ISHN Monthly Seminars (Online)
In December 16th, 2020 we started a monthly Online Seminar with one presentation, followed by Q & A.
ISHN-members will receive invitations via the ISHN listserv. Guests are welcome with an introduction of an ISHN member (and sending a message to pkoehlerATneurohistory.nl)
Persons who missed the presentation and would like to see it may send an email to pkoehlerATneurohistory.nl to receive the recording.
