CONFERENCES: APA events for students, postdocs

Hello Division 20 students and postdocs, We want to let you know about some wonderful Division 20 student and postdoc events planned for the upcoming APA convention in San Francisco. On Saturday, August 18 at 5:00 p.m. we will be holding a conversation hour with Dr. Jeff Elias, former Chief of the Cognitive Aging Program in the Behavioral and Social Research Program at the National Institute on Aging (NIA). He will discuss how to identify and obtain funding in gerontological research, as well as provide useful tips for writing and grant preparation. Immediately following this event will be the annual Division 20 student and postdoc social hour. Come join us for free cocktails and appetizers at the Thirsty Bear (661 Howard Street, www.thirstybear.com). All Division 20 students, postdocs, family and friends are welcome to attend. Please kindly RSVP to Matt Shake (mshake@uiuc.edu) so that we can make appropriate arrangements for food and drinks.

We hope to see all of you in San Francisco in August! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions!

Best regards,

Jeanine Parisi, Matthew Shake, & Cory Bolkan, APA Division 20 Graduate Student and Post-doctoral Representatives jmparisi@uiuc.edu mshake@uiuc.edu bolkan@u.washington.edu ****MESSAGE ENDS HERE**** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
