<p class=MsoNormal>Hi!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I was searching for a contact on your website, but couldn&#8217;t
find one.&nbsp; The Genetics Society of America has a newsletter, GENEtics,
that is published 3X a year &#8211;next issue is in May &#8211; and from
time-to-time we have something about a model organism database in our issues
(see <a href="http://www.genetics-gsa.org/pages/newsletter.shtml">http://www.genetics-gsa.org/pages/newsletter.shtml</a>,
Jan. 2005, p. 5 and Jan. 2008, p.13 for examples) ranging from 100-600
words.&nbsp; Is there someone who would be interested in writing something up
about GMOD &#8211; maybe a recent update or something else you would like to
highlight &#8211; for our next issue?&nbsp; Say, 100-300 words, deadline April
3<sup>rd</sup>.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I look forward to hearing from you.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
