The Annual Neuroscience Conference gives undergraduates, graduate, and postdoctoral fellows the chance to present research findings in a poster session, attend lectures and special panels, and meet other students and faculty interested in the neurosciences. 

We will be accepting posters and lightning presentations (5 min oral presentation contest). Poster presentations can be submitted for completed or in-progress research projects. Additionally, we are welcoming presentations that were presented at national meetings (e.g. Society for Neuroscience, ASPET, etc).
