[Neurobureau-info] Happy Holidays from The Neuro Bureau! - and a little bit about the art exhibition

[Franco, Alexandre R]

First of all, happy holiday's for everyone as well. 

That's unfortunate the the young research award is being postponed. But there's probably for a good reason. 

As for the artists, is there a way to get something more formal about the art exhibition? I'm going to be heading down to Brazil for the holidays and will be meeting with some artistic friends. I just want to be able to pitch a  concrete idea to them. If not, we can also finalize our ideas in the next meeting and I'll just throw out some ideas when I'm down there. 

The 17th is MLK day and I don't know if everyone will be available. But I can make it to the meeting anytime after 11AM (EST). 

Cheers,
Alex
