The following workshop will be offered at Neuroscience 2008 in Washington DC. Look who is speaking at the bottom of the speakers list (Wendell Primus, PhD Senior Policy Advisor for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ). Just a heads up if anyone can get inside with a camera and ask him if he is going to spend any science funding on a new investigation into the events of 9/11.
