Location: 

Harvard University, Northwest Building, room B103, 52 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA

Guest speaker:
Erich Jarvis, PhD

Abstract:
My long-term goal is to decipher the molecular mechanisms that construct, modify, and maintain neural circuits for complex behavioral traits. One such trait is vocal learning, which is critical for song in song-learning birds and spoken-language in humans. Remarkably, although all are distantly related, we...

Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day

12:00pm to 1:00pm

Location: 

Massachusetts State House, Hall of Flags, Great Hall, Beacon Hill, Boston, MA

A COLLABORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS REHABILITATION FACILITIES, CONSUMER ORGANIZATIONS, LEGISLATORS, SCIENTISTS, RESEARCHERS, POLICY MAKERS, AND ADVOCATES WORKING TOWARD A COMMON GOAL TO INCREASE AWARENESS AND FUNDING FOR SPINAL CORD INJURY

The program this year is about persuasive communication. “TELL YOUR STORY.”

We know we need increased funding for research to a cure. We need to show our legislators in human terms the value of increased funding.

The SCI Trust Fund was established in 2004 to provide funding opportunities for SCI...
