I am pleased to tell you that Simon Eaton, Victor Zammit, Rona Ramsay and Mike Titheradge have kindly agreed to be co- organizers. I have enclosed below (unformatted) a copy of the draft programme for the 4 days for your information but please look at the Society's websites for further details ........ The programme and more details about the main meeting are available at: http://www.biochemistry.org/meetings/programme.cfm?meetno=672 and the Regulation in Metabolism and Molecular Enzymylogy Group pages are at: http://www.biochemistry.org/groups/regmet/default.htm and http://www.biochemistry.org/groups/meg/default.htm Because the Meeting is part of the Society's main Sussex Meeting we have only been able to invite a limited number of "established" speakers to give formal research lectures (40 min) during the 3 days of the main colloquium, unlike at our previous meetings where we have encouraged everyone to present their research. For this reason we have decided also to hold a "Pre-doctoral Day" on Monday, December 18th. This is to allow us to invite PhD students (10 min slots) and unestablished post-doctoral scientists (20 min slots) to present their research to the Meeting and for all of the other delegates to join in the discussions and to present posters. We hope to be able to offer a contribution to costs to all the Monday speakers (The sum will depend on the final level of sponsorship and the number of participants.) and to publish "in house" a paperback of short papers from all their talks and from delegates presenting relevant posters at the Colloquium. The speakers from the main 3-day Meeting will be asked to prepare and submit research manuscripts to be published separately in the Biochem. Soc. Trans. as is usual for the Society's colloquia. We hope that all the speakers and participants of the 3-day Colloquium will attend the Pre-doc day and consider it as an essential part of the same meeting. We would like to ask you to: 1. propose by e-mail (as soon as possible to Patti.A.Quant@btinternet.com) names and give contact details of members of your research groups or other outside PhD students/Post-docs. who (you think) would be willing and able to speak on the Monday; 2. tell us as soon as possible if you would like accommodation (please give numbers) for the nights of Sunday 17th and/or Monday 18th and/or the 19th and 20th; 3. let us know if you intend submitting a poster(s)/manuscript(s) for the Pre-doc and/or the 3-day Meeting and 4. suggest other potential delegates who are not on the e-mail list and who might be interested in attending the Pre-doc Day and/or the rest of the Colloquium. Thank you for your interest, help and support. I shall look forward to hearing from you.
