Call for teaching posters for the 2005 International C.

[jlissemore at jcu.edu]

The deadline for submitting abstracts for the 2005 International C. 
elegans
Meeting is approaching so I want to take this opportunity to ask for 
submission
of abstracts that deal with the use of C. elegans in teaching (abstract
deadline is midnight on Tuesday, March 22, 2005, U.S. East Coast time).
Abstracts for teaching posters are to be submitted using the same 
mechanism for
submitting research poster abstracts on the meeting web site
<http://www.genetics-gsa.org/genetics/Celegans/>. Be sure to check 
"Teaching"
on the list of session topics when you submit your abstract.

I ask that anyone using C. elegans in any aspect of teaching (lecture, 
lab, or
other) consider making a poster to maximize exposure and dissemination 
of ideas
at the meeting.  Please don't think that your uses of C. elegans in 
teaching
may be too simple to share; your "simple" idea may not have occurred to
everyone!  I have requested that the teaching posters be grouped 
together in
the abstract book and at the poster session where they may stay up for 
the
length of the meeting.

If you presented a teaching poster at a previous International C. 
Elegans
Meeting, I ask you to consider updating your poster or even presenting 
the
original poster if it has not been updated.  Teaching ideas are rarely
published so "recycling" a poster will likely present your ideas to at 
least
some folks who did not see it at a previous meeting.

I would also appreciate if anyone considering presenting a teaching 
poster
would let me know so that I can get a rough count of the number of 
teaching
posters.

Finally, teaching workshops are also being planned for the meeting. 
Details
will follow at a later date.
