Presentations at the ASPB meeting

[Christophe Tissier]

Hi,

I am contacting you on behalf of TAIR.
We are planning on going to the ASPB meeting in Chicago next July and
wondered whether you had any intentions on attending.
This year, TAIR (Harmut Foerster, Tanya Berardini and myself) and SGN (Lukas
Muller) are planning on a joint session that would introduce several plant
DBs and wondered whether you would be interested in sharing a slot.
The idea would be to have a 2h slot to present our databases (we're planning
on maybe four DBs, which would be roughly 30min presentations including
questions).

TAIR would be happy to run a full session on GO (what its purpose is and its
applications) and probably MetaCyc.
We thought it would make sense to have one DB covering these topics to avoid
having to repeat the same info everytime.

Each DB could thereafter have its own, more in-depth session. TAIR would
like to plan on a one hour presentation but we could be happy to share a 2h
slot with another DB. The other two could share another (assuming that one
hour is sufficient). In any case, it would probably help if we'd synchronize
our efforts to avoid all having minisymposia at the same time and to
maximize exposure.

If you have not already completed yours, the deadline for submission of the
minisymposia abstract is february 14th.
Do let me know if this sounds interesting to you and I can start contacting
the ASPB organizers for book some slots and send some abstracts.

Best regards,

Christophe
