[Neuropostdocs] Breakfast with Dr. Fetcho

[Christian Beaulé]

Hi Everyone,

Next tuesday's seminar speaker is Dr. Joseph Fetcho. Breakfast at 
Courier Café, Urbana, from 08:00-08:50. Let me know if you are planning 
to attend.

Here is a description of Dr. Fetcho provided by his host Richard 
Kollmar:

Our Neuroscience speaker on April 5th will be Dr. Joseph Fetcho.  Joe 
just moved from the Department of Neuroscience and Behavior at SUNY 
Stony Brook to its name sake at Cornell University.  Since the 
mid-90's, he has pioneered the use of optical imaging techniques to 
investigate motor control in the live zebrafish (e.g., Ritter et al. 
2001.  In vivo imaging of zebrafish reveals differences in the spinal 
networks for escape and swimming movements.  J Neurosci. 21:8956-65).  
More recently, he has extended his studies towards spinal-cord 
regeneration (Bhatt et al. 2004.Cyclic AMP-induced repair of zebrafish 
spinal circuits. Science 305:254-8).  Joe is unique among zebrafish 
researchers in that he realized and exploited the opportunities for 
neurophysiological studies very early on.
