Science Seminars 2010
Nearly every Tuesday from September into April, the Parkinson's Institute presents scientific seminars during the lunch hour (beginning at 12:00 noon). From April to September additional seminars may be scheduled. Please check back frequently to see if seminars of interest to you have be added.
These seminars are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC at the Instutute, 675 Almanor Ave., Sunnyvale. In general the topics are technical in nature and benefit our physicians, scientists, and researchers in their work. The seminars are generously supported by Anne and Jack Holloway.
Many of the seminar presenters are from institutions from around the world. We invite them to speak when they are in the area visiting with us, Stanford, UCSF, UC Berkeley, or the Buck Institute. This is an excellent chance for you to be part of the best science in the PD scientific community.
