Coffee & Cake for YNiC Researchers 🎂☕

Everyone is invited over to YNiC this Tuesday (23rd of September, from 10:30am) to enjoy a coffee and piece of cake. This will be a very informal chance to catch-up with other YNiC researchers, and a perfect opportunity for new staff and students to meet our neuroscience community. 🎂☕ Our first YNiC Seminar of the semester will follow at 11:30am, so please hang around for that too!

YNiC seminars are scheduled for Tuesdays at 11:30am fortnightly. Our first seminar will be this Tuesday (23rd of September) and we have a speaker from the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology, Professor Zhihong Huang, who will be speaking about her work using Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (FUS). 

We look forward to seeing you over in YNiC for the seminar, but here is a zoom link for those unable to attend in person: https://york-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/98670275020?pwd=BlWUvtKsJ5GUC90q7g5OfmaqXF9phK.1&jst=2
