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.

Use of adult zebrafish

I would like to see a general workshop on use of adult zebrafish (either in conjunction with or separate from Disease Models, suggested by Steve and/or transplantations into adults, suggested by Jill). This might include one or more of the following: methods for fixation and processing of adults in whole or in part, histological methods, surgical manipulations, nerve crush (or similarly 'compromising' of other tissues) to analyze regeneration, drawing blood, testing effects of alternative housing arrangements, behavior...

I would like to add my support of this workshop as well, and I do think this would work nicely with disease models.

I think it is important for us to discuss techniques and tools. It will also be important for those of us interested in organ systems to make sure we have a great atlas or embryos older than 5 days.
