our focus is more on bringing together early researchers socially, and giving opportunities for us all to share our work with each other in more informal settings. We also do outreach work with the public and collaborate with our counterparts from other universities to organise conferences and inter-uni networking events, for example.
