CNS 2021 Virtual, Day 1 First Impressions

March 13, 2021

Today, we kicked off CNS 2021 with a new virtual platform, reimagining modern-day conferencing. After our opening ceremonies, which helped orient participants to the new format, we had four terrific Data Blitz sessions, with rapid-fire talks on a variety of topics, from language and memory to aging and disease. Other highlights from Day 1 included Wendy Suzuki’s motivating keynote address on the effects of exercise on cognition and a special session to honor Brenda Milner, including Nobel Laureate May Britt-Moser. All the while, participants could connect with colleagues via in-session chats, private chats, as well as in the Exhibit Hall and during the opening Poster Session.

Here is a snapshot via Twitter (#CNS2021) of some first impressions from the virtual experience:
