2017 Science Research Conference (SRC) Directory Engage Learn Explore Contribute REGISTER NOW! www.FASEB.org/SRC Invitation to Attend Dear Prospective Attendee, On behalf of the FASEB Science Research Conferences program, we would like to invite you to participate in our 2017 conference series. FASEB SRCs are held annually at several locations worldwide, with an average of 100 to 150 attendees per conference. These intimate settings allow attendees to have in-depth discussions about the science presented, its future, and the contributions they hope to make in their respective fields. Each meeting spans five days, allowing time for established scientists to share their work and for trainees to participate in Meet-the-Expert Sessions. Participants also have the opportunity to present their research either as short-talks or during poster sessions. In addition, the SRCs provide a welcoming environment for scientific discourse, collaboration, and opportunities to mentor the next generation of researchers. Please join more than 4,000 researchers who will be participating in one or more of the 31 conferences this year. We look forward to seeing you! John D.
