----------------------------------------
Dendrites 2014 aims to bring together scientists from around the world
to present their research on dendrites, ranging from the molecular to
the anatomical and biophysical levels. The Workshop will take place in
the beautiful island of Crete, just after the AREADNE meeting
(areadne.org) which takes place in the nearby island of Santorini. Note
that Santorini is just a 2 hour boat ride from Crete. One could combine
two meetings in a single trip to Greece!
FORMAT AND SPEAKERS
The meeting consists of the Main Event (July 1-3) and the Soft Skills
Day (July 4). Invited speakers for the Main Event include:
* Susumu Tonegawa (Nobel Laureate),
* Angus Silver,
* Tiago Branco,
* Alcino J. Silva,
* Michael Häusser,
* Julietta U. Frey,
* Stefan Remy, and
* Kristen Harris.
For the Soft Skills Day, Kerri Smith, Nature podcast editor, is going to
present on communication and dissemination of scientific results.
Alcino J. Silva (UCLA) will present his recent work on developing
tools for integrating and planning research in Neuroscience. There will
be a hands on session on tools used to model neural cells/networks and a
talk about the advantages of publishing under the Creative Commons License.

Submission of abstracts for poster and oral presentations are due by *14
April 2014*. We welcome both experimental and theoretical contributions
