CRBLM Highlights and Showcase

The CRBLM has been invited to showcase our work to a visiting delegation of medical students, and we’re using this opportunity to share our ongoing and upcoming research with our wider community as well. Come see a selection of CRBLM researchers present their work, including demonstrations of exciting technology transfer projects! The afternoon will appeal to both specialized and general audience members – we welcome anyone interested in networking with our researchers and in learning about current research on brain, language and music. Registration (below) is appreciated but not required. Refreshments will be served.
