The 2026 What’s New in Atlanta Neuroscience (WNiAN) event will be held at Agnes Scott College on Tuesday, November 10^th from 6:00-8:00 PM. This year’s meeting will include “flash talks” given by researchers from Emory, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State University, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Spelman, along with a poster session, food, and of course, plenty of opportunities to socialize and connect with fellow ATL neuroscientists.

This is a terrific opportunity for trainees (undergrad, graduate, and postdocs) to present posters, especially if they plan to present at the main SFN meeting (a little extra practice never hurts!).

Attendance and poster submission are free, but require registration via this link: ACSFN What’s New In Atlanta Neuroscience Tickets, Tuesday, November 10  •  6 PM – 8 PM | Eventbrite

David Waxler, a Principal Lecturer at the Georgia State University Neuroscience Institute, has been selected to serve a three-year term as the next President of the Atlanta Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience (ACSfN). Before joining the faculty at GSU, he spent 11 years at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he was an Associate Professor of Instruction and Director of the Undergraduate Psychology Program. He also served as Outreach Coordinator for the Philadelphia Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience. Since moving to Atlanta, he has served on the ACSfN Advisory Council and has been especially involved in promoting neuroscience outreach throughout the metro area.

Our very own 2025 Atlanta Regional Brain Bee Champion has achieved remarkable success on the national and international stage. On May 3rd, 2025, Claire represented Atlanta at the USA Brain Bee National Championship, held at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Competing against champions from 48 regions, she secured first place at Nationals, earning the honor of representing the United States at the International Brain Bee (IBB).
