From owner-schistosoma@net.bio.net Mon Jan 06 22:00:00 1997 Path: biosci!daresbury!not-for-mail From: daj@nhm.ac.uk (david johnston) Newsgroups: bionet.organisms.schistosoma Subject: WHO Schisto Genome Network- call for participants in 1997 Meeting Date: 7 Jan 1997 12:38:16 -0000 Lines: 54 Sender: lpddist@mserv1.dl.ac.uk Distribution: bionet Message-ID: <5atg3o$p62@mserv1.dl.ac.uk> Original-To: schisto@dl.ac.uk Dear Schistosome Researchers, a Happy New Year to everyone. This message is to announce that WHO has asked me to arrange a meeting of the Schistosome Genome Network for late spring/early summer 1997, i.e. to be held before the deadline for applications to the next funding round (Late June/July time). As I am sure you are aware, we are now into the third year of funding for the initiative and the original set of grants funded at the start of the Initiative are due to finish at the end of 1997. This makes the forthcoming meeting especially important in terms of discussing the priorities and strategies to be adopted for the next few years of the Initiative. WHO have provided a sum of money to sponsor our Meeting and obviously we want to bring as many of the current PIs and new, interested groups together as possible with the available funds. I am therefore writing to you to try to determine the optimal time and location for the meeting. At Ouro Preto last year, it was suggested that we could hold a joint meeting with the Filarial Network. They are likely to be holding their Meeting at Woods Hole, immediately before or after the Parasite Immunology Meeting (late April). Do we wish to try to join up with them or would another time/venue be more convenient? If you are interested in participating in the Genome Network Meeting, please could you contact me as soon as possible and let me know (1) if you have any preferences with respect to the timing and location of the Meeting, (2) if you have any strong opinion on whether a joint meeting with the Filarial Network should be held, and (3) if you were already planning to attend the Woods Hole Parasite Immunology Meeting. With very best wishes for successful collaboration and significant progress in 1997. David Johnston. Secretary to the WHO Schistosome Genome Network. David A.

These attempts to grab free advertising > are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net > terminology.
