The Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN) is fairly young (founded 1995), and expects attendance of around 300 at this sixth Annual Meeting. The SBN, in its meetings and its journal (Hormones & Behavior) uniquely emphasizes multidisciplinary integration of cellular and molecular concepts into a functional framework involving the brain, behavior, development, evolution and the ecology of social behavior. This concentration linking hormones to many areas of behavior, including both field and laboratory approaches, makes this focal meeting different from other meetings in the field. The conference organizers are highly regarded and experienced, the topics are timely, and in addition to scientific talks there are particular sessions planned for students and trainees on 'survival skills', 'meet-the-professor' lunches, 'alternative careers' and poster sessions with awards expanded to include undergraduate work. Dissemination of the conference findings will be through a special supplemental issue of Hormones & Behavior. The SBN meetings strongly emphasize bringing in students (graduate and undergraduate, representing 1/3 of the total membership) and postdocs for interdisciplinary interactions with established investigators. The potential impact of this conference is high in the fields of neuroendocrinology and behavioral neuroscience, because of the focused discussions shaping future work, the potential to develop new cross-disciplinary collaborations, and the likely interactions and introductions essential to career development of young investigators. Funding from NSF is important to help students, postdocs, and young researchers attend, and for some career development workshop speakers who are not currently society members.

行为神经内分泌学会(SBN)还很年轻(成立于1995年)，预计将有大约300人参加这次第六届年会。SBN在其会议和期刊(荷尔蒙与行为)中，独特地强调将细胞和分子概念整合到一个涉及大脑、行为、发育、进化和社会行为生态的功能框架中。这种将荷尔蒙与许多行为领域联系在一起的浓度，包括现场和实验室方法，使这次焦点会议不同于现场的其他会议。会议组织者备受推崇，经验丰富，话题适时，除了科学演讲外，还计划为学生和实习生举办专门的会议，内容包括“生存技能”、“与教授见面”午餐、“另类职业”，以及将奖励扩大到包括本科生工作的海报会议。会议成果的传播将通过荷尔蒙与行为的特别补充问题。SBN会议强烈强调引入学生(研究生和本科生，占总成员的三分之一)和博士后，与现有研究人员进行跨学科互动。这次会议在神经内分泌学和行为神经科学领域的潜在影响很高，因为有重点的讨论塑造了未来的工作，发展新的跨学科合作的潜力，以及可能的互动和介绍，对年轻研究人员的职业发展至关重要。来自国家科学基金会的资金对于帮助学生、博士后和年轻研究人员参加，以及对一些目前不是学会成员的职业发展研讨会的演讲者来说很重要。
