As usual, if you are aware of any new events, please forward them to me (if urgent), or post them to the SfN website (which I check for this email list). The latter is preferred, as this will also create a public, centralized record of the event.

Feel free to forward to anyone who might be interested in psych/neuro event announcements. To subscribe, press the button below.
