CRANI Sessions

CRANI sessions differ from the traditional departmental lecture. They are intended to be interactive and informal sessions that encourage collaboration, discussion, and the exchange of ideas. They are more similar to lab meetings, with the “lab” being a unique network of faculty and trainees across departments and primary disciplines. We thus refer to CRANI meetings as sessions, rather than lectures. 

Accordingly, CRANI speakers are encouraged to plan their sessions and topics with an interactive component and avoid lengthy lecture presentations of published data. Talks should generally include about 20-30 minutes of data/idea presentation with the remainder of time for discussion. Topics should focus on new ideas or works in progress that provoke discussion or would benefit from collegial feedback. These might include new research directions, recent results, grant ideas, or presentation of new techniques, new faculty interests, or collaboration opportunities. Sessions are also appropriate for rehearsals of talks and posters, e.g. for upcoming national meetings, and can be led by either faculty or trainee speakers.

Most of all, CRANI sessions are meant to be fun and engaging – a unique opportunity in our academic schedules to enjoy and explore the science of acute brain injury.
