The Columbia University Seminar on Appetitive Behavior |
|
September 3, 2009 Dear Colleague: The Columbia University Seminar on Appetitive Behavior will be continuing its 38th year (its birth date was March 9, 1972), September 17, 2009. I am continuing as Chairman, and Kathleen Keller will continue as Rapporteur. Abstracts of some seminars will be published in Appetite as Short Communications (up to 5000 words), provided they meet the usual criteria for publication. This year's speakers will provide a blend of human and animal studies from a variety of perspectives. We also have a number of younger speakers. These seminars have traditionally benefited younger investigators by providing them with good feedback, while at the same time giving experienced investigators an opportunity to share their knowledge. A final schedule for 2009-2010 accompanies this letter. Please note the dates for future reference. With the cooperation of the speakers we will try to add an academic dimension to the dinners. Please join for some interesting discussion. Please note that our time is continuing as it was last year. WE WILL MEET AT 4:30 PM. We will also return to our traditional venue at the Columbia University Faculty House, reached from 116th Street between Morningside and Amsterdam Aves. As in the past I will prune the mailing list to include only those who regularly attend (i.e. attend at least half the meetings). Those who still wish to receive notices and minutes on a monthly basis, but who are not regular attendees, should inform me by OCTOBER 1, 2009. For those who do not, and are not regular attendees, this may be the last notice you will receive. We now have 100% of our mailing list on e mail. If your e-mail address changes or you wish to be dropped notify apsem@columbia.edu. As of now, we believe that parking arrangements will be the same as previous years, with parking permits available for the Engineering Terrace at 119th and Amsterdam. We expect the cost to be around $15-$20. If you wish parking, our rapporteur will e-mail a permit. I hope to see as many of you as possible, in what promises to be another great year. Sincerely, Harry R. Kissileff, Ph.D.
