SfN 2015: Preparing for the annual Neuroscience Bonanza!

On Saturday, more than 30,000 neuroscientists will travel from all over the world to attend the 45^th annual Society for Neuroscience (SfN) meeting in Chicago, IL. SfN is always incredibly exciting. It will be busy – the rate at which neuroscience ideas and findings will be flowing will tax the capacity of our own neural networks! At Neuroscience 2015, investigators will present emerging science, learn from experts, forge collaborations, explore new tools and technologies, and advance careers. Most notable for me are the energetic and innovative discussions with students and young investigators. The 96-page program is jam packed with lectures, symposia, workshops, socials and satellite events that will take place from October 17^th-21^st at the McCormick Place Convention Center.  

This year, NINDS is thrilled to co-sponsor two satellite events at SfN: How Can Understanding Protein Structure Help Us Unravel the Mysteries of Neurodegenerative Disease on Sunday evening and The BRAIN Initiative in 2015: Updates and Outreach town hall and reception on Tuesday evening. We hope these events will draw both established and early-career investigators. ...    More Message »
