This conference of the recently formed Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology is one of an annual series. The relatively small meeting is strongly interdisciplinary, with approaches ranging from molecular biology in the lab to behavior in natural environments. This scope gives an integrated view of the field of behavioral neuroendocrinology, and the hormonal mechanisms that regulate behavior. The small size promotes interactions between attendees, fostering active discussions about research outside the formal talks. About a third of the 600 SBN members are student members, so there is substantial impact of this annual conference on advancing the field by promoting interactions among young investigators. This year is the first meeting in the West, to help balance regional representation, and it includes a new initiative to publish student abstracts and to get the best student posters into manuscripts for publication in a major journal. A special panel on 'Balancing Career and Family: Not for Women Only' also will discuss issues important to young investigators. The promotion of students to attend this conference will have a substantial impact on their careers by exposing them to the latest discoveries and approaches, and making more senior investigators aware of their individual research.

最近成立的行为神经内分泌学会的这次会议是年度系列会议之一。这个相对较小的会议是跨学科的，涉及的方法从实验室的分子生物学到自然环境中的行为。这个范围给出了行为神经内分泌学领域的综合观点，以及调节行为的激素机制。较小的规模促进了与会者之间的互动，促进了正式会谈之外关于研究的积极讨论。600名SBN成员中约有三分之一是学生成员，因此，通过促进年轻研究者之间的互动，这次年度会议对推进该领域有重大影响。今年是第一次在西方召开会议，以帮助平衡地区代表性，会议还包括一项新的倡议，即发表学生摘要，并将最好的学生海报制成手稿，以便在主要期刊上发表。一个名为“平衡事业和家庭：不只为女性”的特别小组也将讨论对年轻研究者重要的问题。促进学生参加本次会议将对他们的职业生涯产生重大影响，使他们接触到最新的发现和方法，并使更多的高级研究者意识到他们的个人研究。
