If it seems like a long time since we last got together………that’s because it has been. We all miss seeing one another and learning about the great things that have been going on in everyone’s laboratories/clinics/operating theaters/sourdough bread kitchens and so on throughout the pandemic. So, I am happy to announce that we have scheduled the next International Neural Tube Defect Conference to be held on Monday May 2-Wednesday May 4, 2022, at the AT&T Conference Center in Austin, Texas. We plan to have the welcome reception at Casa Finnell on Sunday afternoon May 1st. So come to Austin early, maybe spend the weekend enjoying Spring (could be Summer) weather-we have rooms blocked at the conference center for early arrivals.
We will extend the conference to the end of day on May 4th as I am sure that we have too many fascinating discoveries to share in just 2.5 days. We also want to acknowledge at this meeting the passing of our dear friend and longtime conference attendee Dr. Tim George in his most recent hometown. We will also have a special session chaired by Dr. Benny Iskandar to highlight the contributions the neurosurgeons bring to our meeting. So, mark the date and make your plans to attend! Keep up with news here on the website and share this save the date with appropriate colleagues.
See you in Austin!
Rick, Betsy, Philip, and Maitreyi
