CONFERENCE: UNDERGRADUATE PARTICIPATION IN THE EAST COAST NERVE NET (WOODS HOLE, MA) APRIL 8-10, 1997

东海岸神经网络是一个小型会议，鼓励研究生，博士后科学家和教师之间的互动在一个密集的周末。 会议利用了位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的海洋生物实验室的设施，该实验室是一个杰出的生物研究机构，提供了一个非正式的环境。 演讲强调尚未在重大国家或国际会议上展示其工作的年轻科学家的参与。 该奖项有助于支付参与者的费用，以鼓励少数代表性不足的群体的本科生以演讲或海报的形式展示他们的工作。 这次会议的参与将使一些优秀的本科生获得经验和信息，从他们的同龄人和导师，这将是他们的职业发展的重要。

The East Coast Nerve Net is a small conference that encourages interaction among graduate students, post-doctoral scientists and faculty in an intensive weekend. The conference utilizes the facilities of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, an outstanding institution for biological research, which provides an informal setting. The presentations emphasize participation by young scientists who have not yet presented their work at major national or international meetings. This award helps defray participant costs to encourage a few undergraduate students of under-represented groups to present their work in talk or poster form. This conference participation will allow a few outstanding undergraduates to gain experience and information from their peers and mentors that will be important for their career development.
