This meeting has been held every other year since 2011 and is focused on discussing new resources and emerging technologies. In addition, the meeting will provide a venue for graduate students, postdocs and PIs to present short talks about their research. As in past years, the costs for the meeting will be very low to encourage as many people to attend as possible. In addition, this year we have two $500 travel grants from the International Xenopus Board to support two junior attendees. </div><div> We are writing now to ask you to reserve these dates in your calendar and make plans to attend. It is an excellent time to come to the MBL at the end of the summer. If you are interested in giving a presentation please let us know. Simply send an email to the NXR (<a href="mailto:xenopus@mbl.edu">xenopus@mbl.edu</a>) and we will put you on the schedule. We will begin inviting people in the near future, but we do not want to miss anyone so please send us an email indicating that you would like to give a talk. We hope to make this an exciting meeting, and as it will be held between the Imaging Workshop and the Genome Editing workshop we are hoping for a fantastic turnout.</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>Organizing Committee (<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Marko Horb, </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Matt Good, </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Andrea Wills)</span></div><div><br></div><div><span name="x"></span><div><div><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>****************************************************************</strong></span></div><div><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>If the NXR contributed to your work please cite us in your papers.</em></strong></span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>Cite us in the acknowledgements: National Xenopus Resource RRID:SCR_013731</em></strong></span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>Cite us in your references: Pearl, E. et al "Development of Xenopus resource centers: the National Xenopus Resource and the European Xenopus Resource Center" Genesis 50, 155-163</em></strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em><br></em></strong></span></span><div><br></div></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 12pt;">-------------------------------------------------------------</span></div>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><div><br></div><div>Email: xenopus@mbl.edu<br>Office: 508-289-7627<br>Cell: 508-564-3764<br></div><div><br></div><div>http://www.mbl.edu/xenopus<br>https://twitter.com/xenopusnxr</div><span name="x"></span><br></div></div></body></html>
