Dear David,
Last March, OHBM Communications Committee sent out our first edition of this revamped OHBMonthly newsletter, with the aim of keeping OHBM members and the brain mapping community up-to-date on the latest news and events from around the society. We’ve received lots of positive and constructive feedback in the one year since its launch, for which we’re greatly appreciative. We hope you’ve enjoyed this newsletter, and we aim to continue showcasing the incredible activity across OHBM throughout the year!
Of course, excitement is building towards OHBM 2024 in Seoul, Korea, with our Featured Speakers, Educational Courses and Symposia being announced over the past few weeks. Congratulations to those whose courses and symposia were accepted!
With the annual meeting approaching, we want to highlight a few upcoming deadlines below. Stay on the lookout for more nomination and event registration deadlines in the coming weeks!
Best,
Kevin Sitek and Alfie Wearn
