Bringing together WashU scientists interested in understanding the role of glial cells in the CNS and PNS through works-in-progress and recent publication discussions
If you find yourself reading a lot of new papers without lab work to do, now is your chance to share with our community. Anyone interested is welcome to participate!
When: 12:00p Wednesday
Where: Zoom conference
Organizers: Sarah Rosen (post doc in the Klein lab, WashU Medicine), Celia McKee (Graduate student, Neuroscience Program)
