Arabidopsis Conference Dates, 2004-2006

<x-flowed>Dear Fellow Arabidopsis Researchers,

The North American Arabidopsis Steering Committee (NAASC) would like to
give you some important information:

First, the dates of the next few Arabidopsis Conferences will be as
follows:

* July 11-14, 2004, Estrel Convention Center, Berlin, Germany
See [Only registered users see links. ], and watch TAIR for updates on
registration and submission deadlines
* June 14-19, 2005, Madison, Wisconsin, USA
* June 27-July 2, 2006, Madison, Wisconsin, USA

Secondly, The North American Arabidopsis Steering Committee (NAASC)
held a business meeting in conjunction with the 14th Conference on
Arabidopsis Research this summer in Madison, Wisconsin.

During the meeting, Phil Benfey, elected to the NAASC earlier this
year, was elected to be the NAASC representative on the Multinational
Arabidopsis Steering Committee (MASC), and to serve as co-Chair of MASC
for 2003-2004. As Phil now takes on the role of representation of
NAASC on MASC, Mike Sussman, formerly chair of the MASC, will step down
from this role.

It is important that members of the Arabidopsis community communicate
their concerns and needs in regard to support for Arabidopsis research,
and other issues that arise within the research community, to the
NAASC. The NAASC currently consists of:

Bonnie Bartel, Rice University ([Only registered users see links. ].edu)
Eric Richards, Washington University ([Only registered users see links. ])
Greg Copenhaver, University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
([Only registered users see links. ].edu)
Brenda Winkel, Virginia Tech ([Only registered users see links. ])
Philip Benfey, Duke University ([Only registered users see links. ])
Rob McClung, Dartmouth College ([Only registered users see links. ])

Best regards,
Rebecca Joy Jurkuta,
on behalf of the NAASC
