Message from the Editor

Hello everyone,

Thanks to all of you who participated in our annual meeting in San Diego. We had a West coast record attendance of 1607 that included 79 SOBP travel awardees. The plenaries were outstanding, as were the symposia and posters. We continue to be the major scientific organization fostering the growth of the next generation of behavioral and clinical neuroscientists and the number of younger attendees was truly inspiring. Congratulations to Paul Holtzheimer and Kerry Ressler for their leadership in organizing the scientific program and to Maggie Peterson, Mimi Macke, and Sarah Timm and John White (Parthenon) as well as SOBP Council for managing all of the logistics and planning. In sum, we had another great conference!
