Re: Dinochicken Summit
Hi Jeffrey, I know you are very busy, and although I have no idea whether you received my first meeting proposal, I'm sending a second version with far fewer people. I would like to bring the five senior people from Georgia, Susan Chapman (Clemson Univ.), who works on chicken tails, and Hans Larsson from McGill, for a total of 7 people to mix with our 4 here at MSU, for a two-day meeting, now preliminarily (from the Doodle poll) scheduled for October 24- 25.
The reason for bringing five people from Georgia is that this group is proposing to do a bioinformatics-based approach using comparative gene expression profiling to identify likely targets and transgenic technologies to modify their expression and/or function in chicken embryos. this is really big, and a very important component for the success of this project.
Also, the post-docs I have working here at MSU have gotten the protocol to create transgenic quail, which we hope will work for most experiments.
All the best,
Jack
The budget would then be:
BUDGET
In-country airfare (Athens or Greenville): $600 x 6 = $3,600
Out of country (Montreal): $800 x 1 = $800
Hotel: $125 x 6 x 3 nights = $2,250 (one sets of people will share)
Meals: $50 x II x2= $1,100 (two lunches and two dinners would be catered)
$50 x 7 x 2 = $700 (meals for participants during travel to and from)
Transportation: $200 (transportation to and from the hotel and museum)
TOTAL: $8,650
great, check made to ??? On Wed Sep 19 2012 at 12:16 PM, wrote:

Hi Lesley, yes, it is now confirmed that the meeting will be here at the museum on the 24th and 25th of October. And, all of the invited participants have confirmed that they will attend. It would be fantastic if Jeffrey could find time to attend. Each participant will give a 15 to 20 minute talk concerning their expertise, and potential contribution to the project. Jack

Hi and Jeffrey, Our Dinochicken summit is finished and it was a big success with everyone making a plan of action. We have created a Dropbox that has all of our information in it, including biographical sketches of the participants. In addition, I will be downloading the video I took during the meeting. i had some video issues so not all the talks are on it, but you can definitely get an idea of their enthusiasm and what they think they can do. The introductory video by Nancy Manley shows what the group thinks can be done, and includes collateral impacts.
I would like to add you to the Dropbox but obviously that will mean that your email and name will be attached, so I thought maybe you would have another email address that was less conspicuous, if you are interested in accessing all this stuff. This Dropbox file is the site the group is using to interchange ideas and images, but will also be the place they file their proposals. I'm expecting to have the complete proposal package by the 12th of November.
Thanks so much for making this Dinochicken Summit possible, Pm sorry you couldn't have been here. I'm attaching a photo of the group that excludes me.
All the best,
Jack

Thank you Jack! I have passed your email along to Jeffrey. Happy to hear the summit was a success.
Will have to get back to you on the "dropbox" email question...
Take care and have a great weekend.
