You all should know by now that I am blogging this year's Society for Neuroscience meeting in Washington DC! I'll be getting there on Friday, and staying through Wednesday, and filling my poor tired brain with all the science it can hold! And in the meantime, you should check out the blog at Neurotic Physiology, where I will be reposting some of the advice that seems relevant every year at SfN. I've already got a post up on presentation don'ts, and this will be followed by advice on poster do's, as well as some general advice for getting the most out of your meeting!
Keep an eye out for Sci as I buzz around the meeting, and if you want to hang out, I'll be at the #sfnBANTER meetup on Monday! Hope to see you there!
