Workshop for K-12 Science Teachers-- Bringing Together K-12 Teachers and Neuroscientists
Organized by the SFN Committee on Neuroscience Literacy

9:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. (Saturday, Nov. 10)
The Salk Institute - No on-site registration.

Are you a neuroscientist that wants to learn more about K-12 education and how neuroscience fits into K-12 curricula? Are you a teacher interested in learning more about neuroscience research and integrating neuroscience into your curriculum? Then come to this workshop at the SFN Annual Meeting designed to bring together K-12 classroom teachers and neuroscientists.

The purpose of the workshop is to welcome K-12 teachers to the world of neuroscience and to foster dialogue among teachers and neuroscientists about neuroscience education, research, and possibilities for teacher-scientist collaborations. The workshop this year will be held at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Teachers and their neuroscientist partners will visit neuroscience laboratories, experience a hands-on session with human brains, attend a luncheon seminar by a neuroscientist on their current research, and discuss accessing the wealth of neuroscience resources on the Web. Teachers participating in the workshop will receive registration for the Annual Meeting, a neuroscientist partner to guide them through seminars on Saturday and posters on Sunday, and opportunities to network with other K-12 educators in attendance. Bus transportation to and from The Salk Institute will be provided for all participants from the San Diego Convention Center.

Call for Partners: Enthusiastic neuroscientists are needed to serve as partners for teachers attending the Annual Meeting and this workshop. Partnering teachers and neuroscientists during the Annual Meeting for informal discussions has proven to be valuable for both parties, orienting teachers to what can be an overwhelming meeting and giving neuroscientists insight into where neuroscience fits into K-12 education. The time commitment is minimal and flexible. Neuroscientists who participate in the workshop are welcome to attend all the activities at The Salk Institute and are expected to attend the luncheon seminar on Saturday. Time will be allowed for neuroscientists to get acquainted with their teacher partner, familiarize them with the format of the Annual Meeting on Saturday and Sunday, share with their teacher partner the focus of their neuroscience research, and learn about their teachers' K-12 curriculum and how neuroscience fits in.

Writing, Editing, and Publishing in the Sciences (WORKSHOP)
3:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m. (Saturday, Nov. 10)

San Diego Convention Center

Good writing can often tip the balance between acceptance and rejection of a manuscript. This interactive workshop will explain what editors want and how to bridge the gap between editors and scientists. It will provide researchers with strategies to produce precise, clear, and reader-based texts. Using examples from The Journal of Neuroscience, workshop presenters will demonstrate how to structure manuscripts and make effective figures, and how to maximize the benefits of online journals. As a special feature, we will analyze participants' writing to explain current editing techniques helping both experienced and inexperienced writers to write persuasive grants as well as effective manuscripts. Workshop participants will be able to sharpen their techniques for writing effective manuscripts and talk to a senior Journal of Neuroscience editor about getting articles published. This event is open to all registrants of the Annual Meeting. Attendance will be limited to 20 participants. Registration fee is $45 ($25 for graduate students).

Speakers: L. Cooper, McGill University; G. Westbrook, Senior Editor, The Journal of Neuroscience.

10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. (Saturday, November 10)
University of Southern California

VFS Physiologicals is an educational and research tool which provides numerical experiments within a simulation system. It uses numerical simulation to represent how real biological systems work. Tutorials help you understand how to use the functions of the system. VFS Physiologicals is a highly instructional system which provides a comprehensive treatment of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurobiological phenomena within the framework of a hierarchical formalism for combining multiple models to the level of single neurons or small networks of neurons, for evaluating the functional consequences of particular mechanisms on large-scale network behavior in a manner that can readily be extended to biomedical applications.

Speakers: G. A. Chauvet, T. W. Berger, F. Gorin, P. Chauvet.

Using SNNAP: A General Purpose Simulator for Neural Networks and Action Potentials (SYMPOSIUM)
1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. (Saturday, November 10)
San Diego Convention Center - Room 26B

Computer simulations are an important tool for exploring processes that underlie neural function. SNNAP is neural-simulation software that was designed to be versatile and powerful enough for researchers and yet user-friendly enough for students and neuroscientists with no specialized computer skills. Through lectures, demonstrations and hands-on exercises, this course will describe the capabilities of SNNAP, train participants to use SNNAP and help them to begin developing models and simulations that match their needs and interests.

11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. (Monday, November 12)
San Diego Convention Center - Room 16B

The scheduled forum will address issues related to the recent report issued by the National Academy of Science regarding the education of biomedical scientists. The response from the National Institutes of Health to this report will be presented and discussed. The impact on graduate and postdoctoral students in the field of neuroscience, as a consequence of the issues raised in both documents, is of importance and concern to graduate students, postdoctoral trainees and their mentors.

Social Issues Roundtable - Ethical Issues in the Neurosciences
Organized by the SFN Social Issues Committee

3:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. (Monday, November 12)
San Diego Convention Center - Room 6D

Moderated by W.B. Hurlbut, M.D., Program in Human Biology, Stanford University, this roundtable will feature four brief presentations followed by a panel discussion of ethical issues raised by recent advances in the neurosciences.
Investigation and intervention in neurological functioning pose difficult ethical issues. As the crucial locus of human dignity and distinction, the nervous system is at once the source and center of our moral development and moral meaning. Discoveries in neuroscience are raising dilemmas that defy traditional definitions of personhood, individual rights and social responsibilities. These advances make it imperative that we give careful consideration to the ethical dimensions of our scientific inquiry and its practical applications. Furthermore, sustained public support for neuroscience requires confidence that its research and medical use are conducted in a climate of consideration for human rights and human dignity. In this roundtable, research scientists will present their current findings and discuss the ethical implications of their work for medical therapy, social policy and broader considerations of human nature.

Presentations: "Prefrontal Cortical Lesions and Impaired Social and Moral Behavior," "Neuroscience and the Human Genome Project," "Neural Stem Cells in Research and Medical Therapy," and "Shaping Minds: Promise and Peril of Neural Plasticity."

Moderator: W.B. Hurlbut, M.D., Stanford University

Participants: H.C. Damasio, Dept. of Neurology, University of Iowa College of Medicine; M.M. Merzenich, Dept. of Otolaryngology and Physiology, University of California at San Francisco; H. Greeley, Stanford Law School, Stanford University, N. Wexler, Dept. of Neurology and Psychiatry, Columbia University.
