Request for Symposium Support from BSA Systematics Section (fwd)

[Toby Kellogg]

I was thinking the same thing - how about if the St. Louis crew gives a set
of talks at BSA, and so we won't worry about a formal workshop this year?

>>Dear Dr. Reiser,
>>
>>             I am sorry to inform you that the BSA Systematics Section
>>will not be able to provide funds to offset expenses for your proposed
>>symposium entitled "Biological Ontologies for Plant Biology:
>>Development and Applications."   The section is willing to 'sponsor'
>>your proposed symposium for inclusion in the scientific program, but we
>>are unable to provide funds.  BSA Systematics had a limited amount of
>>funds and an unprecedented number of funding requests from proposed
>>symposia and colloquia for the Botany 2004 conference in Snow Bird
>>Resort, Utah.
>>
>>         On behalf of the BSA Systematics Section, we thank you for your
>>proposal and we wish you good luck in the organization and presentation
>>of your symposium.
>>
>>            Best wishes,
>>                     Wayne Elisens
