GNDP is hosting a monthly reading group on spatial transcriptomics this semester. The goal is to learn about this new technology, with a focus on how it can be applied to address new questions in brain and behavior. We will meet in person every third Tuesday of the month at 4:00 p.m. Central in 612 IGB. Please contact Jess Quicksall (jessicaq@illinois.edu) if you would like to be adding to the email list.
