Annual
Neurosciences at Storrs Meeting
The Neurosciences at Storrs Meeting, which
has occurred annually since 1996, provides students with the opportunity
to meet with and discuss their research with all of the other faculty,
postdocs and students doing neuroscience research. Each year, the meeting
has been attended by well over 100 participants, which include not only
members of the Storrs community but visitors from area pharmaceutical companies
and nearby Universities and Colleges. At this informal gathering, Storrs
neuroscientists present their research in poster format while simultaneously
socializing over a catered buffet dinner. The meeting culminates each year
with a research presentation by a keynote speaker chosen for his/her renowned
research in an area that interests the broad range of neuroscientists at
Storrs.
