Sarah K. Williams is attending Andrew Burke's event
International Behavioral Neuroscience Society 21st Annual Meeting at Sheraton Keauhou Bay Kailua-Kona, Hawaii USA
June 5, 2012 to June 10, 2012
This year IBNS will meet in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii! After many years of negotiating for reasonable prices for this exotic location, we have succeeded. The conference dates are June 5-10, 2012.You will need to plan a few extra days to see the Big Island as this will be our busiest program in IBNS history with keynote speakers David Diamond and Sarah Leibowitz, 15 special symposia, and an array of other scientific sessions and special speakers. See our website for speaker details and discounts. …See More
