We really need your input - help us prioritize new developments and steer the future of these indispensable resources that support your Xenopus research. Take the survey today. </div><div><br></div><div>This survey also helps us get our funding, by demonstrating how many people use the resources and how valuable they are to the Xenopus community. This is a critical point in time- as the NIH, which funds databases like Xenbase, is evaluating funding and infrastructure for species-specific model organism databases.</div><div><br></div><div>We need to know:</div><div>HOW you use the various resources</div><div>WHAT you need that we aren't delivering. </div><div>HOW can we improve? </div><div><br></div><div>We need to hear from as many people as possible- everyone's input is valuable- from undergraduate students to Emeritus Professors, so everyone from every lab is invited to join in.</div><div><br></div><div>Please CLICK (or copy and paste) on the following link and fill in the Xenopus Research Resources Survey for 2016- DO IT TODAY.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Xenopusresearch">https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Xenopusresearch</a></div><div><br></div><div>Survey can also be accessed directly from the Xenbase homepage: <a href="http://www.xenbase.org">http://www.xenbase.org</a></div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to see the numbers grow!</div><div><br></div><div>Many Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Christina from Xenbase.</div><div><br></div><div><img id="7e244ca1-f50c-4e85-88ee-b1b9c3523350" height="309" width="541" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:2C8940BD-8939-4947-907D-27AA58C07E8F@chmccorp.cchmc.org"></div><div><br></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
