[Neuropostdocs] Coffee Talk & Lunch with Richard Harris

[Samuel Beshers]

Hi everyone,

Reminder:   Richard Harris' talk is this afternoon at 4:00 in the 
Spurlock Museum auditorium.

We also have time with him tomorrow morning and at lunch time; this is a 
great opportunity to
talk about science journalism, perspectives on science from the outside, 
communicating about
science to the public, and issues facing the scientific community.

RSVP and take advantage!

Sam
