Student Seminars
The seminar milestone is a central component of the scientific development of graduate students in our program. Students learn from scientific talks across almost every subfield of Neuroscience, from cellular/molecular work to animal work to human experiments, and techniques ranging from single cell patch clamping to circuit-level electrophysiology, neuroimaging and human behaviour, to computational neuroscience modeling approaches. In addition, students benefit from the experience of designing, preparing, rehearsing, and delivering focused scientific talks based on their thesis research projects.
MSc students deliver 1 talk in their second year, and PhD students deliver 3 talks in years 2-4. Direct entry or PhD transfer students will deliver 4 talks in years 2-5.
PhD students: 10-12 mins + 3-5 min Q&A (capped at 15 mins)
MSc students: 8-10 mins + 2-4 min Q&A (capped at 12 mins)
