Mentoring and networking are important for success in science. In Neuroscience 2015, experienced neuroscientists will be on hand to offer mentoring on various topics at round-table over beverages and refreshments. With support from the Japan Neuroscience Society, the committee provides this opportunity to promote "Gender Equality" on this occasion as well as free refreshments to enjoy a talk more.

First, we are given the example case of a senior researcher as a role model, after that we are divided into a small group with a committee member to discuss the matter(s).

We invite a lecture, Hideaki Takeuchi, associate professor at Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology Okayama University.

"About ten years have passed since we got married. For more than half of our married life we've been living separately, because we place priority on our research career. Usually my weekends are spent with my family, nurturing our 4-year-old daughter. I would like to talk about my mindset of the way we make work and family balance. "

Tentative topics include gwork-life balanceh, gsecuring grantsh, gstudying and doing a postdoc abroadh, ghow to get an independent academic positionh, gdual-career couple issueh, gfixed-term positionsh, gforeign researchers working in Japanh, etc. If you have another topic to discuss, we will put it on the agenda.
