Welcome new followers!I'm excited to report that I've been selected as official blogger for The American Society for Nutrition (ASN) 76th Scientific Sessions and Annual Meeting in conjunction with Experimental Biology 2012 (EB 2012) on April 21 through 25 in San Diego, Calif.
Click here for a peek at the preliminary program.
What exactly is EB 2012? The conference is a highly anticipated annual event where six scientific societies hold their joint scientific sessions and annual meetings. Besides ASN, other societies represented are: the American Association of Anatomists (AAA), the American Physiological Society (APS), the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology(ASBMB), the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP), and the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET).
The conference attracts leading researchers from several different life-science disciplines. There will be new findings presented and it is sure to be interesting!
So, for EB 2012 updates, be sure to stop by this blog during the conference April 21 through 25. You can also follow my tweets at @daviddespain.
