NeuroPrion Young Researchers Training


The 4th NeuroPrion Young Researchers training in scientific communication was held from Saturday, September 19, 2009 to Tuesday, September 22, 2009 in NIKITI – ELIA BEACH, Greece, just before the Prion2009 conference in a nearby location.
This training taught 30 PhD, or MD, postcoctoral students how to make a successful scientific presentation and how to communicate in front of a public audience, and also received training in responding to questions after such presentations. Moreover, two young researchers were selected to present their work in a plenary session of the Prion2009 conference.
