On Friday October 27th at 12:15 we are launching the “Cogs” discussion group at YNiC. Cogs runs alongside existing YNiC events and is intended to help build an inclusive research culture by welcoming people to the centre and talking about new and exciting ideas in cognitive neuroscience. This could include talking about recent papers or new tools, but beyond that we’re pretty open-minded, so the first meeting will be a chance to share your thoughts on the format and what we can do to make it work best for you. Cogs is open to everyone with an interest in cognitive neuroscience research, whether that’s undergraduates or masters students running projects at YNiC, PhD students, postdocs, academic staff and the YNiC team. This semester Cogs sessions will start at 12.15 on alternate weeks Semester 1, Week 5, October 27th 12.15 Inaugural welcome and discussion Further dates this semester - presenters/topics to be announced in due course (let us know if you want to present, now or in the future) Semester 1, Week 6, November 10th 12.15 Semester 1, Week 8, November 24th 12.15 Semester 1, Week 10, December 8th 12.15 This timetable will be reviewed at the end of the semester, so let us know if it works/doesn't work for you and we'll try to take that into account.
