9 November 2017: Heading to Washington, D.C.
On Saturday, the 47th annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) gets underway at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. More than 30,000 neuroscientists from across the globe are expected to attend.
It can be a lot to take in over five days. Spectrum’s reporters will be on the ground, bringing you the most newsworthy autism research findings. I’ll also be updating this blog daily with attendees’ reactions to conference presentations and posters.
Our daily news coverage is available here. Receive a roundup each day by subscribing to our newsletter, or stay up to the minute on the latest news by following Spectrum on social media. We’ll be posting on Facebook and live tweeting from the conference.
We invite you to share your expertise with the autism research community at two Spectrum events at the meeting.
At noon on Sunday, 12 November, join us at All-Purpose Pizzeria to help build the Spectrum wiki, a glossary of autism terms that is written and edited by researchers. You’ll be honing your science-communication skills by writing an entry. You’ll also receive an exclusive tote bag featuring one of Spectrum’s illustrations — and a free lunch.
We also invite you to participate in a live Twitter chat about the autism research presented at the conference at noon on Monday, 13 November. Meet us online or in person for lunch at Acadiana. We will be tweeting questions and moderating the chat using the handle @Spectrum and the hashtag #SFNChat.
