2012 Annual Scientific Meeting Highlights

Interact with Presenters, Meeting Attendees & Colleagues through Online Discussions; Live Streaming of Plenary Sessions to AANSconnect

For the first time, the content of AANS science and education will be presented on a global platform, because AANS Plenary Sessions will be webcasted worldwide through live streaming video. Also for the first time, all attendees (both on and off-site) can engage with presenters, discussants, and each other by posting questions and comments in online discussion forums. These innovations are made possible via AANS' new social media community, AANSconnect, at www.aansconnect.org. After logging in, both on and off-site meeting attendees can interact with the presenters, discussants, or even each other by posting online comments or questions. While only the plenary sessions are being streamed, you can use AANSconnect's discussion forums to discuss all sci- entific session presentations through your computer, iPod touch, or other mobile device. Further, the electronic posters are available in AANSconnect for discussion as well.

How to log in Visit www.aansconnect.org, and click the “login” link in the log-in box (or on the top right) • AANS Members: Use the same username and password you use to access MyAANS. • Non-Members: non-member registrants have been granted temporary access to this unique service. Your log- in is the same log-in and password you use to access MyAANS.org. • If you forgot your username or password, click on the “login help”link then choose the “If you forgot your login credentials, please click HERE” option. The system will send your log-in information to your email address.

How do I view or join the online discussions? After logging in, mouse over the Annual Meeting Tab and click on “Meeting Discussions”link. Threads are organized by day.

You can post from that page as well.

Where are the electronic posters? Mouse over the Annual Meeting tab, and click on the “poster” link. Posters are organized by categories (mostly subspe- cialty). Click on the category and a list of posters in that category will appear. When you select the poster you want, click on the attached file to open the poster (see the gray box). You can subscribe to a discussion thread so an email is sent to anytime someone posts a comment regarding the particular poster; you can also bookmark it so you can access it from your profile page.

How can I get help? Further help regarding how to access the discussion Forums is available in the AANS Resource Center, booth # 1330 in the Exhibit Hall. It is also posted online at http://www.aans.org/Annual%20Meeting/2012.aspx in the “meeting highlights” tab.

What happens after the meeting? AANSconnect is a great way to stay in touch with all the people you met at the meeting, or collaborated with in the Discussion forums. For AANS members, the interaction doesn't stop when the meeting ends. Keep using AANSconnect to find people with similar research or subspecialty interests, or join groups around areas that interest you. Non-members, please note that your temporary access expires April 23. You can continue to use the online forums until then.

The Albert L. Rhoton Tribute for the Establishment of the Rhoton Endowment for Research 8:30 PM Fee: $500 per person

Join us in coming together as a community to celebrate the career, honor the contributions and participate in creating an enduring legacy by endowing a research fellowship in honor of Albert L. Rhoton, MD. The evening honoring Albert L. Rhoton, MD will be held on Monday, April 16 at Bongo's Cuban Café. The evening includes hors d'oeuvres, open bar, dancing, silent and live auc- tions and musical entertainment featuring the Miami Sound Machine.

An additional goal of this celebration is to raise more than $1 million for the establishment of the Rhoton Endowment for Research. There is not a more deserving recipient of this honor than Professor Rhoton. His extraordinary contributions to the science and practice of neurosurgery over the last 40 years through education and scientific investigation will echo through time. His meticulous methods of anatomical dissection and microsurgical techniques helped transform the primi- tive specialty of neurosurgery into the magnificent surgical discipline that it is today. Generations of neurosurgeons from around the world have benefitted as his students, residents, fellows and course attendees, as well as from his extensive pub- lications and videos. We urge you to participate in this extraordinary event and help establish this enduring legacy.

Transportation departs from all hotels beginning at 8:15 PM. Purchase your ticket online at www.aans.org or stop by the Lobby C Registration Area at the Convention Center.

Cushing Cigarette Box Each year at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), the outgoing president is presented with a special momento of his year in office the “Cushing Cigarette Box” representing more than a half century of neurosurgical tradition. The sterling silver Cushing Cigarette Box was originally presented to Harvey Cushing, MD, by the surgical staff at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital on April 14, 1931, commemorating Dr. Cushing's 2000th verified intracranial tumor operation. Beginning with this cherished tradition back in 1959, Dr. Cushing's nephew, E. H. Cushing, MD, presented the cigarette box to the AANS resident and asked that it be passed on to each succeeding president as a symbol of the Association's highest office.

Cushing Orator In 1965 when the AANS w as still the Har vey Cushing Society, the board directed that each year an invitation be extended to “one eminent in human affairs ,” to deliver the Cushing Oration at the Annual Scientific Meeting. The Oration honors Dr. Harvey Cushing, whose own “wide range of interests went far beyond the operating suite” and is regarded as the highest honor the organization can bestow.

2012 Cushing Orator From Reading to Writing the Genetic Code J. Craig Venter, PhD 12:11-12:56 PM Hall D, Miami Ceach Convention Center

J. Craig Venter, PhD, is regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 21st century for his numerous invaluable contributions to genomic research. He is Founder, Chairman, and President of the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), a not-for-profit, research organiza- tion with approximately 300 scientists and staff dedicated to human, microbial, plant, synthetic and environmental genomic research, and the exploration of social and ethical issues in genomics.

Dr. Venter, one of the most frequently cited scientists, is the author of more than 250 research articles, including the February 2001 publication of the human genome in the journal, Science.

He and his team have sequenced and analyzed hundreds of genomes, and have published numerous important papers cov- ering environmental genomics, the first complete diploid human genome, and the groundbreaking advance in creating the first self-replicating bacterial cell constructed entirely with synthetic DNA.

Dr. Venter is also Founder and CEO of Synthetic Genomics Inc., a privately held company dedicated to commercializing genomic-driven solutions to address global needs such as new sources of energy and next generation vaccines.
