International Forum on Memory and Memory Disorders to Celebrate Scientific Advancements

On October 16, 2008, the Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute (BRNI) will celebrate the scientific achievements of nine renowned researchers whose discoveries have helped us better understand the aging brain, memory, and Alzheimer's disease.

BRNI is part of the West Virginia University campus in Morgantown. It was founded by U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller, who named the facility after his mother who had Alzheimer's.

The International Forum on Memory and Memory Disorders will attract researchers, pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, public servants, medical personnel, and students. Each honored scientist will speak for approximately 40 minutes. If you live in the area and would like to attend, a registration form can be found here. Amazingly, the event appears to be free.
