Please save Saturday, September 29^th for the 2012 mGluRs (Midwest/Great Lakes Undergraduate Research Symposium) conference at the College of Wooster, OH.  This undergraduate research conference, modeled on SYNAPSE and NEURON, hosts undergraduate Neuroscience research presentations from colleges and universities in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Kentucky.  We will have a full day of activities with student and faculty breakout sessions on relevant topics, a keynote address by Dr. Scott Thompson of the University of Maryland School of Medicine (http://medschool.umaryland.edu/facultyresearchprofile/viewprofile.aspx?i...) and both platform and poster presentations by undergraduate students.

We hope that you will find the time to sponsor student presentations and join us to celebrate their hard work. Last year we hosted over 100 participants with 28 posters and would love to have even more this coming fall.
