Wow – that was an exhilarating, eye-opening and incredibly exciting Festival of Neuroscience! For all of you who came and made it such a success: thank you!
If we can just take a moment to bask in the glow (!) of the Festival’s achievements: 9 world-class plenary lectures (from Prof Uta Frith and Prof Ray Dolan to Prof Anders Bjorklund); 35 symposia; 500+ posters; special sessions, satellite meetings and workshops; and a free public programme, including rap artist and science communicator, Baba Brinkman! And with delegates coming from over 30 countries!
We’re proud BNA2019 brought changes too. For the first time we had a Career Zone, along with career speed dating sessions. Plus, a Credibility Zone to discuss the way forward on research practices (read more here), and for the first time, pre-registered posters. And lots more besides.
Also, huge congratulations to our fabulous poster prize-winners – that’s:
Well done to all of the prize winners, and everyone for taking part!
All that’s left to say is, get these dates in your diary: BNA2021 in Brighton (11-14 April), and, not forgetting, FENS 2020 in Glasgow (11-15 July).
