Neuroendocrine mechanisms of seasonal adaptation
The annual change in the nocturnal production of the pineal hormone melatonin has long been known to be pivotal for the seasonal adaptation of biological functions in mammals. Valerie will discuss how this melatonin/TSH/T3 signal impacts hypothalamic circuits to synchronize various biological functions with the seasons.

FREE! Register for the ECR Day on Work-Life Balance in Academia
|
|
|
We all struggle with maintaining a healthy work-life balance in academia. During this ECR only event we will have the opportunity to discuss amongst our peers the topics that typically underpin the struggles of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Please note - you must have registered for this FREE event SEPARATELY, even if you have already registered for Exeter 2023. You cannot attend the ECR day without also having registered for Exeter 2023.

Nominations are open for our Board of Trustees and Deputy Early Career Researcher Representative
|
|
|
Would you like a say on how the BSN is run? These opportunities may be for you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The BSN is run by a Committee of Trustees, who serve fixed terms of four years on the Committee but may seek re-election at the end of any term. This year we will have three Trustee vacancies. As such we are seeking nominations for the Board of Trustees.
|
|
|
|
|
As the ECR Trustee will automatically be replaced by the current Deputy ECR Representative, we are seeking nominations for the next Deputy ECR Representative.

Pan American Neuroendocrine Society (PANS) Early Career Researcher Symposium
31 May 2023 | 12pm EDT | Online
This symposium will focus on New Insights on Reproductive Neuroendocrinology and feature 3 fantastic ECR speakers covering topics including arcuate kisspepetin neurons, estrogen-sensitive neurons in the hypothalamus and myostatin as the main endocrine driver of collicle-stimulating hormone. The symposium will be hosted by our invited ECR Chair: Dr. Kristina Smiley (University of Massachusetts Amherst).
