SOMAS Luncheon @ SfN

It was a great privilege to attend the 2012 SOMAS Luncheon at the annual SfN meeting yesterday.  This is a great program that has supported undergraduate neuroscience instructors in the early stages of their careers and provided funding in support of the collaborative student-faculty research.

• Carlita Favero, Ph.D.  Ursinus College
• Elizabeth Glater, Ph.D.  Harvey Mudd College
• Josef G. Trapani, Ph.D.  Amherst College
