CamBRAIN, the Cambridge Neuroscience Society, is one of largest student neuroscience societies in the UK. They are committed to fostering collaboration and communication amongst its >1,000 members, appreciating the diversity of research and interests that fall under the umbrella of this rapidly expanding and exciting field of neuroscience. In addition to academic talks, presentations and workshops intended for personal/career development, CamBRAIN runs a series of social and public engagement events which allow our members to share experiences and build successful networks.
CamBRAIN is the early careers branch of Cambridge Neuroscience. They work closely with Cambridge Neuroscience and are run by, and for, students/ECRs within neuroscience. Their focus is more on bringing together early researchers socially, and giving opportunities for all to share their work with each other in more informal settings. They also do outreach work with the public and collaborate with their counterparts from other universities to organise conferences and inter-uni networking events.

We invite you to join our Neurotalk which will also be CamBRAIN’s welcome event with free drinks (while the supplies last!)
Theme is Neurodegeneration: From molecules to networks. Speakers include Dr. Emma R. Wilson, Jessica Tennett, and Milica Doric who will share with us exciting research on the programmed axon death pathway in the peripheral and central nervous systems, as well as connectome-based models of neurodegeneration!
See further details below and on CamBRAIN social media @cambraincns!
🗓️ Tuesday 13 October
🕐 7pm-9pm, or as late as you like
🗺️ Cambridge Tap, upstairs
For those of you who haven’t been to Neurotalks before: each month CamBRAIN 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! Everyone is welcome!
