It's about a mini-symposium called Low Cost Neuroscience for the Amateur, High School Student, Undergraduate, and Public, held on Saturday, November 12th.
Leading lights in optogenetics presented the latest developments in their field during a mini-symposium at the 40th annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego at the weekend.
As my friend likes to put it, "If their own fathers walked out, why would any other man want to walk in?" The second autism came up, the tone of the date shifted from fun and intrigue to a mini-symposium on the subject, with my date in the audience and me on the podium, not exactly conducive to romance.
The mini-symposium's focus and findings should be relevant to both on-going academic and policy debates.
This mini-symposium intends to provide stimulus for further research into city-level immigrant policies and crisis.
It provides a range of historical and contemporary examples and considerations, and introduces an empirical city case study that is published as part of this mini-symposium.
Some of the papers presented during the mini-symposium, as well as additional contributions from other researchers are collected in this special issue.
The mini-symposium showcases an empirical case study from the city of Turin, which is characterised by a distinct immigration history, minority population, approach to immigrant settlement and inclusion, and political, economic and social profile.
There may be a continuity of immigrant policy despite representations of crisis, as for instance this mini-symposium's empirical case study, located in Italy, shows (Caponio & Donatiello, 2017).
Studying the effects of crisis and representations of crisis on the policy area of immigrant incorporation is therefore urgently needed in contemporary migration scholarship, and this mini-symposium represents a step forward in this area.
A mini-symposium on Parallel Computing in Nonlinear Optimization was held in Naples, Italy, September 2001, during the International Conference ParCo2001, in order to bring together researchers active in this field and to discuss and share their findings.
