The seventh VanWoRM is fast approaching!


For the 2008-2009 academic year we have proposed a restructuring of the VanWoRM organization! Check out the proposal in Microsoft Word .doc or HTML webpage format.
 
Volunteer now to give a talk at the local worm meeting formerly known as the Nematode Regional Research Review. The subject of this scientific talk will be, of course, the tiny roundworm otherwise known as Caenorhabditis elegans. Past talks have covered topics in gene expression, gene regulation, cellular development, and neurobiology.

There will be two short talks lasting around 20 minutes per talk, each followed by a question and answer session with the audience. Pizza and refreshing beverages are available afterwards at no charge, for they are kindly donated by the biotechnology companies who sponsor this event: currently Macrogen underwrites the event. A good time is usually had, and we hope to see you there!
