Please plan to spend an outstanding afternoon of Science in STEW this Thursday!

1st: The first event is the Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecture given by Dr. Karl Deisseroth (http://www.stanford.edu/group/dlab/).  Dr. Deisseroth is largely credited with the primary development of optogenetics (particularly in vertebrates), first published in Nature Neuroscience Methods in 2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optogenetics).  Recently (i.e. last week) his lab published outstanding work on CLARITY, a new tissue visualization technique (  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-NMfp13Uug, http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature12107.html).  His public lecture will be held on Thursday, April 18 from 1:30-3:00 PM in Fowler Hall in the Stewart Center.  The title of his talk is: “Optical deconstruction of fully‐assembled biological systems”.

2nd: There will be a reception for Dr. Deisseroth in the Robert L. Ringel Gallery in Stewart Center starting immediately after his talk (~2:30) and ending at 3:30.
