Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurology, BU School of Medicine, Dave Greer, speaks about abstracts, what role they play in your career development, how to decide which conferences to attend and how to get the most out of them. He also touches on seizing the opportunity of networking via conferences, as well as navigating the two-way street of mentor and sponsor relationships. His approachable, pragmatic and often humorous take on how faculty can make the most of their experiences is  not to be missed!
