We hope you will find many items of interest in the new issue of Ascidian News, now on our website http://nsm.fullerton.edu/~lamberts/ascidian/ (Please excuse a few minor formatting glitches if you print it. Preparing web pages is still something of a mystery to me.) There are 118 new publications listed (Please send us a copy; we read them all and use them not only for our own work but in answering the many questions we get for advice and help) plus many abstracts from recent meetings. A complete list of participants at the October Intl. Urochordate meeting in Carry le Rouet, France with titles and abstracts of the talks and posters can be found at http://nsm.fullerton.edu/~lamberts/ascidian/UromeetingAbstracts.html There are also a number of other contributions in this issue of AN, including an announcement by Dr. Hitoshi Sawada of the 4th Intl. Symposium on the Molecular and Cell Biology of Egg- and Embryo-Coats to be held Nov. 2004 in Japan. See the newsletter for details and contact information. We very much welcome your comments. Thanks to all of you who wrote in support of continuing AN; it is a lot of work but worth it when we know that many people still find it useful. Best wishes for a productive and happy new year.
