The 2008 zebrafish meeting (June 25-29, Madison) will introduce workshops on specialized topics proposed by the community. These will be organized in two sessions, each with up to 5 workshops running concurrently. Workshops will last two hours, and might consist of 3 or 4 short (e.g. 15 min) talks, with extensive time for discussion.

To propose a topic, email zfmeeting@gmail.com (include name and affiliation). We will invite you to be a blog author and describe your proposal in a new post. If you want to comment on a topic, or propose a change, simply comment on the relevant post. Be warned: you may end up organizing the workshop!

We will accept new topics through 25 Jan 2008. The blog will remain open for comments through 1 Feb 2008, when the meeting organizers will choose a final list of workshop topics.

Hematopoiesis in zebrafish

Type your suggestion for a workshop topic here.

I propose a workshop on hematopoiesis in the zebrafish. There have been a
number of papers published in high-profile journals (Nature, Immunity,
Development) in the last 1-2 years on the lineage relationships and genetic
regulations of hematopoiesis in the zebrafish. There have been novel
findings, new genetic models, and new hypotheses that may significantly
advance the field (both mouse and zebrafish). The different findings from
several groups may need to be reconciled as well.
