Supported by the generosity of the Killam Trusts, The Neuro's Killam Seminar Series invites outstanding guest speakers whose research is of interest to the scientific community at The Neuro and McGill University.
Seminars are held virtually on Tuesday afternoons at 4:00 pm. In the spirit of The Neuro designation as an Open Science Institute some lecturers have agreed to have their lectures live-streamed on The Neuro Vimeo channel.
