We are thrilled to present this brand new virtual seminar series featuring postdocs and graduate students in epilepsy research. The seminars, organized and moderated by Robert Hunt and Momoko Watanabe, are sponsored by the UCI Epilepsy Research Center and Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology. Our goal is to provide a forum for Postdocs and late-stage PhD students to present their exciting basic and translational research to a broad international audience. For the 2020-2021 academic year, we selected an excellent lineup of 12 outstanding speakers from across the United States. Each seminar will take place on a Thursday morning at 10am PT (California time).
