VIRTUAL FALL MINI SYMPOSIUM
Friday, Oct 15, 2021
Join us October 15, 2021 from 1:00 – 5:00 PM for an exhibition of the University of Georgia’s Neuroscience Program. This half-day event will be held entirely online and will feature our native research community’s current work. Registered guests can listen to talks on a range of topics––from basic science to clinical research. The day’s events will conclude with a poster session showcasing graduate student work. The conference is open to all members of the UGA community and the public. Zoom details will be distributed closer the conference date.
The cost of attendance is free. However, donations are accepted on behalf of the Angel Pittman Student Memorial Fund.
To recognise the efforts of our research community, we are accepting nomination for the best poster and best Flash Talk. Please be sure to nominate your favourite after you take part in the day’s events.
