This message is great content for an OWW "coming events" section, something
we don't really have. Boy.. we could even schedule out monthly meetings
using it... it could be a great resource for people looking for info on
biological or lab science events in their area... maybe it would be a
resource others would come to rely upon....

Nah...


Maybe...

We can use the Calendar extension to create one.

An event might look something like this... (now in place but subject to
change)

[[Event:Events By Date/2008/06/03|Royal Society Meeting: Future of Synthetic
Biology in the UK]]

Please push it around and see if anyone can do anything less geeky that I
would do with the design.

Dear colleague,

The Royal Society is planning a seminal discussion meeting on Synthetic
Biology to discuss the future of this emerging area in the UK.  The
programme is being organised by Professor Brian Spratt FRS, Dr Jason Chin,
Professor Richard Kitney and Professor Paul Freemont and will be held at the
Royal Society in London on Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 June 2008.

The meeting aims to capture the recent developments in this rapidly
developing field and to look at potential applications of synthetic biology.
The meeting should help to clarify the wider issues associated with
synthetic biology and how these might be addressed.  We anticipate this
being a very popular meeting.
A report of the meeting will be produced by the programme organising
committee that will capture the major developments, applications and issues
identified at the discussion meeting.
We would be grateful if you could distribute this information and list it on
your department website, if you think appropriate. Many thanks in advance.
Royal Society scientific discussion meeting announcement
Synthetic Biology - Monday 2 – Tuesday 3 June 2008
Organised by Professor Brian Spratt FRS (Imperial College London), Dr Jason
Chin (University of Cambridge), Professor Richard Kitney (Imperial College
London) and Professor Paul Freemont (Imperial College London)

Synopsis:
Synthetic biology has been described as the design and construction of novel
artificial biological pathways, organisms or devices, or the redesign of
existing natural biological systems.

It has developed from the convergence of other disciplines such as systems
biology, genetic engineering, engineering, information theory, physics,
nanotechnologies and computer modelling.
This meeting will discuss advances and applications of this exciting
technology.
Speakers include:
Dr Jason Chin, Professor Martin Fussenegger, Professor Phil Holliger, Dr
Farren Isaacs, Professor Jay D. Keasling, Professor Alex Ninfa, Professor
Steve Oliver, Dr Georg Seelig, Professor Pamela Silver, Dr Danielle
Tullman-Ercek, Professor Hans Westerhoff and Dr Lingchong You

Registration:
The meeting is free to attend but pre-registration online is essential. The
online registration form and programme is available at
www.royalsociety.org/events


Kind regards
