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、博士后科学家和教职员工在一个密集的周末进行互动。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，这是一个杰出的生物研究机构，提供了一个非正式的环境。这些介绍强调尚未在国家或国际重大会议上介绍其工作的青年科学家的参与。这个奖项帮助支付参与者的费用，以鼓励少数代表不足的群体的本科生以演讲或海报的形式展示他们的作品。参加这次会议将允许一些优秀的本科生从他们的同龄人和导师那里获得对他们的职业发展至关重要的经验和信息。

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.
