I attach a PDF with more information. Xenopus researchers are encouraged to apply if you would like to come and use NXR resources (or MBL resources) for your research. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>In the past two summers there have been 10 awards given to Xenopus researchers. The summer is an exciting time at the MBL and you have the opportunity to interact with a number of different investigators from around the world. In addition, the MBL is now offering fellowships for more junior investigators. Overall, the MBL has been very happy with the researchers coming to the NXR these past two summers and are expecting more applications from Xenopus researchers. The awards cover your housing for the time you are here. So if you’d like to come and do some X. tropicalis work, use the various transgenic lines or create some mutant lines then take advantage of this opportunity.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Please visit the webpage for more details about the application.
