Dear Members of the Association of Korean neuroscientists (AKN):



I hope this e-mail finds you healthy, happy, and productive (and well funded)!



This is Kwang-Soo Kim who is elected as the President of AKN. It is my greatest honor and pleasure to serve for AKN and all members. Most of all, I am so happy to work together with such great officers (Prof. Un Jung Kang at Columbia Univ as President-Elect, Prof. Young-Jin Son at Temple Univ as Secretary, Prof. Daewoo Lee at Ohio Univ as Treasurer, and Prof. Yoonsuck Choe at Texas A&M Univ as Webmater) as a team.



Enclosed please find our first announcement of our 2013 AKN meeting in San Diego http://akneuro.org/doc/akn2013.pdf, which contains important message for our meeting and the selection process of AKN outstanding research awards (for predoctoral, postdoctoral, and junior faculty). Please note that, owing to very generous sponsors, we increased the award prize from $200 to $400 for each pre- or postdoctoral awardee. I hope many of you apply for this great opportunity.

We will soon send the 2nd announcement regarding the logistics of our meeting.

I greatly look forward to meeting everyone of you in our AKN meeting!!!

Best, Kwang-Soo



Kwang-Soo Kim
