ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR POSTER ABSTRACTS!


The 2008 Workshop on Steroid Hormones and Brain Function will be held in Key Largo, Florida, April 8-12, 2008. After 15 years in Breckenridge, Colorado, the meeting has relocated for 2008 to the Marriott Hotel in Key Largo. For more information on the city of Key Largo visit their webpage.

The symposia for the 2008 meeting can be found here.

At this time, we are accepting abstracts for poster presentations. Individuals are encouraged to present posters within any area spanning STEROID HORMONES and BRAIN FUNCTION. Please submit your abstracts electronically to Peter J. Schmidt at peterschmidt@mail.nih.gov.

As in previous years, the Young Investigator Symposium is planned to kick off the meeting. The names of the Young investigators (graduate students and post-docs) will be released the end of January. To see the list of previous young investigators, click here.

Please note that the meeting does not provide funds for travel or lodging except for the Young Investigators.

The Workshop has been meeting since 1993. The success of the meeting is due in large part to both the quality and the variety of the scientific sessions as well as the location. The sessions result for the concerted efforts of the individual investigators who generate creative ideas for scientific presentations of compelling interest. Many sessions have benefited from the inclusion of individuals of diverse scientific backgrounds and the use of wide-ranging model systems.


Thank you.
The Organizing Committee
