Toxic and Essential Trace Elements in Brain Development: June 24-28, 2000; West Palm Beach, FL

0084515 golub本提案寻求支持将在神经行为畸形学会会议上举行的关于大脑发育中有毒和必需微量元素的研讨会。研讨会的重点是关于微量元素缺乏和过量对大脑发育的损害的研究。它的独特之处在于，它将研究微量元素作为毒物的科学家和研究微量元素作为必需元素的科学家聚集在一起，交换有关大脑发育的信息和研究观点。研讨会的参加者各不相同。三位组织者中有一位是女性，四位研讨会参与者中有两位是女性。此外，还有一个外国捐助国（加拿大）。研讨会还为处于职业生涯早期的科学家提供了机会，因为其中两位参与者是来自该领域有活跃项目的研究小组的年轻科学家。

0084515GolubThis proposal seeks support for a symposium on Toxic and Essential Trace Elements in Brain Development to be held at the Neurobehaviora Teratology Society meeting. The symposium focuses on research concerning damage to brain development caused by both deficiencies and excesses of trace elements. It is unique in that it brings together scientists who study trace elements as toxicants and those who study trace elements as essential elements for an exchange of information and research perspectives concerning brain development. The symposium includes a diversity of participants. One of the 3 organizers is a woman as are two of the four symposium participants. In addition, there is one foreign contributor (Canada). The symposium also presents opportunity for scientists early in their careers, in that two of the participants are young scientists from research groups with active programs in this area.
