Brain and Behavior Conference to Feature Speakers, Research, Networking

The Scranton Brain and Behavior Conference will return to The University of Scranton on Saturday, April 18, further highlighting the University's role as an important hub for neuroscience and psychology education and research.

The undergraduate-focused conference will be held at the Loyola Science Center with registration beginning at 8 a.m. The conference begins at 9 a.m. and will feature panels, poster presentations and a keynote lecture.

While registration fees are $5 for college students and $15 for faculty/staff, the conference is free to attend for high school students and includes lunch.

"This is a good place to see undergraduate students, college students, showing their research and for high school students to see what that looks like and learn about what it involves," said Robert Waldeck, Ph.D., director of the University's neuroscience program.

Lisa Gabel, Ph.D., a neuroscience professor at Lafayette College, will deliver the keynote speech on the topic, "Decoding Dyslexia: Translating Neuroscience Through Multidisciplinary Collaboration."

Faculty, staff and undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to participate in an abstract (talk/poster) submission. The submission form is live. The deadline to submit is Friday, March 27.
