| Charlie Greer holds students in rapt attention at an INP happy hour of yore. |
The INP has many events throughout the year that draw large portions of the neuroscience community. Among these are monthly seminar series, including both external and intramural speakers, and the following:
Student Research Talks (SRTs): All INP students are expected to give an annual research-in-progress talk. These talks generally occur every other Tuesday during the academic year and are widely attended by the greater neuroscience community at Yale. Pizza lunch is provided. See the SRTs page for further details and a schedule of upcoming student speakers.
INP Journal Club: Every other Thursday during the academic year, INP students meet to discuss a recent paper. The journal club is student-run; generally, for each meeting, one student is responsible for presenting the paper to the group, and another student arranges dinner. Yes, dinner is provided, courtesy of the INP and some of New Haven's finest dining establishments. See the Journal Club page for further details and/or to sign up to present.
Student-Faculty Lunches: These provide an opportunity for students and faculty members to meet in a casual environment for question-and-answer sessions on topics like choosing postdoc positions, balancing research careers and family, etc. As the name would suggest, lunch is provided.
Annual Picnic: Each September, the INP hosts a picnic for students and faculty to meet and relax together for an evening before getting swept up in the rush of the academic year. Stay tuned for details on this year's picnic.
Annual Retreat: Most years, students and faculty also enjoy a weekend retreat held in the spring. Retreats are a combination of academics and socialization, with talks from faculty members, poster sessions from students, afternoon soccer games, evening mixers, and an always-hilarious program of skits courtesy of the first-year students. Stay tuned for further details and for hopefully-soon-to-be-added videos of previous years' skits.
Happy Hours: Occasional happy hours, usually on Fridays, allow the neuroscience community to interact in an informal setting. These are freqently attended by not only members of the Neuroscience Program, but by members of related departments, such as Neurobiology, Physiology, and Pharmacology, making them a great place to mix with member of the larger biological sciences community.
And much, much more! A myriad of other events await those brave souls who join the email list of the INP registrar, Carol Russo (go here for her contact info). Email the webmaster (see link in bottom frame) if you'd like your event to appear in the table below.
For a list of even more events in and around the Yale School of Medicine, see the YSM Event Calendar. Neuroscience-specific events will be posted on the Neuroscience Event Calendar.
