This year the Penn Neuroethics Program has two talk series! One is a continuation of the lectures we've been hosting for three years, featuring visiting and local speakers. The other is an informal series of presentations by graduate students and postdocs working in neuroethics, for the benefit of their fellow students and anyone else interested in attending.
The Spring 2009 schedule is here!
All talks will now take place from Noon to 1:15. Lectures will take place on Wednesdays and student presentations on Mondays.
