KEYSTONE SYMPOSIUM SEMINAR



BIOLOGY 299 (804)

KEYSTONE SYMPOSIUM SEMINAR

3 UNITS/FALL 2010

INSTRUCTOR: DR. MARTY HEWLETT

This special seminar will prepare students to attend portions of two

Keystone Symposia, being held in Taos during February 2011.

Students will study the work of selected research scientists, attend

their presentations, and meet with the researchers during their time in

Taos. The two symposia are:


Multiple Sclerosis (February 15 – 20, 2011)


Neurodegenerative Diseases (February 21 – 26, 2011)


The course will begin in October 2010 and continue until March 2011.

During this time, students will meet with Dr. Hewlett to read material

in basic neuroscience as well as specific papers relevant to the work

of selected attendees at the two symposia. The course will culminate

with the submission of a term paper covering the material of the two

symposia.


Enrollment will be limited to no more that eight students. Students

must have adequate preparation for this material. As a result, this

course can only be taken by permission of the instructor. Please
