I start my M.Sc. in neuroscience in about a month's time. The recommended text is Principles of Neural Science, by Kandel, Schwartz and Jessel. It's a great book that I'll get round to buying one day, but, because I'm on a limited budget, I'll have to make do with the abridged version…
In this country, as in much of the Western world, we are constantly bemoaning slipping scores in math and science. So here's a bit of good news: The first 26 science teachers to participate in the Rothschild-Weizmann Program for Excellence in Science Teaching will be receiving their degrees in…
I returned to UCL today, after spending the first week of the new term writing my second piece of coursework for the M.Sc., a 2,000-word essay about AMPA receptor recomposition in synaptic plasticity, which I'll post on here soon.
The third block began today with a lecture on nociception (pain),…
I've decided to do a new round of profiles in the Project for Non-Academic Science (acronym deliberately chosen to coincide with a journal), as a way of getting a little more information out there to students studying in STEM fields who will likely end up with jobs off the "standard" academic…
Good luck, man. I went back to university at nearly 40 to take a masters' in software engineering. It was an amazing self-confidence boost to discover that my brain was still flexible and functional fifteen years after completing my PhD. I'd recommend it to anyone.
I wish you the best.
Ah cool...best of luck.
I just started playing around with neuroConstruct, a 3D neural modeling tool, and I noticed it was developed at UCL.
So do you have any idea what you'll be focusing on?
I'm doing the course part-time over two years, so I won't be starting my research until September '08.
Good luck

I would wish you luck, Mo, but I don't think you really need it. Based on what you've written on this blog, if anyone is intelligent enough to complete this course of study with great success, it is you!
Congratulations and good luck with your studies.
My husband was a little bit younger when he decided to go back to school. He was a drop out, now he's the educating one :D
I enjoy reading your entries.
