The conference, which involves students from ‘Berg and Drew University, features student presentations, alumni panels and a keynote address “Vice, Virtue and the Brain’s Pleasure Circuit,” by David J. Linden, Ph.D., of Johns Hopkins University.
This is the second annual gathering of its kind. The first conference was held at Drew University last winter.
The Sentience Foundation, a major donor to ‘Berg’s neuroscience program, founded the SUN initiative with the hope of establishing communication, sharing scientific information and engendering a passion for a science career among undergraduate students, while providing a means for these budding scientists and their respective faculties to meet, share information and generate excitement for the study of neuroscience.
