Lectures: Center for Cultural Studies of Science, Technology, and Medicine (UCLA: Los Angeles, California, Winter 2001)
Forwarded to HISTNEUR-L from UCLA's Department of History listserv. All events are on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles, California. See <http://www.ucla.edu> for a map and directions to the campus. If you are coming to one of these lectures, you might also consider arriving early in order to visit the Neuroscience History Archives and the UCLA Biomedical Library (email or call to make sure someone will be available to meet with you, though!), and/or staying a little late for "happy hour" in Westwood Village, next to campus.
