Each Monday afternoon during the academic year, the Krasnow Institute hosts a seminar at 4:00 p.m. at which an invited guest speaker gives a presentation on a topic in the cognitive sciences. Presentations are finished by 5:00 p.m. and a discussion period follows. All are welcome.
All meetings will be held on the George Mason University Fairfax campus
in Lecture Room 229 of the Krasnow Institute building. This link provides
driving directions to the Krasnow Institute
building. Limited metered parking is available across Shenandoah River Lane ($.25/10 mins) or in either of the campus parking decks ($2.00/hour). For more information, leave a message in advance at (703)
993-4333.
Join the Krasnow Monday Seminar Disscussion group to further exchange ideas and information presented in Monday talks.
