DESCRIPTION:How does one become a successful\nneuroscientist?\nThis seminar
  series will address this question through a series\nof conversations with
  some of the most successful neuroscientists\nin the world: researchers wh
 o are affiliated with ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï’s\nIntegrated Program in Neuroscie
 nce (IPN).This is your chance to\ntalk to them about the circuitous pathwa
 ys and the important\, but\noften serendipitous\, connections that led the
 m to where they are\nnow.\nThe second session of the Pathways and Connecti
 ons series will\nfeature Dr. Ed Ruthazer and will be held at\nThomson Hous
 e (3650 McTavish\, room 403) starting at\n6:00 pm on Wednesday\, March 23r
 d.  Dr. Ruthazer has been an\nassistant professor at the Montreal Neurolog
 ical Institute for the\nlast 6 years\, where he is a Killam Fellow and hol
 ds the Canada\nResearch Chair in Neuronal Circuit Development. His lab use
 s in\nvivo imaging and electrophysiology to study how sensory experience\n
 controls circuit refinement in the visual system.\nBorn and raised in the 
 US\, Dr. Ruthazer did his doctoral studies\nin the laboratory of Michael S
 tryker at UCSF where he studied the\ndevelopment of orientation selectivit
 y in the mammalian visual\ncortex.  Tempted to image living neurons\, he b
 riefly worked as\nan NSF-JSPS International Research Fellow at Osaka Unive
 rsity in\nthe lab of Nobuhiko Yamamoto\, studying the growth of\ncorticoco
 rtical projections in organotypic cultures of visual\ncortex through a com
 bination of confocal imaging and multielectrode\narray recordings.  He the
 n returned to work as a postdoctoral\nfellow in the lab of Holly Cline at 
 Cold Spring Harbor Lab in New\nYork\, where he pioneered the use of multip
 hoton microscopy for in\nvivo imaging of retinotectal axon development in 
 the transparent\nXenopus laevis tadpole.  Dr. Ruthazer has\noptimistically
  applied for Canadian residency despite suffering the\nhandicap of not eve
 n knowing how to ice skate forwards.\nPlease RSVP to Zografos Caramanos (z
