WFU Neuroscience seminar on Monday, March 31, 2025, at 4 pm in Worrell Hall 1312. Paul J. Laurienti, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Radiology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, will give a seminar talk titled β€œNeuroscience, Society, & Me.”

This talk will discuss the dynamic interplay between the brain and society. We will examine how brain networks and behavior are influenced by our social experiences as well as how Neuroscience can collaborate with Society in the performance of research.

All are welcome. Sponsored by the Boswell Presidential Chair for Neuroscience Search Committee.

To view upcoming, exciting WFU Biology in-person and/or virtual seminars scheduled for the Spring 2025 semester, please visit Departmental Seminars.
