How does the science you learn extend beyond the classroom?
The Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour and the McMaster Alumni Association invite you to Discover Psychology: Science You Can Use.
Unlike traditional colloquium, this special public lecture series is aimed at students, staff, faculty, alumni and all members of the public. The lectures feature dynamic McMaster University professors discussing fascinating and practical topics related to the field of psychology. Last year's series featured several “standing room only” lectures.
The talks take place on Friday afternoons in the Psychology Building (PC 155) with light refreshments available at 2:15 p.m. followed by the lecture from 2:30 to 3:20 p.m, and are free of charge. If you can't make it in person or miss a talk you can catch up at iTunes U. Following each talk you can also keep the conversation going on the posting board for comments, questions and discussion.
The fall 2010 schedule of events is below, and pre-registration is requested by clicking here. For more information about this program, please email alumni@mcmaster.ca or call extension 23900.
