CNLM Colloquium Series
The CNLM Colloquium Series, supported by the Thomas Henry Curtis Fund, brings learning and memory scientists from around the world to UC Irvine. This lecture series is a great opportunity for faculty, students, trainees and research staff to learn about the latest in learning and memory research and gain feedback on their own work. Meeting with the speaker provides powerful network building opportunities for students and trainees and fosters future collaborations.
Location: The series is hosted in person at the Dale Melbourne Herklotz Conference Center at the CNLM (building 506 on the campus map).
Code of Conduct: All event attendees must adhere to the CNLM Code of Conduct.
