Kahoot quiz time!! Come along on Thursday and join our quiz, with prizes and snacks up for grabs. Our quizzes are of different themes so even if you’re not studying neuroscience, you’re welcome to participate 🥳🎁🧠

TALK ALERT 🚨

Matthew Cobb is professor of zoology. He is known for his works in communicating science - this talk will focus on his book 'The Idea of the Brain'

Linking research from behavioural ecology, history and philosophy, Matthew provides a comprehensive view of how the idea of the brain changed over time, and what its implications for neuroscience are.

For those with an interest in understanding neuroscience in a broader context, this talk is a must!

First talk of 2023!!! Join us online on Tuesday!! Johnathan Cooper-Knock is clinical lecturer at University of Sheffield. His work focuses on the genetic causes of motor neuron disease and is now leading investigation of the non-coding genome in the largest ever disease-specific whole genome sequencing project which is focused on Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also called motor neuron disease).
