We can assist you in finding a roommate for the conference! Please send us a direct message, and we'll be happy to help. It's crucial that everyone stays together to support the conference!
New study provides additional insights into the physiology of elite divers – Life Lines by Dr. Dolittle (lifelinesblog.com) #diving #animals #science #medicine #health #sports @APSPhysiology @APS_CEPS
Another great @INRCmeeting in the books #inrc2024. Thanks @EmilyJutkiewicz for the lovely time at @UMichiganNews and the smooth organization. Thanks to all speakers and poster presenters for sharing their science. Looking forward to getting together again in Bologna, Italy.
My first #inrc2024 has been great so far with @LabLevitt See the pics for some highlights so far: my poster and opioid mechs in breathing session! 🧠🫁🐁🐟
We are very excited about our meeting! We have participants from various countries and a great program! Don't miss the chance to participate! Go to breathingforlife.org and register!
Hot off the press from Team Bird Brain @isubiology! 🐣🐤🧠🔬We describe chloride's role in the pH sensitivity and plasticity of brainstem breathing rhythms @devpsybio 🐤🐣🧠onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/de…
ATTENTION!!! The cost of the meeting will rise on July 1. The chances of incorporating your work in the program will become less feasible because the programming committee will make most of its decisions during July 1-8.
The deadline for submitting your abstract is getting closer! But why should you submit an abstract at all? Good question. We put together a list of five reasons why you definitely should not miss this opportunity.
This week on the #ISpyPhysiology blog, APS member @FornekJessica discusses how artificial light (such as street lights) affects birds' brains: ow.ly/JsrZ50Shhqs
The editorial board of @physiol_journal is holding an essay contest for students and postdocs. How do you tell nonscientists about your work, convey why it motivates you and why should others care about your science? Learn more and enter by 9/9: ow.ly/iGEs50RYxeq
Only two days left to register at early bird price!! Follow this link to register NOW: event.fourwaves.com/inrc-2024/regi… Hope to see you all this summer at INRC2024! Download our INRC2024 program here : static1.squarespace.com/static/5bbf6cf…
