PouLab Helps Host GBSfN 2024!

The annual reunion of Baltimore Neuroscientists, the Greater Baltimore Society for Neuroscience (GBSfN) meeting, took place this year in Westminster Hall (the famous resting place of Edgar Allan Poe) on the University of Maryland campus in downtown Baltimore, and the lab was front and center! Alex served as GBSfN President this year, and all lab members pitched in with logistics and science to make this an awesome day for Baltimore Neuro!

Over 170 members (from undergrads to Institute Directors) across our 9 academic institutions, with representatives from government and industry partners came together to celebrate Baltimore Neuroscience. We honored Baltimore icons like Vernon Mountcastle, Sol Snyder, and Linda Richards; discussed the evolving neuroscience technology toolkit with guest speaker George Church; and topped it all off with food, drinks, posters, and neuro-nerd bar trivia. What a day! Thank you to all that made it possible…
