Society for Neuroscience: UM Represents!

I'm headed to Atlanta, for the Society for Neuroscience meeting. I don't have a poster (just presented one in France!) so I'll just be a tourist. And, hoping to run into a few neuro-bloggers like Evil Monkey, Jake of Pure Pedantry, and the Neurocontrarian.

Here's how the UM Neuroscience PhD students are representing, though. If you're going, check them out.
