Meeting: 2016 Neurobiology of Stress Workshop, Irvine California, April 12-15, 2016

这个为期四天的压力神经生物学研讨会的目标是汇集来自不同学科和所有专业水平（本科生到教授）的研究人员，分享和讨论压力研究神经生物学的最新进展，促进跨学科思想的深入交流，促进压力研究人员之间的社区，并培养学员和初级教师参与者的专业发展。这个研讨会，这发生在纽波特海滩，加利福尼亚州，是一年两次的研讨会系列，提供了唯一的小型论坛集中在神经生物学的压力第四。该奖项提供支持初级教师，学员和高中科学教师参加这个研讨会。 研讨会的智力价值来自其相对较小的规模，这促进了参与者之间的互动和广泛的思想交流，压力领域的顶级神经科学家的集会，以及全体会议主题的多学科性质。由于发言者中有很大一部分是妇女，约一半的与会者是受训人员，包括通过少数民族科学家网络招聘的受训人员，该讲习班接触到在科学领域代表性不足的群体，并为他们提供机会。 当地科学高中教师参加这次研讨会，在课堂上传播见解。 本次研讨会的主题范围从表观遗传学和压力的压力进化的角度来看，压力，并纳入分子生物学，遗传学，微生物，成像和系统生物学的最新进展。 这一形式包括5次全体会议，每次会议有4名发言者; 2次圆桌会议，其中一次专门用于在小型非正式小组中指导受训人员;海报会议（仅限受训人员主讲人）;以及一次主旨演讲。研讨会参与者将被邀请贡献手稿报告与研讨会主题相关的研究结果，以开放获取期刊压力神经生物学。 这次研讨会的更广泛的影响包括扩大参与，广泛的机会，跨专业水平的交流，并向当地学校的公众宣传。 这些方面，结合研讨会的中心目标，即交流和推进压力研究中有前途的新思想，构成了更大的压力神经生物学社区的长期利益。

The goals of this four-day workshop on the Neurobiology of Stress are to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines and at all professional levels (undergraduate student to full professor) to share and discuss recent advances in the neurobiology of stress research, promote intensive exchange of ideas across disciplines, foster community among stress researchers, and nurture professional development for trainees and junior faculty participants. This workshop, which takes place in Newport Beach, CA, is the 4th of a biannual workshop series that offers the only small forum focused on the neurobiology of stress. The award provides support to junior faculty, trainees, and high school science teachers to attend this workshop. The intellectual merit of the workshop derives from its relatively small size, which promotes interactions and extensive exchange of ideas among participants, the assembly of top neuroscientists in the field of stress, and the multidisciplinary nature of the plenary session topics. With a substantial fraction of the speakers being women and about half of the participants being trainees, including trainees recruited through national minority scientist networks, this workshop reaches out to and offers opportunities for groups underrepresented in science. The inclusion of local science high school teachers in this workshop seeds dissemination of insights in classrooms. The topics of this workshop on the Neurobiology of Stress range from epigenetics and stress to evolutionary perspectives on stress, and incorporate recent advances in molecular biology, genetics, microbiotics, imaging, and systems biology. The format entails 5 plenary sessions with 4 speakers each; 2 roundtable sessions, one of which is dedicated to mentoring of trainees in small informal groups; poster sessions (trainee presenters only); and one keynote lecture. Workshop participants will be invited to contribute manuscripts reporting findings related to workshop topics to the open access journal Neurobiology of Stress. The broader impacts of this workshop include broadening participation, extensive opportunity for exchange across professional levels, and public outreach to the local schools. These aspects, combined with the workshop's central goal of exchanging and advancing promising new ideas in stress research, constitute long-term benefits for the larger stress neurobiology community.
