Emory Faculty Featured in 'Life of the Mind' Lectures

Emory University presents "Life of the Mind," a lunchtime lecture series that showcases one of Emory's leading faculty members each month.

Dennis Choi, a neuroscientist renowned for his groundbreaking research on brain and spinal cord injury, is scheduled to speak in April.

Framed in a way that non-specialists can understand, "the 'Life of the Mind' lectures will span the totality of what happens intellectually at Emory," said Santa Ono, vice provost for academic initiatives and deputy to the provost. The free lectures will include time for discussion.
