FALL MEETING SUMMARY
NOVEMBER 2, 2002
The Association of Neuroscience and
Departments held its annual fall meeting on Saturday, Nov. 2. The
highlight of the dinner meeting was the recognition of Dr. Eric Chudler
as the 2002 recipient of the 2002 ANDP Education Award. Dr. Chudler has
created a web based neuroscience education resource that is widely used
by science teachers, especially at the secondary education level. This
outstanding resource can be accessed at chudler@u.washington.edu
Newly elected officers were recognized: Dr. George Rebec,
president-elect, and Dr. James Roberts, counselor. Dr. James King
completed his term as president, Dr. Jack Waymire completed his two year
term as councilor, and Dr. Leslie Tolbert began her term as president.
The annual ANDP Forum for students and postdoctoral trainees was held on
Monday Nov. 4, as part of the SFN meeting. The focus for this year was
"Getting The Most Out of Your Postdoctoral Experience."
Speakers included Drs. Paul Shughrue (Merck Reseach Laboratories), Lynne
Bianchi (Oberlin College), and John Hildebrand (University of Arizona),
representing the perspectives of private industry, a small private
liberal arts college, and a large public research university. Following
their presentations to a packed audience, a panel of postdoctoral
fellows led questions and discussion. The panel's summary
of the Forum is available on the ANDP website at http://www.andp.org
In addition, the ANDP again collaborated
with the SFN to host a Student Hospitality Room, staffed by student
volunteers. The room is a quiet place set aside for students to relax,
meet other students, and share meeting notes.
The annual ANDP spring meeting will be held on May 3 - 4, 2003 at the
Hyatt Regency in Bethesda Maryland. Please consult the ANDP website http://ww.andp.org
for meeting information and registration forms.

Past President, ANDP
