Ver Midi IX

Every year in January, French worm groups have a one day meeting called Ver Midi.  The goal of this meeting is to get French C. elegans researchers together to discuss recent technological developments and epecially to give a chance to young students and researchers to present their work.  This meeting is open to anyone interested in attending. 

We are pleased to announce that the VER MIDI IX meeting will be held on January 13, 2006 at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris (http://www.ens.fr/index_en.php). VER MIDI IX will be hosted by the Bessereau lab and co-organized with Bernard Lakowski.

Talks can be given in French or English, but we encourage people to have slides and posters in English to facilitate communication with non French speakers.  Anyone interested in attending the meeting should contact Valérie Robert (vrobert@biologie.ens.fr). Deadline to submit a presentation is December 12, 2005. No registration fee nor abstract is required.
