May 2011′s Alchemist Cafe
May 2011′s Alchemist Cafe
Michael Gill of Trinity College Dublin will be talking about the unexpected genetic links between Schizophrenia and Autism.
Schizophrenia and Autism are related disorders of brain development with many different causes. Recent genetic studies are showing that schizophrenia and autism are more closely related than might have been considered up to now. Both are disorders that can result from many different rare genetic mutations that disrupt the development of the brain and affect its basic cognitive functions. The implies that there are multiple forms of the disorder that share similar clinical symptoms much the same as intellectual disability has many origins but shares similar clinical characteristics. Surprisingly, some of the mutations seem to be the same in both conditions and are also found in other neurodevelopmental disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and epilepsy but how this might happen is not known. There are important clinical and ethical implications of this work that need to be considered in detail.
Date: Tuesday 10th May 2011
Location: The Mercantile, Dame St, Dublin 2
Time: 7:30pm (sharp)
Admission: Free-All Welcome!
Complimentary finger food will be provided
In association with CPL and Discover Science & Engineering

World Intellectual Property Day
William Fry solicitors are organising a briefing around World IP Day on the evening of May 4th next and are looking to attract graduates (or soon to be graduates) who have a particular interest in the area of intellectual property. It's ideally suited to people who are developing (or hoping to develop) something innovative as there will be a team of IP lawyers on hand to provide free advice. (I know lawyers and free in the same sentence, where's the catch? But, of course they're looking for potential new clients to work with).
If is interested contact the organisers.

You can mention Frank O'Reilly (a fellow student of yours) as a contact.
