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.

Morphogenesis workshop

I would like to propose a workshop on morphogenesis. I am particularly interested in early development/gastrulation but later evens such as organ morphogenesis could also be included. I envision both technical and conceptual aspects of morphogenesis being addressed. Possibilities include: in vivo vs. in vitro assays, methods/software/microscopy techniques, defining the open questions/burning issues in the field and how best to approach them.
