ISPNE 2024 Virtual Conference: Technology in Psychoneuroendocrinology
Dear ISPNE Members, Presenters, and Guests,
We would like to take a moment to give a huge thank you to everyone that contributed their research, enthusiasm, ideas, and hard work to our virtual conference, “Technology in Psychoneuroendocrinology.”
The program included 28 talks, including 3 award talks, 2 keynotes, and two invited symposia, and four symposia featuring submitted abstracts. It also involved 50 posters. We were very impressed with the quality of the science presented and with the insightful comments and collegiality of the conference attendees.
Importantly, all the talks were recorded and are available to those of you that registered for the conference until December 13, 2024. We hope you take the time to revisit the talks that intrigued you the most and visit some of the talks and posters you may have missed during the meeting days. If you wish you had attended the meeting and want a second chance, it is not too late to pay a conference registration fee to access the recorded material. Just visit our website to register and send us an email at [email protected] so we can add you to Whova, where you will be able to access the material.
In addition to the talks, we were pleased to recognize our 2024 award winners. Every year, we give out several awards to honor the work and contributions of people in our community. This year, we were delighted to honor Sue Carter for the Bruce McEwen Lifetime Achievement Award and Grant Shields and Joanna Spencer-Segal for the Dirk Hellhammer Young Investigator Award. Additionally, we recognized Kristin Davis, Qiuhan Huang, Helena Nti, and Andrea Zagaria for the Early Career Scholar Top-Rated Abstract Awards.
We want to extend a special thank you to our biggest sponsors, Corcept Therapeutics, Tecan, and Elsevier who have so generously supported ISPNE this year and helped to make this conference happen. We would like to also thank our ISPNE members, whose continuing support and excellent work keep our society going.
At this year’s conference, we announced that we are now a self-managed society. To help run the society, we are looking to reactivate some of ISPNE’s vital committees. These committees include the Finance Committee, Development Committee, Nominating Committee, Education Committee, Early Career Scholars Committee, Congress Scientific Committee, and Journal and Publication Committee (descriptions of each committee can be found on our website). We will need 4 to 5 members for each committee. If you are interested in getting more involved in ISPNE and finding out more about our committee opportunities, please email us at [email protected] with the subject line “Committee Interest” and provide us with a copy of your C.V. If you know which committee you might be interested in, please indicate that. If not, we will work with you to try to find a committee that matches your skills and interests.
We very much look forward to seeing many of you in person next September 3rd -5th at our in-person conference in New Orleans. The latest information on the New Orleans conference can be found on our website.
Warmly,
Emma Adam
ISPNE President
On Behalf of the ISPNE Executive Committee
