This is the International Gap Junction Conference held in Glasgow Scotland. It is a meeting for researchers all over the world that come together and discuss scientific findings related to the molecular complex gap junctions and it's constituent connexin proteins. The subject of this conference is perfectly in line with my research, while my abstract was already accepted by the conference committee. I fortunately was given the opportunity to present a poster here.

It is very important for me to get experience presenting my work in either poster of oral forms and this conference allows me to do this. Expert feedback from the best researchers in my field is critical for future success in my field. Gaining a rapour, speaking to them in person about my work, how I can improve, what I'm doing right or wrong is an invaluable experience.

Also this conference is an opportunity for me to learn about cutting edge, up to date, unpublished research in my field, filling me with ideas I can use to advance my own research in a competitive academic environment.

The expenses exceeds $1500, so any support will be very much appreciated. The flight alone was over a $1000 and the hotel expenses were $900.
