Join us for one of the upcoming Fall 2023 CAN Research Events [pdf]. This semester's events include the CAN Trainee CV Panel and Workshop, visiting scientist
Dr. Susan White, community engagement events, and more!
Starting in September 2023, we will begin hosting 3 weekly science meetings each month
for CAN Research Center members (faculty, trainees, undergraduates, staff). The goal
of these meetings are share and update each other on research progress -- including
new findings, new or upcoming grant submissions, and a space to discuss research obstacles
and successes. We anticipate each virtual meeting to be ~30 minutes of presentation
and ~30 minutes for discussion.
All meetings are held virtually from 8-9am. Email can@sc.edu to learn more and attend!
The CAN Research Center invites eminent scholars in autism and neurodevelopmental
disorders to share their research with the USC community.
