In the scientific symposium, six young women researchers will present their recent findings. They all have achieved excellent results in the field of Neuroscience, and will provide exciting topics. Following this symposium, a luncheon seminar will be held in Room 133-134. Dr. Hiroko Tsukamura is an eminent woman researcher of reproductive science, and also a director of Gender-Equality Promotion Office of Nagoya University. She will give a talk about the present efforts and potential problems surrounding academic careers for women. After her talk, participants, including students, young researchers and PIs, will discuss frankly about how to develop the carrier as women scientists and how to proceed Japanese science. The luncheon seminar will be held in Japanese. We hope that the two programs will encourage all participants to design their life and academic career.
We welcome everyone who has registered for Neuro2012. For detailed information, please visit the Neuro2012 website.
