The Duke Department of Neurology holds its weekly Grand Rounds lecture on Wednesday mornings from 8:00am - 9:00am. Our lectures feature national experts from our department, across Duke and around the world to discuss treatment, management, diagnosis and the latest research on all areas of clinical neurology.

This week's lecture will be delivered by Diego Bohórquez, PhD from the Duke Department of Neurobiology on gut-brain interactions.

Lectures are delivered to an in-person audience in Duke North 2003 as well as virtually via Zoom.

Come join us in the fields to lose track of time, be outdoors, practice embodied work, and experience profound community with plants, soil, and humans! Our students, volunteers, and staff consistently say that their most memorable memories at DCF are the conversations they shared over a wheelbarrow of mulch or while tackling weeds in a bed of carrots together. Absolutely no farming experience is necessary, and there is no Duke affiliation required. We have tasks for most ages and abilities.

Talk title TBA.

Dr. Lang will explore how wearable sensing technologies are transforming neurorehabilitation by enabling personalized, data-driven approaches across the lifespan. This session will highlight innovations in movement science and their impact on clinical practice and research.

CEUs available for PTs and OTs. Snacks provided (while supplies last); please bring your own drink.

How can AI, Natural Language Processing, machine learning, and computational approaches advance research and education in the humanities and interpretive social sciences? how can humanistic methodologies inform and challenge applications of AI?

Health Assessment is a free, confidential health screening provided through Duke benefits. It includes total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, BMI, waist circumference height, weight and body mass index measurements. Additionally, there is a goal setting and referral session with a nurse, dietitian, or fitness specialist. Many participants find the coaching session helps them get started making lifestyle changes and connects them to LIVE FOR LIFE and community resources to support them. Health Assessments are available to all active Duke employees.
