FAQ
What is the price?
Please see Ticket Information.
Why does it cost to attend the public lectures?
Our neuroscience lecture series has grown! More people have wanted to attend our lectures as we have been able to accommodate at OHSU. Additionally, we took feedback from the 2006 season and moved to a more suitable location, the Newmark Theater. The Newmark Theater offers, comfortable individual seating, state of the art audio/visual capabilities and is 100% ADA compliant. Our ticket price reflects our need to cover the costs to bring this series to a larger number of people in the best venue possible.
