Extended Colloquium Series

An essential part of any training program is a vigorous colloquium series that exposes students and faculty to the very best researchers, as well as familiarizes outside visitors with the work going on within the CNS-NRT.

Speakers in the Extended Colloquium Series will stay for at least two full days. During that time, they will not only give a formal talk and visit related research labs or project groups, but they will also participate in a variety of activities specifically targeted at NRT students. In order to prepare students for this discussion, the extended seminar series will feature a critical discussion of one of the speaker’s papers during the week before their visit (see individual speaker pages below). In addition, students will have an opportunity to discuss broader career development issues with the speaker.

You can view recordings of past colloquiua (February 2020 - present) here.

Please provide your feedback after attending each Colloquium Series Talk.

Please share your successful experiences in the NRT program (e.g., recent publication, travel, internship etc.
