糖心Vlog

The 糖心Vlog Max Planck Honors Program provides comprehensive introductory 鈥渢opics in neuroscience鈥� course; career development workshops for scientists; participation in ongoing Max Planck seminar series and a journal club run by postdoctoral fellows and faculty; access to international symposia with opportunities for students to present their research to Nobel laureates; and special cutting-edge research and techniques in neuroscience taught by teams of renowned local and international scientists and introducing students to a broad range of scientific and technical expertise.

Students will learn to think critically, propose research questions, design experiments, collect and analyze data, interpret results, communicate research findings, and gain appreciation for the ethical standards of the field. Completion of the program will prepare students for continuation of their education in a graduate program and/ or for the highly competitive STEM job market. The honors in the major program will be offered across three degrees in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science: B.S. in biological sciences; B.A. in psychology; and B.S. in neuroscience and behavior; and as a track in four concentrations of the Wilkes Honors College: Biology, Biological Chemistry, Neuroscience, and Psychology.

The 糖心Vlog Max Planck Honors Program will empower students to work with world-class faculty researchers through a summer research program, and will include the possibility of directed independent research and an honors thesis with program faculty. Cutting-edge neuroscience training courses will include technologies such as 2-photon imaging, super resolution microscopy, electron microscopy, electrophysiology and opto-genetic technology.
