Funded places for early-career researchers at a human brain development & evolution workshop

Posted by the Node, on 8 March 2018

This summer, the Company of Biologists, the not-for-profit publisher of Development, is running a Workshop on ‘Development and evolution of the human neocortex‘, organised by Victor Borrell, Wieland Huttner and Arnold Kriegstein.

The Company of Biologists Workshops provide leading experts and early career scientists from a diverse range of scientific backgrounds with a stimulating environment for the cross-fertilisation of interdisciplinary ideas. The programmes are carefully developed and are intended to champion the novel techniques and innovations that will underpin important scientific advances.

There are currently multiple funded spaces for early-career researchers to attend this exciting event (deadline = 23 March). To find out more and apply online please visit
