Our graduating Neuroscience Minors traveled to Wake Forest University to attend the Symposium for Young Neuroscientists and Professors of the SouthEast. Our students presented 11 posters and gave 2 talks at the conference. Lauren Ramsey and Maggie Diamond both received $200 competitive travel awards to present their Bachelor’s Essay research in the student platform session. Congratulations, Lauren and Maggie. Next year the Neuroscience Program will be taking our students to Francis Marion University for SYNAPSE 2012.

Fall Specialized Electives

Christopher Korey — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 11:47:44 +0000

The Departments of Physics & Biology offer each fall semester the interdisciplinary class PHYS296/BIOL396 in Biophysical Modeling of Excitable Cells. This class counts as a Specialized Elective for the Neuroscience Minor, or could be used towards Physics BS/BA, or Biology BS/BA, or for the newly implemented Biomedical Physics Minor. Please consider registering for this exciting interdisciplinary offering. If you have questions, please contact Dr. Sorinel Oprisan.
