Join us for one of the upcoming Spring 2023 CAN Research Events [pdf]. This semester's events include science talks, the SCAND Research Symposium, a visiting scientist seminar series, and more!
Joining us from Seattle Children's & University of Washington, Dr. Sara Jane Webb will be giving a talk at the IMB conference on Social and Emotional Brain (3/17). She will be available for CAN small group meetings and activities on 3/16.
Joining us from Clemson University Department of Genetics and Biochemistry, Dr. Trudy Mackay will present her work exploring the genetic basis of variation.
This virtual talent show will feature videos of children with autism sharing their talents! Join us on the virtual Zoom platform to support autistic individuals and experience the many talents of our community members.
Our annual research roundup will help us celebrate the end of the semester by sharing CAN research accomplishments. All CAN research labs are invited to sign up to give brief "flash" talks.
