LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear SSPD member,
This year, the SSPD will sponsor two events:
- an evening session at the annual meeting of the American Society
for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) (June 4
- 8) in Boston.
- an evening session at the annual meeting of the Society for
Neuroscience (November 4-9, 2000) in New Orleans.
I hope you will participate in one or both of these events.
The evening session at the ASPET meeting in Boston
is scheduled for Wed, June 7. The deadline for receipt of
abstracts, which should be sent to the Secretary-Treasurer, Jenny
Wiley, is April 15, 2000. Attending the Boston meeting promises
to be of special interest to behavioral pharmacologists, because
this will be the first year that the newly formed Division of Behavioral
Pharmacology will participate in the ASPET meeting, and because
the Behavioral Pharmacology Society (BPS) is organizing a meeting
in Boston on June 2–3, immediately before the ASPET meeting.
The specific date for the evening session at the annual
meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in New Orleans will be decided
in the next few months.
Thanks to the efforts of Ian and Dominic Stolerman,
the Past-President, Charles France, and the Secretary-Treasurer,
Jenny Wiley, the SSPD now has its own web site (www.sspd.org.uk).
Please visit our site for further details about this year's events
as they become available.
I would like to thank Charles and Jenny for all the
work they did for the SSPD in 1999, and for organizing a very successful
symposium (entitled "Drug Discrimination, A Unique Tool in Drug
Discovery") during the 1999 EBPS/BPS meeting in Boston, and an evening
session at the 1999 Neuroscience meeting in Miami Beach.
Traditionally of an informal nature, SSPD evening
sessions have come to be known as excellent opportunities for science
and socializing. I hope you will consider submitting a paper for
presentation at one or both of the evening sessions in 2000, and
look forward to seeing you in Boston and in New Orleans.
Yours sincerely,
Wouter Koek, Ph.D.
President
