Meetings

Ever feel like nobody’s listening? Now’s your chance to make an impact and get your knowledge in front of decision makers.

Applied Microbiology International is offering a free webinar - part of the Sustainable Microbiology Policy Spotlight journal webinar series - that will explore how microbiologists can most effectively influence policy in the UK, with insights that apply to the international policymaking context. 

At the 2026 MDA Conference in Orlando, Genethon unveiled new two‑year efficacy data for its gene therapy candidate GNT0004, a key milestone for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research.

Learning French, reading the latest Andy Weir novel, hanging out with friends for St. Patrick’s Day — language is central to all these everyday activities. Seemingly effortless from childhood, language, it turns out, is quite complex, not constrained to one set of genes or one region in the brain. Cognitive neuroscientists are now using a diverse arsenal of tools, including novel genetic analyses and AI, to gain insights into both healthy and disordered communication across individuals, as will be presented at the annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS) in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Check out the press program for the American Physical Society’s Global Physics Summit today. The conference will be held in Denver and online everywhere March 15-20.

Age is more than just one number. While neuroscientists used to think of cognitive aging as a single trendline, they now realize that vast individual differences require a more predictive and personalized approach. As they uncover more factors that affect cognition over time, they are realizing that modeling the aging brain requires more diverse data than traditionally captured, as will be presented at the annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS) in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Improving the gap between your biological age and your chronological age is associated with a lower risk of stroke and improvements in signs of damage in the brain, according to a preliminary study released March 5, 2026, that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 78^th Annual Meeting taking place April 18-22, 2026, in Chicago and online.
