Yes, We CANS

It was a meeting of scientific minds at Wednesday night’s launch of the 12th Annual Caribbean Neurosciences Symposium (CANS), held at the CRU Bar in Kingston. Set to take place from January 29 to February 2 at the Montego Bay Convention Centre, the symposium will be paired with a Heineken-sponsored Charity Golf Tournament to be held at the Ironshore Country and Golf Club on February 1st. We bring you highlights from the launch!
