BNAT Research Workshop
Department of Physiology and Biophysics
BNAT (Basic Neuroscience Advanced Training) Program
University of Colorado School of Medicine

Background: In 1993 Bob Martin retired from the Chair of Physiology, which he first assumed in 1970. The Department and Medical School sponsored a one day Symposium in his honor. That evening, a gala banquet was held, and the creation of the A. R. Martin Lectureship in physiology was announced. In addition, Bob's scientific publications have be reprinted and bound into a book, The of A.R. Martin. Besides bringing together all 550 pages of his scientific publications, the book also includes a delightful autobiographical sketch.

A.R. Martin Lecturers are invited to give two talks, one - The A.R. Martin Lecture - of broad scope, adapted for a wide scientific audience, and the other suited for a more specialized audience. Martin Lecturers also meet with the faculty and students, and attend a symposium featuring presentations by advanced graduate students and postdoc trainees in the BNAT training program. (BNAT stands for "Basic Neuroscience Advanced Training")
