  • Information for presenters:  a projector will be available for powerpoint presentations. Please provide your own computer.
  • Sponsors for the meetings in the past were drawn from area companies and academic departments. If you have ideas for how to sponsor a meeting or people who may be interested in establishing a small foundation to keep the meetings happening in perpetuity, please contact Jane Hubbard or Shai Shaham.
  • If a C. elegans talk is scheduled at your area institution, please inform Cathy Savage-Dunn so that community can be notified.
  • Any other comments or inquiries can be sent to the co-organizers.
