One meeting is chasing another this year. Hopefully all this traveling will eventually pay off in terms of a job offer soon!
From November 2-7 about 30,000 neuroscientists will meet in sunny San Diego for the annual SfN meeting. This time around my presentation there will be a talk on "Flight motor performance deficits in flies with genetically altered biogenic amine levels". The presentation will last about 10 minutes and will be in the session "Voluntary Movements III" (453) which takes place Monday Nov 5, 2007 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM in room 1B of the convention center. Get all the details here.
You can find the abstract under the fold.
Just yesterday I heard that the paper we submitted for these experiment was deemed suitable for publication in the Journal of Neuroscience! We only have to make some changes to the text of the manuscript and maybe one more experiment and it should get published there. This would further increase my chances of getting a job as this journal has a considerable Impact Factor.
