New York Area Worm Meeting:
 

The NYAWM is held 2-3 times/year to facilitate exchange between area laboratories using C. elegans and closely related nematodes in their research.

The meetings consist of refreshments (usually pizza) followed by 3-4 talks of 20-25 minutes in length.

Meetings are currently held in the
Weiss Research building Room 305
on the Rockefeller University campus
at 6:30 pm.
