Save the date!

We're a quickly growing group with 220 members spread all over the world! The only downside to this is that it's virtually impossible to meet in person. That being said, the best thing we can do is take advantage of a number of PWN members attending this year’s Society for Neuroscience meeting in Washington DC. If you aren’t attending the meeting, but live in the area – please join us! We are still determining the location, but we'll gather at the same time as last year – Monday, November 14th immediately after the pm session. So please mark your calendars! More details to follow.
And speaking of calendars, our own PWN member and blog writer, Loly Rubio, has set up a beautiful calendar to post the time and location of talks and posters being presented at the meeting by PWN members. So if you’ll be there and are presenting, please email the following information to: pw-nexus@hotmail.com - Type (e.g. panel if it’s a session talk, poster, etc), date, time and location of presentation.
Thank you, and hope to see you all there!
