SYNAPSE Research Conference

SYNAPSE | Symposium for Young Neuroscientist and Professors of the South East

Saturday, April 18 | 9:30 AM – 3:30 PM | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

SYNAPSE (Symposium for Young Neuroscientists And Professors of the SouthEast) is a regional symposium for undergraduate students doing neuroscience research. The goals of the symposium are to provide students with an avenue to present their scientific endeavors and an opportunity to network with like-minded peers. In addition to this, we aim to present students with professional development opportunities that will help them advance towards an advanced degree and/or career in the field of neuroscience.
