Following requests from some potential attendees we have extended the early bird registration deadline for the GARNet206: 'Innovation in the Plant Sciences' meeting until Friday August 5th! http://garnet2016.weebly.com/registration.html At the current time we are already excited to welcome over 80 delegates to Cardiff for this meeting which will provide outstanding scientific content and superb networking opportunities. The meeting takes place at Cardiff University on September 6th and 7th, with an exciting list of speakers including Chris Town, Ben Scheres, Cathie Martin, Katherine Denby, Stefan Kepinski, Nicola Patron and Niko Geldner. The meeting is deliberately broad-based to be of interest to a wide range of delegates who wish to discuss the exciting technological developments that are occuring in the plant sciences. We are also hosting 3 workshop sessions that will allow for in-depth discussion of techniques surrounding translation of your research into wheat, development of new genomic tools within the Araport platform and use of gene-editing technologies. http://garnet2016.weebly.com/scientific-programme.html Along with excellent science, GARNet2016 will have relaxed social atmosphere with an inclusive poster session and evening event taking place in the shadow of the Principality (nee Millennium Stadium). It will be great fun! Meeting registration is £110 for PhD student/postdocs and there is cheap accommodation available at Cardiff University. http://garnet2016.weebly.com/registration.html Please contact Geraint Parry ([log in to unmask]) for more information. -- Please encourage your colleagues to sign up for the ArabUK Newsgroup.
