In December 2017 the lab helped organise and run the IBRO-UCT African Advanced School on Techniques in Neuroscience. The school was also supported by the Newton Fund. Many of the techniques established in the lab: whole-cell patch-clamp, interface local field potential recordings and Ca2+ imaging featured as part of the school.  The full school report can be found here.
