Emerging Scientists Symposium

REMIND co-chairs organize an annual symposium where predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees in neurodegenerative disease research at UCI have the opportunity to present their work to faculty, staff, and students. The event includes invited trainee presentations, poster competitions and awards, and distinguished speakers from across the country.

The 11th Annual Emerging Scientist Symposium on February 21, 2020, featured a keynote lecture from Carol Barnes, PhD, Regents’ Professor of Psychology, Neurology, and Neuroscience at the University of Arizona.

Previous keynote symposium speakers include Cori Bargmann, PhD from Rockefeller University and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Leslie Thompson, PhD from UCI, Marc Diamond, MD from UT Southwestern, Rudy Tanzi, PhD from Harvard University, Rusty Gage, PhD from the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences, Li-Huei-Tsai, PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Clive Svendsen, PhD from Cedars-Sinai, Valina Dawson, PhD from Johns Hopkins, and Jeanne Loring, PhD from The Scripps Research Institute.

STEAM Outreach Council

REMIND is an active member of the UCI STEAM Outreach Council, an initiative led by the Beall Center for Art + Technology that aims to engage K-12 students from local under-resourced public schools in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. REMIND trainees have led brain education workshops for over 300 middle and high school students in Orange County.
