DESCRIPTION:What can one do after a degree in Neuroscience?   This discussi
 on series will address this question through informal conversations with s
 ome successful non-academics with graduate degrees in neuroscience\; the s
 eries will compliment IPN’s Pathways and Connections\, which is the academ
 ic equivalent of Post-Synaptic Careers. This is your chance to talk to tho
 se who were once where you are. Ask the guest speakers about the often dif
 ficult decision to leave academia and the important\, but sometimes serend
 ipitous\, connections that led them to where they are now.    The first se
 ssion will feature Dr. Ian Hellstrom\, Production Coordinator at IC Axon

 ical Science (which became IPN) at McGill\, where he studied electrophysio
 logy and neuroimmunology under Drs. Giamal Luheshi and Sylvain Williams at
  what is now the Douglas Institute. Staying at the Douglas\, he started wo
 rk as a technician with Dr. Michael Meaney which developed into a Ph.D. pr
 oject. Ian’s doctoral work centred around the mechanisms by which early li
 fe environment affects gene expression throughout life. Ian was an active 
 member of the student community at the Douglas\, and helped to spearhead m
 any student initiatives during his tenure there.Months before defending in
  2011\, Ian began a job search that eventually led him to a position as a 
 Medical Writer at IC Axon\, a local Montreal business. Their teams work wi

 e underlying science of disease states and drug actions\, clinical trial d
