INTERNATIONAL WEBINAR IN REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY
Students at the University of Tours*, France, are organizing a Webinar in Biology of Reproduction November 24-26, Live on Livestorm (https://www.gamets.fr/).
Let us join our colleagues for this exciting opportunity.
REGISTRATION is open

*About the students at the University of Tours: We are an association of 16 students in the Reproductive Biology master’s degree at the University of Tours (37). In 2019, we decided to found the GAMET’S organisation in order to create events related to our university course. The goals of these events are to allow us to contribute to the dissemination of scientific knowledge, to challenge ourselves with the organization of events from scratch and to take a first step into the scientific world. Our current projects are a scientific congress about reproductive biology to be held on November 24th, 25th and 26th, and a public lecture about Endometriosis (in French) on November 26th. For more information about the congress speakers check the link “Speakers” and check the link “Registration” to reach the registration page.
Journal of Neuroendocrinology
Journal of Neuroendocrinology – creating a single Society-owned home for all neuroendocrine research outputs
We are excited to announce that Journal of Neuroendocrinology is expanding its remit to encompass the full breadth of neuroendocrinology by adding a strand covering ‘Translational and Clinical Neuroendocrinology’, in addition to our current focus on ‘Fundamental and Mechanistic Neuroendocrinology’. Extending our scope in this way will strengthen the Journal of Neuroendocrinology through greater diversity in research and shared knowledge. With this in mind, we are now actively welcoming submissions in Translational and Clinical Neuroendocrinology and encourage PANS members to submit their research in this area.

The British Society of Neuroendocrinology is organizing an Early Career researchers (ECRs) webinar – the American edition – on Wednesday August 26th at 12pm noon EDT.
posted August 12, 2020
This is a nice opportunity to present your work in a very friendly environment with quality discussion and input from Early Career Researchers from around the Globe. The deadline for Abstract submission is Tuesday August 11th.
To participate, you have to be a member of the Society, but this is a very affordable international society that offers a lot. You will have access to several types of grants, meetings, resources, etc. If you are interested, but don’t have time to join yet, you can also contact me directly.
You can find more information in the email below:
ECRs now have until Tuesday 11th August to submit an abstract, so there’s still time to apply for a talk! Each talk will be 15 minutes + 5 for questions.
Submit your abstract to ECRhub@neuroendo.org.uk by Tuesday 11 August.
The webinar, hosted by Dr Rajae Talbi (Harvard Medical School) and Dr Luis Paiva (Universidad Austral de Chile), will take place on Wednesday, 26 August at 9 am PDT / 12 pm noon EDT / 5 pm BST / 6 pm CEST.
The webinar is free to members, and you can register now in mySociety: https://my.neuroendo.org.uk/item.php?eventid=1017 (you must be logged in to access the link)
Feel free to share with colleagues, and we hope to see you at the webinar in a few weeks!
Best wishes,
The BSN Team
The Editors of The International Neuroendocrine Federation (INF) Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology book series would like to draw your attention to the publication of the latest books in the series. We believe that these books will be of interest to our members
