    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I hope this message finds you well. We are reaching out to you as organizers of the Inhibition in the central nervous systems Gordon Research Seminar 2025.
    We believe that your organization and its members would greatly benefit from this unique event.

    We would like to ask whether you could share the attached poster and conference information with your members or other people you think might be interested in our event.

    Some information about the conference:

    The Inhibition in the CNS GRS 2025 will be held on the 5th and 6th of July in Maine, US and will be followed by the associated conference on Inhibition from the 6th until the 11th of July. During these conferences, speakers from all over the world will gather to discuss their scientific findings. At the Inhibition in the CNS GRS we want to foster collaboration, promote diversity, and create a welcoming community. The seminar program is carefully curated to delve into three pivotal topics: the roles of subcortical GABAergic neurons, the modulation of inhibitory processes, and insights from computational modelling. We want to encourage discussions covering theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects of inhibition at all scales. By organizing mixer dinners, mentorship lunches and scientific workshops, we’re determined to create an atmosphere where everyone feels valued.
    We’ll match first-time GRS attendees with experienced attendees for a seamless introduction to the GRS community.

    Our commitment to inclusivity means we are actively encouraging applications from underrepresented countries, demographics, and labs.
    We understand that attending conferences can be challenging, and we want to make it as accessible as possible for everyone.

    We would love to hear back from you if there is anything we can do to make our seminar more accessible and interesting to you and your members!

    Best regards,

    Wricha Mishra & Nicole Vissers

  • EARA Media Training for Greece – 11 April 2 pm EEST

    The European Animal Research Association (EARA) invites you to join this online media training session, on 11 April at 2 pm EEST, for Greek researchers and animal research stakeholders. This session will equip you with the tools you need to start communicating about your animal research to a wider audience.

    Based on EARA’s Communications Handbook, we will cover why it’s important to be open and transparent about animal research, give tips on how to start talking to the media, plus advice about what to do in crisis situations.

    This interactive online workshop, via Zoom, is aimed at researchers who use animals in their research, as well as veterinarians, animal welfare professionals and communications staff, who are interested in developing their skills and expanding their conversations specific to animal research.

    Topics discussed include:

    • the importance of improving public engagement.
    • political initiatives in the US and Europe to phase-out of animal research.
    • dealing with a communication crisis.

    A certificate of attendance will be provided after the training. 

    This is an online event only and will be conducted in English.

    Please share this invitation with partners and associates who might find this workshop relevant.

    Registration is free but mandatory. Register here:

  • ESN-ISN Neurochemistry School 2024

    We are pleased to announce that the application platform for the Third of
    the ESN <https://neurochemsoc.eu/> -ISN <https://www.neurochemistry.org/>
    Neurochemistry School series, which will take place in Athens, Greece, under
    the auspice of the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens
    on June 2-8, 2024, is NOW OPEN, just visit
    https://www.esn-isn-neurochemistryschool2024.com/application !

    Entitled “Neurodegeneration, Inflammation, and Cancer”, this ESN-ISN School
    will bring together 24 young scientists (PhD students and postdocs,
    competitively chosen for their academic performance) from European and
    neighboring countries and distinguished faculty to explore the mechanisms of
    the common functional pathways in neurodegeneration, inflammation, and
    cancer, which apparently show intriguing and intricate interrelations.

    For one week, attendees, who will receive full support for travel and all
    incurred expenses during the School term, will take part in advanced
    scientific lectures, discussions, poster presentations, and will have the
    opportunity to choose from 14 different state-of-the-art, hands-on
    laboratory modules, according to their own interests.  For more info on the
