Dear Colleagues,
With this note, I would like to draw your attention onto the traditional
Winter Meeting in Neuropathology, which is going to take place in St.
Moritz (one of the best skiing resorts in Switzerland) in March 1998, Sat
14th through Wed 18th. Next Year's meeting will be on "Growth and Death in
the Nervous System".
If you have already been at one of the former meetings (which have been
taking place for more than 30 years), you will know that the combination of
snow, skiing and science is invaluable in fostering intense interactions
between clinicians, basic scientists, and students.
Please find enclosed below a preliminary program. If you are interested,
just send me an e-mail requesting more infos. Also, we will soon set up a
web page through which you can register, send in your abstract, check the
snow conditions, etc.
With best regards
Prof. Adriano Aguzzi
