[vslist] SfN satellite symposium "The Senses" plus J. Physiol. special issue

[Karl Gegenfurtner]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to remind you of the SfN satellite symposium "The senses" that will 
take place this coming Friday, October 22nd, in San Diego. Note that Linda Buck, 
who received the Nobel Prize a couple of weeks ago, has confirmed her appearance 
at the symposium. Since I had several queries, I would like to point out that 
the symposium is free for everybody. There is no registration process.

In connection with the symposium, the Journal of Physiology will be publishing a 
special issue on Sensory Physiology in April 2005, with review articles by the 
symposium speakers. Authors preparing research papers on related topics are 
invited to submit these to The Journal for inclusion in the symposium issue. 
Papers should be submitted by 1 January 2005 at the latest.

The Journal of Physiology is sponsoring a satellite symposium to this
year’s Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in San Diego. “The
Senses” will take place on October 22nd, 2004 (the day before the
SfN meeting) from 10 am to 6 pm at the San Diego Marriott Hotel &
Marina, marina ballroom Salon D.

This event is free of charge to all interested scientists.
Registration is NOT required, but please do note that a limited number
of 350 seats is available. Up to date information can be found at
http://jp.physoc.org/misc/symp102004.shtml.
