We were wondering if there were any faculty from the plant sciences department that would be interested in giving a 20 minute presentation in front of the BMCB and CMM departments, as well as the new ABBS students during the weekend of Sept 22 and 23. We only have a few spots open, but would love to get some plant science faculty to present their research. This could be a great way to recruit graduate students from the new class of ABBS students.<br><br>Thank You,<br><br>Ivan Dimitrov<br>BMCB/CMM retreat planning committee<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
