PInECoNe, PrION possible names for new institute

Plans for a new neuroscience institute at the University are well underway, and among the tasks remaining is a rather obvious one: naming it.

At 10:37 p.m. Monday, voting on possible names had begun and members of the University's neuroscience community — including professors, students and staff — had a job to do.

An email from molecular biology professor Sam Wang, who coordinated the effort, offered voters a choice of 27 possible names.

The top seven vote-getting names will be submitted to Nassau Hall, where administrators will make a final decision.

Will it be "PIBraDy" or "PINeCoCo"? Campus will have to wait and see.
