Four University of Maryland neuroscientists supported by the NIH Training Grant for the Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing attended an international course on Acoustic Communications this summer at the University of Southern Denmark in the Graduate School on Sense Organs, Nerve Systems, Behaviour, and Communication.

Dr. Arthur N. Popper, Professor of Biology and Dr. Robert J. Dooling, Professor of Psychology and Affiliate Professor of Biology, were among the organizing group for this course which was attended by 30 students from around the world.
