Symposia
Happy New Year for 2022 and welcome to the ANS Developmental Neuroscience Forum (ADNF)! The mission of the ADNF is to provide year-long engagement for Australasian Neuroscience Society Members and our colleagues all around the world with an interest in developmental neuroscience.
We encourage you to sign up and join our mailing list to receive full details of presentations and speakers. You can also recommend a colleague or even nominate yourself to speak about your exciting project that is in pre-print, or recently published. We welcome your participation, as audience member as well as speaker!
Please see below for our next session. Also, please scroll down further for details and YouTube videos of previous presentations and/or subscribe to our ADNF YouTube channel!
With best wishes,
Your friendly ADNF team
(Nathalie Dehorter, Michael Piper, Kelly Glendining, Laura Fenlon, Julian Heng).

Umm, why are some seminars not available as YouTube videos? Some speakers have requested not to publish video recordings of their seminars because they discussed exciting unpublished data on the day. However, stay tuned to our programming as speakers can subsequently allow us to post their presentation when work is published. So, if you don’t want to miss out on the latest research from our speakers, grab a hot beverage and join us live for our next symposium!
