ViDA presents:
The future of Dopamine
Nov 19, 2020
ViDA is pleased to announce our first symposium to showcase the up and coming leaders in the dopamine field! This one-day event will feature advanced postdocs presenting full-length talks on dopamine, the basal ganglia and related fields.
Detailed program schedule is now available (Link)
On November 6th, 2020, we hosted Loren Frank (UCSF) to give a seminar on how to structure and give a science talk. This was specifically aimed at helping our postdoc candidates create the best possible talk. You can watch a replay of the event on the ViDA youtube channel (Link).
