This episode is a panel discussion recorded as the conclusion of a two part series showcasing Present & Future Frameworks in Theoretical Neuroscience, an international workshop hosted by Horacio Rotstein (NJIT) & Fidel Santamaria (UTSA) through support of NSF\u2019s Brain Initiative (see episode 194 for Part I).  Part II is a round table with a new group that recaps the themes of the workshop and reports on the main themes of the discussions that occurred in each of the five workgroups.  Many trainees were involved in the workshop, and two of them join the panel to highlight the value and necessity of fresh voices to any discussion about the future of theoretical neuroscience.  Workshop co-organizer Fidel Santamaria leads the panel.
