[Jalview-discuss] Last Call For Registrations for EMBO Visualizing Biological Data Workshop

[Jim Procter]

Hello Jalviewers - apologies for the blatant propaganda, but some of 
you, or your colleagues may be interested in the meeting below:

Dear colleagues,

we would like to remind you that November 16 is the deadline for 
registration and abstract submission for the first EMBO Workshop on 
Visualizing Biological Data (VizBi, http://www.vizbi.org), 3-5 March 
2010, at EMBL Heidelberg, Germany.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together, for the first time, 
researchers developing and using visualization systems across all areas 
of biology, including genomics, sequence analysis, macromolecular 
structures, systems biology, and imaging (including microscopy and 
magnetic resonance imaging). The workshop program includes high-profile 
speakers from each of these areas, as well as keynote talks by Ben Fry 
(Seed Visualization), Bang Wong (Broad Institute) and Chris North 
(Virginia Tech) - for details, see http://tinyurl.com/vizbi10Speakers.

We are pleased to announce that we have a limited number of student 
travel fellowships provided by the European Science Foundation - see 
http://vizbi.org for details on how to apply. Furthermore, a 15% 
discount on the registration fee is available to members of the 
International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB).

To apply to join the workshop, please go to http://vizbi.org and submit 
an abstract and image related to your work. In addition to the program 
of speakers, participants are normally required to present a poster and 
to give a 'fast-forward' presentation (limited to 30 seconds and 1 
slide). If several people are working on the same project they may use 
the same abstract to apply. However, we encourage registrants to submit 
work that reflects their own interests - and not necessarily new or 
unpublished work. But, since places are limited, we will use submissions 
to select participants whose work is most relevant to the goals of the 
workshop. Notifications of acceptance will be sent within three weeks 
after the close of submissions.

You may also submit your image for consideration for the VizBi 
Scientific Art prize. This prize will be awarded to the submitted image 
that best conveys a strong scientific message in a visually compelling 
manner.

Please forward this announcement to anyone who may be interested. We 
hope to see you in Heidelberg next spring!
