YND 2008 Programme Details
Take Note - the format has changed! There is a new format for this years Young Neuroscientists' Day 2008!
You will still have the opportunity to view ~150 posters through the day and listen to between 3-5 themed presentations; we are also delighted that Dr Sarah-Jayne Blakemore (UCL) will provide our plenary lecture, and Dr Emma Robinson (Bristol University) will be our guest speaker....but very excitingly this year we have included 10 MINI-SYMPOSIUM to our programme, each consisting of 3 presentations that will be provided by YOU (chosen from abstract submissions)!
Regardless of experience, we are actively encouraging Post-docs and PhD students to take this opportunity to present their work (either through oral or poster presentations) in a non-threatening, very friendly environment!
Josie Grindulis will also be available from 10.50am for careers advise at the Career Development Stand in the main exhibition hall.
