Neuroscience Poster Showcase & Mixer - April 24th

April 10, 2026

Please plan to join the Neuroscience Community at UC Merced on April 24th from 2:00–3:00 PM in the California Room (Welcome Center) for a fun and friendly interdisciplinary event!

 

Graduate and undergraduate students from across campus will be presenting posters showcasing their research related to neuroscience. This is a unique opportunity to explore the wide range of neuroscience work happening across different fields. Food will be provided!

If you're interested in neuroscience, this is a great chance to:

  • Meet faculty and students from different departments 
  • Learn about ongoing research programs
  • Network and make connections
  • Explore potential future opportunities

 

Come by, enjoy some food, and get inspired by the diverse world of neuroscience research on campus!

 

Following the event, we will all move over to the conference center for the annual Distinguished Cognitive Scientist Lecture and Award Ceremony. This year’s award will be presented to Sharon Thompson-Schill of the University of Pennsylvania, a leader in behavioral and cognitive neuroscience. Her talk is expected to be of broad interest, and we encourage everyone to attend!

Posters of in-progress work and those previously presented at other venues are welcome and eligible to receive an award!
