Baltimore, MD
Alisa Carse, PhD, Georgetown University, Washington, DC
Martha Farah, PhD, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA

Stroke, Bethesda, MD
With 4 speakers in an hour, it promises to be compressed.
I wish I could go. But the $400 registration plus travel and hotel costs is too rich for me.
