Neuropursuit
Championship
Following a long and distinguished history (celebrating
its 25th Anniversary in 2011), the Centre for Neuroscience is
proud to sponsor the Neuropursuit Championship! Under the
auspices of Grand Quizmaster Ian Gibbins (with more than a passing
nod to "Good
News Week"),
two teams vie for the coveted (and extremely elaborate) Neuropursuit
Trophy, thus demonstrating to all neuroscientists, far and wide,
that they have more obscure neuro-facts packed into their cerebrums
than any other beings on the planet (sentient or otherwise!).
The Neuropursuit Championship is held every year
following the CNS Annual General Meeting
and in 2010 congratulations
went to both Teams, when a draw was declared!
