I truly cannot recommend this enough!

For me, NSAS 2024 marked a turning point - before San Servolo..and after 🤩

It’s experience unlike any other, something you simply won’t find anywhere else. I promise.🤗🦠🧠
The Neuroscience School of Advanced Studies on "Microbiota Regulation of Brain Function and Disease" will take place next May in wonderful Venice.

Limited places, they always fill fast.. All levels welcome from PhD student to Full Professor #NSASMicrobiota2026
