Xenopus Community

XenCommunity

Under Construction. Edits and suggestions welcome.

• See Synthetic Biology Community Pages for ideas.
• Edit help for this section or to make your own lab wiki
• It was a wonderful meeting in Japan, especially the meeting summary given by Jerry.

Discuss and decide what we need so we can ask NIH, get involved with NIH "report" recommendations

• notes from 11th Xen Meeting: Instructions for submitting a proposal NHGRC: see 'white paper' instructions on web site (need the link)
• program announcement due Jan 18 2007, document on web site but applications that do the best produce a resource for the community and also do good science, US labs and non-US labs are considered.

Next Meeting

• will be in Germany, details TBA
• contact committee for ideas for next meeting
