Achievement

IGERT partners at Howard University and the George Washington University joined with colleagues from Georgetown University and other research institutions for a two-day symposium and workshop entitled: New Avenues and Directions in Neuroscience: A Revolution in Understanding Behavior Through Channels, Genes and Neurons. Hosted at Howard University, the event included a session called: Poetry and Science, which featured a discussion between Richard Dawkins (Oxford University) and Neil deGrasse Tyson (American Musuem of Natural History). During the symposium sessions, IGERT faculty and students presented their latest research.
