KARACHI: One hundred and fifty neuroscientists, physiologists and clinical neurologists participated in first ever symposium of Women Neuroscientists in Pakistan on Thursday. The symposium was jointly organized by Dr. Panjwani Center for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research (PCMD) and Women in World Neuroscience (WWN).
The symposium was also a venue of launching of the Women Neuroscientists network in Pakistan.
In the opening session of the two-day conference, Karachi University’s Vice Chancellor, Prof Dr. Pirzada Qasim said that women can understand science better because they have more patience and consistency in the laboratories.
Speaking to Dawn.com, he said that only knowledge-based organization could survive in long run.
Referring to the progress of science and technology, Qasim said that, “our institutes have turned into graveyards of unfinished agendas. We have to finish the proposals with consistency.”
“Universities are facing financial problems and relying on loans and are currently unable to generate resources,” he added.
