Dr. Alan Gittis, professor and chair of psychology at ¾¨Ó㴫ý, published an invited editorial in the Journal of Undergraduate Neuroscience Education.
 The editorial, "Developing Graduate-Undergraduate Neuroscience Connections," discusses the idea of providing a two-year residency at liberal arts schools for new Ph.D.'s in neuroscience.
 "We have an ample supply of undergraduate sites that can provide exemplary training experiences, a substantial cohort of talented neuroscience trainees who would be interested in these experiences, and members of the graduate training faculty who recognized the need for such a program." wrote Gittis. "There are a multitude of interested neuroscientists out there and they are begging for ways to find connections between neuroscience graduate professional training and neuroscience undergraduate education."
 Gittis, who has been with ¾¨Ó㴫ý since 1976, earned his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University and serves on the executive board and is a former president of the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience.
