The meeting will start with a BBQ on Monday evening with talks all day Tuesday and finish with a half day on Wednesday. Registration will open sometime in the Spring. Please mark your calendars.</div><div> As with previous PI meeting this meeting is geared toward faculty and senior postdocs. There will be short research talks as well as discussion groups focused on topics related to the Xenopus community. As in previous years the goals of this meeting are to enhance aspects relevant to the entire community and to foster interactions among us, with strategic planning and emerging technologies and advances in resources important to the community. This would include genome editing in Xenopus, creating mutant lines at the NXR, and what do we do next now that the Xenopus PAR has ended. These meetings have become very interactive and exciting and I think this year's meeting will be no different. I encourage all Xenopus PIs to try and attend.</div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I look forward to seeing all of you in late September. The weather should be beautiful. If you have any comments or topics for discussion please let me know.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div>Marko Horb</div><div><br></div><div><span name="x"></span>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Marko Horb, Ph.D.<br>Director, National Xenopus Resource (NXR)<br>Marine Biological Laboratory<br>7 MBL Street<br>Woods Hole, MA 02543<br><div><br></div>Email: xenopus@mbl.edu<br>Office: 508-289-7627<br>Cell: 508-564-3764<br><div><br></div>http://www.mbl.edu/xenopus<br>https://twitter.com/xenopusnxr<span name="x"></span><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
