Meeting Report: NeuroFrance 2023 Cassandre Vielle Thesis Report

Summary

As a young graduate researcher with several unpublished papers, it's hard to convince my peers to grant me a postdoc fellowship. It's been now 6 months since my post-doc ended. I'm taking advantage of this career break to write manuscripts for future publication and applications for post-doctoral fellowships. Thanks to the French Neuroscience Society and the Tianqiao & Chrissy Chen Institute, I received a prize for my thesis work, which should give me the professional recognition I need to get a postdoctoral fellowship. What's more, I am delighted and grateful to know that I have the support and recognition of my peers for a piece of work that I am so passionate about. Thank you very much for your support. As an added bonus, I have been invited to the NeuroFrance 2023 meeting, organized by the French Neuroscience Society, which took place at the Lyon Convention Centre, located in the heart of the Cité Internationale in Lyon, on May 24th-May 26th. NeuroFrance meeting, which takes place once every two years, is fairly general, bringing together neuroscientists from all over the world and from all disciplines -clinicians, psychologists as well as molecular researchers – to share their last discoveries and ideas. Outstanding plenary and special sessions, symposia and poster presentations followed one another over the three days. For me, it was an opportunity to find out about the latest work on addiction, neuromodulation techniques and social behaviour, but also to discover other areas of research, like spatial navigation and neurograstronomy.
