Seminario Interno IFIBYNE

by Actividades IFIBYNE

Dentro del ciclo de Actividades virtuales IFIBYNE 2020, el viernes 25 de
septiembre a las 14:00 realizaremos la tercera presentación de la serie
de ”Seminarios Internos de jefes y jefas de grupo”.

En esta oportunidad el orador sera Joaquin Piriz quien hablara sobre “La Habenula
Lateral, el núcleo cerebral de la decepción”

La presentación se realizara en forma virtual solo para miembros del
IFIBYNE.
