For the fourth straight year, we are holding Metroplex Day which is a joint collaboration among The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, The University of Texas at Arlington, and The University of Texas at Dallas. The goal of this one-day event is to highlight the great science that is being conducted at the three UT-Institutions in North Texas, as well as to facilitate future collaborations. It is designed to create a greater awareness of interdisciplinary biomedical - related (broadly defined) research, as well as to promote even greater collaborations among scientists. The goal is to stimulate thoughts about scientific opportunities where the biobehavioral and physical sciences overlap.

This Academic Year, it is being held on Friday, March 5, 2009 at The University of Texas at Dallas. The events of the day are open to all faculty, students, scientific staff, and trainees at DFW colleges and universities.

Registration is free, but required, because we need accurate headcounts to order refreshments and lunches. Lunch and parking will be free. Please register/submit poster title at our website http://www.uta.edu/metroplexdays/ by Feb. 27th.
Registrants are encouraged to present (4' x 4' max) posters on the following topics (there will be a $200 prize awarded for the best poster in each category):

• Biobehavioral Factors in Physical and Mental Health Disorders
