Re: Another proposal (Jack Homer)

Hi Jeffrey, I know you are very busy, and although I have no idea whether you received my first meeting proposal, Pm 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 two-day our 4 meeting, here at now MSU, preliminarily for a (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,

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 11 x 2 = $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

HI Jack...I see in your email you say the tentative dates for your 2 day meeting are Oct. 24 & 25...once you confirm your dates, can you please let me know? I want to have it in Jeffrey's itinerary. Thanks so much,

Hi 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

oh my...what museum? Can you give me the complete name and address! sorry...
