This is to remind you that
the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience will be holding its annual poster
session on Wednesday, November 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM in conjunction with our
Special Interest Social. As has been the tradition, posters with undergraduate
co-authors that have been presented at the Society's meeting can be
"re-presented" at the social.
This permits undergraduate students who have worked on these projects to
assume center stage in the role of a conference presenter.
In addition, on an
experimental basis, FUN will also be accepting posters with undergraduate
authors that for a variety of reasons(e.g., the Society's restriction on number
of papers submitted from a laboratory) are not being presented at the primary
sessions. Posters submitted in this
category will be accepted on a space-available basis and be evaluated on
scientific merit prior to acceptance for presentation.
For those of you who have
not participated in this event in the past, the social is an excellent
opportunity for undergraduates to meet peers, faculty and to make contacts that
might prove valuable for graduate school.
We encourage representatives from graduate programs to attend this event
and get to meet some of the participating undergraduates.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
For posters that have been
presented at the conference, please submit a copy of the abstract that appears
in the SN abstracts with the names of the undergraduate presenters
circled.
For posters that ONLY will
be presented at the social, please send to me an abstract prepared in
the format used for SN abstracts. In addition,
please send a letter of endorsement from a sponsor who needs to be a member of
the Society for Neuroscience. If such person is not presently a member of FUN
they can expect an application for membership in the return mail!!
Deadline for receipt is
September 29, 2000
All materials should be
sent to the address found at the bottom of this message.
Additional Reminder:
The deadline for the FUN
travel award is rapidly approaching.

See you in New Orleans
