[WABiG] BYOB meeting on April 27th

[J.W. Bizzaro]

Greetings,

In an attempt to hold more regular meetings (i.e., more than one), I added Drs.
Balaji Bhyravbhatla and David Lapointe of UMass Med. to the organizing
committee of WABiG.  (Actually, it was Balaji who suggested this.)

So, we're now planning to hold a "semi-informal" meeting in a couple weeks.

SPEAKER: Prof. David Hibbett of Clark U. Biology Dept.

TALK:    "Automated Phylogenetic Taxonomy"
           (30-minutes)

LOCALE:  Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives (MBI) main conference room
           25 Winthrop Street (Old St. Vincent's Hospital), West Entrance
           Worcester, MA
	 (see attached directions)

DATE:    Thursday, April 27, 2006
           5:30-7:30 PM

Since we don't have a sponsor for a buffet dinner like last time, we ask that
you bring your own beer (BYOB) or a snack, for yourself and/or someone else,
and we'll consider it a pre-meal snack.

Everyone's invited!  Bring a colleague, if they're interested in this stuff.

Immediately following David's talk (and Q&A), we'd like to spend a few minutes
discussing possibilities for future meetings and come up with some concrete
plans before we adjourn.

And thanks to Kevin O'Sullivan and Joe Gormley for the use of the MBI facilities.

See you then,
Jeff
