> Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Genes & Behavior, to be held March
> 17-18, 2012, in Galveston, Texas, immediately preceding the Gordon 
> Research

> What: 2012 Gordon Research Seminar on Genes & Behavior
> When: March 17-18, 2012, immediately preceding the Gordon Research
> Conference on Genes & Behavior
> Where: Hotel Galvez, Galveston, Texas
> Who: Graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable
> experience studying the relationships between genes and behavior.
> Deadline to submit abstracts for talks: November 30, 2011
> Deadline to submit poster abstracts: February 17, 2012

> The Gordon Research Seminar on Genes & Behavior is a unique forum for 
> graduate students, post-docs, and other
> scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to 
> present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.
> The meeting will focus on recent findings and new technologies 
> associated with the molecular, neurobiological and
> evolutionary mechanics of behavior. We will continue our tradition of 
> bringing together researchers exploring a diverse array
> of model systems, ranging from lab-based, genetic approaches to 
> natural studies of heritable behavior (including human
> behavior), and will emphasize cross-disciplinary integration of data 
> and methods. Five faculty in the field were invited as keynote 
> speakers and discussion leaders and the meeting program will be soon 
> available online.
>
> We are excited to offer an opportunity for 10 junior scientists 
> to present 20-minute talks during the seminar. The Chairs will select 
> speakers from abstracts submitted by *November 30, 2011*, so please 
> apply by that date in order to be considered. In addition, two of 
> these speakers will be selected by their fellow attendees to repeat 
> their talk during the main Gordon Research Conference on Genes & 
> Behavior. We are especially hoping to select speakers for the 
> following session topics: 1) Genes, Brain and Natural Behavior; 2) 
> Dissecting Neural Circuits Underlying Behavior; 3)Epigenetic Effects 
> and Behavior.Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those 
> who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation 
> will be expected to present a poster. Therefore, all applications must 
> include an abstract. GRS attendance will be capped at 60 attendees, so 
> you are encouraged to apply early.
