Event Page

Join us for one of CSSA’s most traditional events where academia, socializing and food collide in a delicious pile of knowledge and friendship. (Those are the best piles.)

We’ll be taking out a few graduate students (Andrew Schork, Jamie, and, Rachel) in the cogsci department (stay tuned for the list!) to the Pub, and guess what, you’re invited! Space will be limited, so show up on time!

You don’t have to be 21 to enter the Pub. You do, however, need to be 21 to order alcohol. Just thought I’d make all that clear.

See you there!

Be sure to check us out on FB as well.

Hey Everyone. It’s time for our world famous bonfire… tomorrow at least.
Friday (10/21), 4:30-7:30pm

La Jolla Shores (:MAP)

Link to our FB Event Page: Event Page

We’ll have burgers, vegetarian options, games, new friends, and of course, the lovely faces of CSSA. (And the weather forecast, by the way, predicts afternoon sun.) You can also feel free to bring any balls, frisbees, or games that you’d like to play with.

Hope to see you there!

P.S.
The MTS’s 30 busline heading downtown/southboud also has a stop by La Jolla Shores.

The Journal of the History of the Neurosciences has some fascinating articles, including this one which gives us a glimpse into the correlation between moon, insanity, and epilepsy.

History of Neuroscience, hmm, if I change my degree to that surely I won’t need to take math classes.
