For Faculty and Staff
James E. Zull, professor of biology and author of The Art of Changing the Brain, concludes his series on the human brain on Tuesday, August 4, with "Brain Research and Memory." The series focuses on the fact that the mind is the creation of the physical brain and hence any changes in our ways of thinking must correspond, in some way, to actual physical changes in the brain. The session will meet at noon in the Herrick Room, located in the Allen Memorial Library Building. Sponsored by the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education (UCITE). Pizza and sodas will be provided. RSVP to UCITE by e-mail at ucite@case.edu.
