Dear EMBL alumni in Spain and Portugal
As many of you may know, the EMBO meeting is scheduled to take place in Barcelona from September 4-7. We'd like to take advantage of the fact that several ex-EMBLers will be at the event to organize the 6th meeting of the EMBL Alumni Association's Iberian local chapter. The exact date and schedule are still to be determined, but we'd appreciate if you could get back to us and let us know...
- if you would be interested in attending
- and if you'd like to give a short talk about your work
Please let us know if you think you'll be able to make it by Thursday, July 22 at the latest.
Many thanks
Sarah Sherwood and Luis Serrano
(co-organizers of the local chapter meeting)
