Conference Symposium: Recent Developments in Neurobiology

我们将举办一个正在进行的年度研讨会，题为“神经生物学（RDN）的最新发展”，将在综合与比较生物学学会（SICB）的年会上发表。RDN专题讨论会采用了一种新颖的演讲形式——“背驮式”演讲，受邀实验室的负责人在60分钟的演讲中提供前25分钟的时间来讨论实验室研究的一般意义领域。接下来的25分钟由实验室的初级成员介绍，通常是高级研究生或博士后，他会提供有关实验室当前活动的具体信息。最后十分钟是一个常见的问答环节。研讨会的论文将发表在学会的期刊《综合与比较生物学》上。“背起”形式的目标之一是向正在培训的专业人员提供在专题讨论会上发言/参加国家会议方面的经验。另一个是向潜在雇主展示这些人和他们的工作。研讨会还寻求通过期刊论文向神经科学界提供一套最近印刷的评论论文。

We will conduct an ongoing annual symposium entitled, "Recent Developments in Neurobiology (RDN)," to be presented at the annual meetings of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB). The RDN symposia uses a novel form of presentation-"piggy-back" talks, in which the head of the invited laboratory provides the first twenty-five minutes of a sixty-minute talk to discuss the general area of significance of the laboratory's research. The next twenty-five minute block is presented by a junior member of the laboratory, usually an advanced graduate student or post-doc, who gives specific information about the laboratory's current activities. The final ten minutes are devoted to a common question/answer period. The symposium papers will be published in the Society's journal, Integrative and Comparative Biology.One of the goals of the "piggy-back" format is to provide experience to in-training members of the profession, in terms of symposium presentation/participation at a national meeting. Another is to expose these individuals, and their work, to potential employers. The symposium also seeks to provide a set of recent printed review papers to the Neuroscience community through the journal papers.
