Eating, Overeating, and Obesity
Chair: Scientia Professor Fred Westbrook (School of Psychology) – Chairperson.
Brain Sciences UNSW Colloquia are held on a bi-monthly basis. The colloquia reflect the inter-disciplinary nature and cross-faculty interest of Brain Sciences UNSW.
A colloquium typically consists of brief presentations from 3 speakers on a current theme of interest to brain sciences researchers. This is followed by a combined questions + answers session. An opportunity for further discussion is presented over drinks + nibbles afterwards. All are welcome.
