Dear Neuroscientists,
The Canadian Association for Neuroscience (CAN) will be holding its 5th Annual Meeting May 29 to June 1 at the Québec City Convention Centre. While there are many options for our travel dollars, the CAN meeting has proven to be a useful conference of manageable size that brings together the best Canadian Neuroscientists. The meeting chair this year is Dr. Yves De Koninck and he has put together a very good program (www.canmeeting.ca).
I encourage as many Manitobans as possible to attend this meeting. Several of us have been making an effort to showcase neuroscience in our province at this meeting since the first one but we need to do more.
STUDENT TRAVEL FUNDS AVAILABLE:
The CAN Secretary has informed me that significant travel funds are available for trainees (students and postdoctoral fellows) to travel to the 2011 CAN meeting provided local matching funds are available. Stakeholder academic departments and research institutes are committed to finding matching funds for trainees wishing to capitalize on this opportunity.
If you are a student or postdoctoral fellow and would like to attend the CAN meeting, please advise myself (canderson@sbrc.ca) or Dr. Paul Fernyhough (pfernyhough@sbrc.ca) as soon as possible.
Thank you.
