[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The Forbes Lectureship is an integral part of the\u00a0Grass Fellowship Program. This Lectureship began in 1959 in honor of Alexander Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each year a high-profile scientist from outside the MBL community is invited by the Trustees of The Grass Foundation to present two lectures. The first, part of MBL’s Friday Evening Lecture Series<\/a>, takes place each year on the third Friday of July. The other is given the following Monday, in collaboration with the Neurobiology Course and the Neural Systems & Behavior Course. In addition, the scientist spends time in residence with the Grass Fellows, advising them on their projects and career paths.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1621741390722{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #f3f3f3 !important;}”][vc_column]
