[Neuropostdocs] Meeting with Dr. Sean Smith

[Daniel Llano]

Dear NSP postdocs,

 

Dr. Sean Smith, from Merck, will be here next Thursday to give the Molecular
and Integrative Physiology seminar (see announcement below).  He's expressed
an interest in meeting with grad students and post-docs to answer their
questions about a career in the drug industry.   If you are interested in
meeting with him, let me know.  Depending on the level of interest, we will
probably arrange for a group meeting with NSP students and postdocs, or a
separate meeting with postdocs, sometime on that Thursday afternoon.

 

Best, Dan
