On Oct 24th, Prof Lu Chen and Prof Thomas Sudhof, Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine (2013), joined us and gave a talk titled “Challenges in Neuroscience in the 21st century”. They briefly introduced their neuroscience research and their personal journeys while conducting this pioneering research. The talk was very insightful and inspirational. There were over 80 people in attendance, including a few teenagers who were actively asking questions. William Newsome, the director of the Stanford Neurosciences Institute also came for the talk and presented the vision of the institute’s future which was very well received by the audience.
