Zebrafish Neural Circuits & Behavior
November 20 - 23, 2019

You must register for the meeting in order to submit abstracts.
After registering you will be sent a web link for abstract submission by email.
You may copy and paste your abstract from Word, Google Docs, or Notepad; abstracts are limited to ~2900 characters.

Program information: An electronic version of the program abstract book will be sent three working days prior to the first day of the meeting, and hard copies will be available for collection upon your arrival at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. First night and keynote speakers are informed of their session date and time, otherwise program information is only available upon release of the electronic version of the abstract book. The reason we do this is to try and maximize interactions by encouraging participants to stay for the duration of the meeting.

Please check your email for talk length, poster instructions, and how to have your poster printed at CSHL for collection upon arrival.
