South East Nerve Net Conference

这项提议有助于支持一年一度的东南神经网络会议(SENN)。的主要目标 这次会议的目的是：1.为学生提供一个向整个神经科学家展示他们的工作的场所 该地区。2.推动比较系统神经生物学研究和神经基础研究 行为。3.扩大妇女和历史上代表性不足的群体的参与。这个 会议为学生提供了一个有吸引力的演讲场所。对于大多数学生来说，这是第一次 在科学会议上发言的机会。我们的目标是为学生保留友好的格式，同时 这将是一次足够大的会议，让他们有机会接触到自己机构以外的科学家。 会议的形式通常是在周五晚上有一位当地的主旨演讲者，并举行欢迎仪式 接待处。周六有一整天的学生和博士后的简短演讲，然后是另一场演讲 主题演讲。晚上到处都是海报和晚餐。公式根据具体情况而不同 会场。加强会议的计划包括：学术生存技能讲习班、公众宣传 课程，以及面向本科生的小型面试。将作出具体努力，通过以下方式增加参与度 并强调他们在研究方面的成就。将向以下人员提供旅行奖学金 增加学生会议的可达性。会议地点在亚特兰大和两个城市之间轮换。 佛罗里达州的网站：惠特尼实验室和佛罗里达州立大学。这次会议是由 国际神经行为学学会和当地主办机构。亚特兰大的位置是大部分地区的中心。 东南部。佛罗里达州的遗址代表了这次会议的历史选区。东南部 神经网络通过将学生介绍给来自 横跨美国东南部。

This proposal helps support the annual South East Nerve Net Conference (SENN). The primary goals of this conference are to: 1. Provide a venue for students to present their work to neuroscientists throughout the region. 2. Promote comparative systems neurobiology research and research on the neural basis of behavior. 3. Expand the participation of women and historically under-represented groups of people. The meeting provides an attractive venue for students to give presentations. For most students, this is the first opportunity to speak at a scientific meeting. Our aim is to preserve the friendly format for students while making this a large enough meeting to give them exposure to scientists outside of their own institutions. The format of the meeting is generally to have a local keynote speaker on Friday evening with a welcome reception. On Saturday there is a full day of short talks by students and post-docs, followed by another keynote talk. The evening is filled with posters and dinner. The formula is varied depending upon the venue. Plans for enhancements to the meeting include: academicsurvival skills workshops, public outreach programs, and mini-interviews for undergraduates. Specific efforts will be made to increase participation by under-represented groups and to highlight their research successes. Travel fellowships will be provided to students to increase the accessibility of the meeting. The meeting venue rotates between Atlanta and two sites in Florida: the Whitney Laboratory and Florida State University. The meeting is co-sponsored by the International Society for Neuroethology and local host Institutions. The Atlanta location is central to most of the South East. The Florida sites represent the historical constituency of this meeting. The South East Nerve Net aids in training students for careers in neuroscience by introducing them to researchers from across the Southeastern United States.
