The NWRCM per se will begin at 3pm on Thursday, March 24, following the FICCS computational cytometry meeting. The Thursday session is followed by an evening reception dinner. The NWRCM continues Friday and Saturday morning. Complimenting the plenaries is a full array of vendor talks, panel discussion on relevant informatic developments, and technical symposia. The full roster and schedule of events is due to be posted soon. Online registration is at http://www.ohsu.edu/ohrc .

In addition to the NWRCM per se, the meeting is an umbrella for a number of other events. Already mentioned is the FICCS computational cytometry meeting on the 24th. Contact Raphael Gottardo or Ryan Brinkman gro.SCCIF|ofnita#gro.SCCIF|ofnita<mailto:[e-mail]> for more information on the FICCS meeting. Also FloCyte will be holding two courses, “Data analysis” on the 24th, and a new one, “Standardization, validation, characterization, and controls” on the 26th, both taught by Dr. Tim Bushnell. A 10% discount is available if also registered for the NWRCM. Finally, a free, half-day cytometry workshop for middle and high school teachers, including lecture and hands-on activities, will be held on the 26th.

Mark your calendars. As always, the NWRCM will be busy, thought-provoking, and useful. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the coordinator at ude.usho|emlehcak#ude.usho|emlehcak<mailto:[e-mail]> . Thanks.
