Synapse (Neuroscience Student Org)
At Synapse, you're not a member, you're a neurotransmitter; make the connection!
The main goal of Synapse is to act as the "bridge" that undergraduates can utilize to network with research faculty and fellow students. Synapse is primarily a forum for neurobiology/psychology majors, but if you have an interest in neuroscience, all are encouraged to come to a meeting. At meetings we will have different neurobiology and psychology faculty speak about their research. This will help to enhance student/faculty relations and allow students to refine their interests by learning about the many different branches and fields of neuroscience. There will be several opportunities to talk one-on-one with faculty, and this is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in undergraduate research. In addition to the speaker series, Synapse also provides a student network between those who have the same interests and goals.
We also will be involved in:
* setting up small lab tours
* speakers from UTHSCSA, UTSW, and others
* community service opportunities/doctor shadowing associated with mental health or neuroscience
* poster presentation/research report practice for students
* attending various annual neuroscience symposiums and seminars at UT.
* social events (movie screenings at meetings as well as off campus activities)
* the Neurolympiad competition in March
Meetings: bimonthly, Mondays @6:00p held in PAT 617,
( 2011: 9/12, 9/26, 10/10, 10/24, 11/7, 11/21, & 12/5 )
