Dear Neuroethologists,
There are still room available in the Gordon Research Conference on Neuroethology for more registrants. The conference will be held Aug 10-15 at Magdalen College at Oxford University. The full schedule and registration information is available at http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2008&program=neuroetho. There are opportunities for poster presentations and there slots set aside for three ad hoc presentations by attendees who are interested in giving a talk.
This conference is held only once every three years. Catherine Carr and I are the co-chairs this year. The co-vice chairs are Jochen Zeil and Susan Fahrbach. This meeting will be very discussion-based. The presentations are aimed toward specific questions. It will not be your typical research meeting. In particular, the last session of the meeting will be devoted to assessing the current state of Neuroethology.
Prior to the main Gordon Research Conference, on Aug 9th and 10th, there will be a unique pre-meeting for graduate students and post-docs called "Neuroethology 2050". This 2 day symposium is for young researchers to imagine what the field will be like in the year 2050. It is being organized by Zoe R. Donaldson, Emily Baird & Norbert Boeddeker. For more information, see: http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2008&program=grad_neuro
Please fill out the registration form soon because the meeting is filling up.
