LNG:ECR Seminar & Networking Event

The Liverpool Neuroscience Early Career Research group (LNG:ECR) is hosting an in-person Seminar & Networking Event on Thursday 20th October 2022 at 2pm. Venue: Room 2.08, LJMU Student Life Building on Copperas Hill. L3 5GE This is a new format event – put together with ECRs (of all stages) in mind – part workshop, part networking event; The aim is to learn about good presentation techniques (from a experienced lecturer), and to get to know fellow neuroscientists from across the city region. In the first half: short presentations by ECRs about their research will be followed by friendly discussions. In the second half: Dr. David Carey (Bangor University) will lead a session on giving an effective & engaging Neuroscience presentation. We are putting out a call for presenters – students, postdocs, & PIs – who would benefit from discussing their research in an informal environment, with other neuroscientists – so please register your interest as a speaker here if:

• you’d like to tell us about your interesting study, exciting results or new technology;
• you have a research problem & want to pick our brains;
• you want to forge new connections, or invite collaborators to join your project;
• there’s a burning neuroscience issue you want to discuss with like-minded folk;

Current projects include recording and quantifying manual asymmetries in left-handers and right-handers and quantification of attentional biases towards the preferred hand, which may prove a useful marker for cerebral asymmetries for speech and language. Dr. Carey is an enthusiastic and engaging lecturer, and he’s kindly accepted our invite (and challenge!) to present on presenting effectively [as a neuroscientist]. ____________   The target audience is new PIs, postdocs and PhD students from the Neuroscience research community, but all are welcome. It will be a great networking opportunity, so we are looking forward to seeing you all in person.
