Brain Awareness Week and some of the ongoing studies in the lab were topics of conversation in recent interviews on CTV, CBC, and Global news with Lab Director Dr. Shaun Boe. You can check out two of these interviews online here, and here.
Our fearless leader, Shaun Boe, recently wrote an article about brain plasticity for the Halifax Citizen. Check it out here!
It doesn’t seem that long ago but indeed it’s been a full year since our successful 2014 campaign. This year’s event promises to be a good one as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of spreading the word about the importance and impact of neuroscience research. Stay tuned for details about Brain Awareness Week events and check out our website or Facebook page for updates!
Lab Director Dr. Shaun Boe has just learned that he has been granted tenure and a promotion to Associate Professor effective July 1, 2015. Shaun would like to extend a thank you to past and present lab members as well as his research collaborators for all their support and contributions since he has joined Dalhousie in January 2010.
RADIANT student and lab member Sarah Kraeutner was recently featured in material promoting the benefits of the RADIANT program. Check out her RADIANT profile video here. RADIANT is a groundbreaking program that promotes innovation, commercialization, and entrepreneurship in neuroscience-based research. For more details on RADIANT, visit our website.
The lab received great news this past week that current MSc student Sarah Kraeutner will be sticking around as she has been accepted into the PhD program in Psychology and Neuroscience. Sarah was also notified that she has been awarded a Nova Scotia Graduate Scholarship (NSGS). The NSGS is valued at $15 000 per year and is renewable for four years! Congratulations Sarah!
In keeping with tradition, we held out holiday party in January to help kick off the new year! It was a great night with good food and better company! Here’s to a fantastic 2015!
Lab member Sarah Kraeutner (second from left) was one of five students recognized by a BrightRed scholarship from the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia. Sarah received her award from Dr. Stephen Phillips (fourth from left), a Heart and Stroke Foundation board member and stroke neurologist at a luncheon for student and faculty awardees. Congratulations Sarah!
