[RASMB] GRC Preliminary Program Announcement

[Karen Fleming]

Dear RASMB Colleagues,

Mark your calendars for the 2010 Gordon Research Conference on  
Biomolecular Interactions & Methods. This GRC was formerly known as  
the "RASMB GRC", and it  mixes “methods” experts with “systems”  
scientists working on compelling biological problems. The sub-theme  
for 2010 is Protein Interaction Dynamics, and this ranges from  
systems dynamics all the way down to molecular analysis of Kinetics  
and Thermodynamics. The conference dates are 17-22 Jan 2010 at the  
Hotel Galvez in Galveston, TX. The emerging program can be found at:

Hot Topics Short Talks:
To ensure that the hottest topics will be covered, we will be  
choosing additional talks for each session from the submitted  
abstracts. Be sure to submit your abstracts early as we will be  
making these selections in the next few months.

Lively Poster Session
Of course, we are planning to continue the tradition of a lively  
poster session.

New this year is an accompanying meeting:
Gordon-Kenan Research Symposium (GRS) on Biomolecular Interactions &  
Methods.

http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2010&program=grs_bioint

The GRS a meeting organized for and by student and postdoctoral  
scientists. It formalizes the long tradition of the "illegal" student  
session we have previously organized on thursday afternoons.  
Professor Carlos Bustamente will give a keynote address at the GRS,  
and all of the remaining oral presentations will be student/ 
postdoctoral talks that are selected from the GRS abstracts. Note  
that the registration deadline to be considered for a talk in the GRS  
is mid-September. Session moderators at the GRS include selected  
speakers from the main GRC, which will provide additional networking  
opportunities for young scientists. Finally, the GRS organizers are  
also putting together a career panel with scientists from academia  
and industry.

We hope that students who attend the GRS will also attend the GRC,  
and we think the GRS will make this a much more productive and  
enjoyable meeting experience. The GRS takes place in the same  
location (Hotel Galvez) from 16-17 Jan 2010. Questions about the GRS  
should be directed to the GRS co-chairs Dr. Ann Marie Stanley  
(annmarie at hms.harvard.edu) or Rachel Farrow (rfarrow at nimr.mrc.ac.uk).

On behalf of the entire BIM GRC organizing committee, I'm looking  
forward to seeing you all there.
