Are you attending Neuroscience 2018, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, this weekend in San Diego? Staff and funded investigators from The Michael J. Fox Foundation will be presenting posters and symposia throughout the conference. And you can visit us every day at Booth #4216 in the exhibit hall to learn about our funding opportunities and other resources available to advance your research.
