The conference is full, and registration is now closed. We will have emails out to speakers, posters, travel fellowships, and other attendees shortly. Please make sure that we have you as speaking vs. posters vs. not if that was the intention. Email us as soon as possible if there is any problem. We are finalizing the program, but expect that we will be able to meet everyone’s requests. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. David Pollock

I thought I would throw out a question to inaugurate the “protein evolution” blog page, hopefully ignite discussion as we begin to register.
