mGluRs (Midwest Great Lakes Undergraduate Research Symposium in Neuroscience) is a conference that specifically aims to provide an opportunity for undergraduates to present summer research projects and, for some, to prepare for the Annual SfN meeting. The conference usually also typically entails a keynote speaker, an undergraduate research poster session, a career panel, other professional development opportunities, and a chance to meet and talk to graduate school representatives.
The Midwest & Great Lake Undergraduate Research Symposium in Neuroscience is back in person this year! The 1-day conference will be held on the campus of Baldwin Wallace University on Saturday October 1st. We hope you can join us! Dr. Christine Dengler-Crish from the Northeast Ohio Medical University will provide the keynote talk, students will present their research in oral and poster format, and there will be professional development sessions, as well as the opportunity to network (over lunch and snacks!), talk to graduate program sponsors, and celebrate all that is neuroscience.
