BLOG YOUR PAPER
We would like to invite TRF members to submit short summaries of their recently published articles on timing. Articles should be no longer than 500 words and not include more than one representative figure. Please submit your entries after your paper is published by emailing us at trf@timingforum.org. Submissions are open anytime and will be featured on the TRF blog page – https://timingforum.org/category/blog/.
BLOG YOUR CONFERENCE
We would like to invite TRF members to write about their experience of a timing conference/meeting/workshop that they have recently attended. Submissions can highlight prominent talks/papers presented, new methods, trends and your personal views about the conference. Pictures may also be included. Submissions should be no longer than 1000 words. Please submit your entries to trf@timingforum.org within two months from the date of the conference.
To kickstart this new initiative, we request participants at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience to share their views and highlights from timing research from the meeting.

MODULARITY IN TIMING WORKSHOP – January 19, 2017, Liverpool
Ruth Ogden and Alexis Makin are hosting a one day workshop in Liverpool (UK) to explore modularity in time perception. The aim of the workshop is to explore whether current research supports the idea of single or multiple timers. Abstracts for talks and posters are being accepted until the end of November.
Further information and registration can be found at: https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/conferences/eps-workshop.
Postgraduate students and post-docs wishing to attend can apply to the Experimental Psychology Society’s Grindley Grant scheme to fund travel and accommodation: http://www.eps.ac.uk/index.php/grindley-grants-for-conference-attendance
Please contact Ruth or Alexis if you have any questions r.s.ogden@ljmu.ac.uk
CONTRIBUTE TO TRF
TRF aims to host timing related resources, so that TRF‘s website will be the one stop for everything related to timing. Currently, the TRF website has these resources: all members’ publications, timing related special issues, and books on timing, a list of meetings focused on timing, a list of timing related societies/groups, as well as code and mentoring resources.
