EBRL at Annual Cognitive Neuroscience Society Meeting 2026

Earlier this month members of EBRL attended the annual meeting for the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS). Each year the Cognitive Neuroscience Society holds a meeting in the spring to gather top minds in the field of neuroscience to share the latest in research. These meetings are filled with guest speakers, symposiums, poster sessions, and awards. Academic conferences like these can be a key component in research; allowing researchers to connect with each other and challenge their preconceived notions. By all accounts, our PhD and Post-Doctoral researchers had a lovely time learning from their fellow neuroscientists and presenting their own research to their peers. This years CNS meeting was held in Vancouver, BC, Canada on March 7-10th, 2026. If you’d like to find out more about the Cognitive Neuroscience Society or their annual meeting, I encourage you to check out their website here. We might even see you at the next annual meeting on March 20-23rd, 2027 in Boston, Massachusetts!

EBRL Goes Down Under!

A scientific conference on reading hosted in Australia? Sign us up! Each year the Society for the Scientific Study of Reading hosts a scientific conference to gather minds from across the globe that each have one thing in common: the study of reading. This year, members of EBRL were lucky enough to go and even present! EBRL’s own Emily Harriott and Caden Carter were able to present posters and Andrea Burgess gave a talk. We always enjoy chances to meet other scientists in research and expand our knowledge. (And being able to do it in such a beautiful location isn’t bad either!)

Vanderbilt Kennedy Center Science Day

— Tuesday, November 1, 2022

Each year, hundreds of students and academics from across Vanderbilt pull together and present their research during a sweeping day of science and research. This year’s VKC Science Day held the distinction of being the first time the event was held in person since 2019. More than 100 presenters demonstrated their work across two consecutive poster sessions while judges roamed and assessed their presentations.

During VKC Science Day EBRL’s own Andrea Burgess won the Poster Competition under the Systems Neuroscience category with her poster: “Executive function-related neural activity and connectivity during word reading predict later reading ability”
