Dear All,

This is a reminder that the Manitoba Neuroscience Network (MNN) is holding its 7th Scientific Meeting June 16 at the Radisson Winnipeg. The 2017 meeting is chaired by Dr. Tabrez Siddiqui and he has assembled a stellar program that includes a featured lecture by one of leaders of the field of neural connectomics, Dr. Jeff Lichtman from Harvard University.

Abstract submission and registration have been open for a couple of weeks. This year there have been several events that may interfere with timely abstract submission and we are seeing numbers that are lower than normal for this stage of the process. We are therefore EXTENDING the abstract deadline once more to MONDAY MAY 29 @ 5 pm. No further extensions will be possible after that because we will need to prepare the programs. As an extra incentive to submit, all trainee posters will be judged and there are several cash poster awards available.

All MNN meeting attendees, including poster presenters, will need to register. The registration deadline is JUNE 5 @ 5 pm. Rates include coffee/snacks, full lunch and an afternoon reception with food. SFN Winnpeg Chapter members pay rates that are discounted by 50% so please become a member for 2017 before you register. PI's, you can purchase a membership for all of your lab members for one price, allowing each person to register for the MNN meeting as an SFN Chapter member.
