Dear all,
Bioinformatics users and researchers in Tasmania have a great opportunity to welcome an expert in genome annotation and bio-curation in the form of Dr Monica (Moni) Munoz-Torres from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.
Dr Munoz-Torres’ home page: http://www.berkeleybop.org/people/monica-munoz-torres/ Google Scholar page: https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?hl=en&user=GaQVcBAAAAAJ&view... and linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monimunozto/
Dr Munoz-Torres is able to travel to Hobart to deliver two workshops on 10th/11th of July this year (a Monday and Tuesday) on Genome Annotation and Open Science Bio/curation. EMBL-ABR(whose Deputy Director, Vicky Schneider, is cc’d) is coordinating an Australian tour by Dr Munoz-Torres, which will cut costs considerably, but in order for us to afford to bring her here we will to raise some funds!
Please can I get a very quick show of hands, of people who would with high probability (at least 80%) pay up to $100 for a two-day workshop? The more we can get, the lower will be the total cost. I estimate we need to raise around $1650 which means at least 16.5 people :)
I need to know as soon as possible so we can grab this opportunity – do let me know if you’re seriously interested!
Best wishes Mike
