The 2011 Neurobiology of
Drosophila meeting is now oversubscribed. Late registrants will be placed
on a waitlist - if currently registered individuals cancel we may be able
to accept waitlisted registrants into the meeting.
We are
pleased to announce the fourteeth biennial
Neurobiology of Drosophila
meeting, which will be held at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The
meeting will begin at 7.30pm on the evening of Monday, October 3, and will
conclude after lunch on Friday, October 7 (religious holiday observed
October 8).
The
goals of this conference are to provide a forum for the presentation of late
breaking advances in Drosophila neurobiology, to exchange ideas and
techniques, to stimulate future research and collaborations, and to
recognize and encourage younger investigators and women working in this
field. We strongly encourage all participants to submit an abstract(s) of
your their most recent work for consideration as an oral or poster
presentation. In the event of the meeting being oversubscribed, preference
to attend will go to those submitting abstracts. The organizers will
endeavor to accept for participation at least one representative of every
applicant laboratory either engaged in or about to embark on Drosophila
neurobiological research. We particularly encourage active participation by
younger investigators and minority scientists.

On the evening of October 5, Yuh Nung
Jan (UCSF) will present the Seymour Benzer Lecture.
Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be
submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection
of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers
and individual session chairs. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be
posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the
organizers.
We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are
likely to benefit most from this meeting. We have applied for funds from
government and industry to partially support graduate students and
postdocs. Apply in writing to meetings@cshl.edu
stating need for financial support - preference is given to those submitting
abstracts.
We
look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in October.
Nominate your student(s) for the 2011
