Society for Neuroscience Oregon/SW Washington Chapter
The Oregon/Southwest Washington Chapter is the local group affiliated with the Society for Neuroscience. Our goal is to be a networking resource for neuroscience students, postdoctoral scholars and faculty throughout the region. Our annual meeting in the spring brings together scientists to share projects, network with elected officials and government entities, and engage with colleagues from across the state.
We are delighted to be back in-person for our 2023 Chapter meeting! Join us at McMenamin's Edgefield Winery in Troutdale, OR, for our annual Chapter gathering.
The deadline to register for this event is Wednesday, May 3.
