Mary Beth Hatten ’71, the Frederick P. Rose Professor in the Laboratory of Developmental Neurobiology at 洛克菲勒大学, is returning to Hollins and the Roanoke area to take part in three special events on April 13 and 14.
Hatten is a past recipient of the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience Investigator Award, the Javits Neuroscience Investigator Award, and a Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers from the 国家科学基金会. 2015年,她获得了著名的马克斯·考恩奖(Max Cowan Award),该奖项旨在表彰在发育神经科学领域做出杰出贡献的神经科学家。
On Wednesday, April 13, Hatten will host a casual conversation with Hollins students from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. in the Chemistry Reading Room (Dana 225). At 4:30 p.m., she will present “Mechanisms of Brain Development: Implications for Autism and Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders.” 讲座是免费的,对校园社区和公众开放。
The 弗吉尼亚理工大学卡里翁研究所 (VTCRI) is featuring Hatten as part of its Distinguished Public Lecture Series on Thursday, April 14. She will discuss “Mechanisms of Cerebellar Development: Migration, Circuit Formation, and Synaptic Plasticity” beginning at 5:30 p.m. 免费向公众开放。
“VTCRI is bringing some of the world’s leading medical researchers and scientific thought 赌球在线 to Roanoke as part of our mission to engage the community in the excitement and promise of scientific research,” VTCRI Executive Director Michael Friedlander explained on the institute’s website. “We’re absolutely delighted to be able to share the insights of such highly sought-after experts in such a range of fascinating topics.”
