(The final issue of Volume 16, the Genetic Map, is being being photocopied and will be distributed shortly; and we will be soliciting subscriptions to Volume 17 and updates to a Directory of C. elegans Researchers in a separate message.) The deadline for WBG submissions will be October 10, for a November 1 issue date. We've received some helpful comments about the Gazette, most of which were given in the spirit of keeping it alive. One suggestion was to be more forceful in our solications. We hereby encourage you to submit abstracts on any topic of C. elegans research. Abstracts on technical advances--or even things that didn't work as well as hoped--seem particularly relevant. Following an excellent suggestion received at the recent international worm meeting at UCLA, we encourage chairs of Workshops held at the meeting to send in (or perhaps ask other participants to send in) summaries of what went on during their workshops--obviously nobody could attend all, or even a majority, of the Workshops. We also solicit announcements of meetings, job openings, etc. Please submit your abstracts using Leon Avery's website: http://elegans.swmed.edu/ Thank you, Bob Herman and Theresa Stiernagle --- .
