The Annual Delaware Neuroscience Symposium will be held in person at the Audion in the STAR Tower on December 8, 2023 from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.  The symposium program includes a keynote presentation by Jared M. Salatin, PhD who direct the Sleep and Neurodevelopment research program and is the Associate Director of the of the  E.P. Bradley Hospital Sleep Research Laboratory at Brown University.

Selected undergraduate and graduate students and post-docs will present in one of three formats: 15 minute Short Talks, 5 minute "Lightening Talks", or a poster.   Short talks will be a total of 15 minutes long including the presentation and questions. Lightening Talks will be a total of 5 minutes long.

Both the posters and Lightening talk presentations will be judged, with prizes awarded in undergraduate, graduate student and post-doc/research staff categories. The time available for talks is limited, so we will not be able to accommodate all who wish to present a talk. Oral presentation slots will be awarded based on the quality and scientific importance of the abstract submitted.  Presenters who request a talk and are not selected  will be automatically registered for a poster presentation.  Abstracts for both talks and posters should be 250 - 400 words with a short, informative title.   The posters themselves will need to be 4 ft by 3 ft or smaller.

There are THREE deadlines for registration:

Monday, November 11, 2024  11:00 pm - Submission deadline for abstracts for Short Talks or Lightening Talks. Presenters will be informed if they have been selected or a talk or a poster by November 25, 2024.
