We hope you will be able to join our group in welcoming Kyle this Friday evening at 5:30 in 1102 Molecular Biology. Please let Trish know whether you can come for supper and conversation. Hope to see you there!
Spring Thesis Seminars Scheduled (1/31/07 kmw)
The Graduate Thesis Office has announced three Thesis Seminar sessions for students planning to submit a thesis this spring. Interested support staff and faculty also are welcome to attend.

Tuesday, February 27, 11:30am-12:30pm, 1105 Pearson Hall
According to the Thesis Office, "the seminar will cover ETD thesis preparation procedures, requirements, and recommendations, as well as the methods required for submitting on-line with the fewest problems. The Thesis Requirements website will have updated links and information for spring semester by February 17." Additional sessions are planned for later this semester and also for next summer.
Space is limited, so please sign up by e-mailing Linda Thorson to reserve a place.
February"First Thursday" to be Held February 8 (1/31/07 kmw)
It turns out that many first-year students have a major exam on Friday, February 2, so we're postponing this month's First Thursday until the second Thursday, February 8. The event will be a lot more fun if we're not hyperventilating, right? If you can join us for First Thursday on the eighth, please let Trish know so she can plan the food. Hope to see you there! (And good luck on that exam!)
Joe Song to present February 1 Baker Center Seminar (1/26/07 kmw)
Dr. Joe Song from New Mexico State University's Department of Computer Science will present A discrete dynamic system model for gene interaction in response to bioethanol conversion inhibitor HMF for ethanologenic yeast at 2:10pm Thursday, February 1, in the Alliant Energy-Lee Liu Auditorium in Howe Hall. All are invited to the seminar, which is part of the Baker Center Seminar Series.
New Mexico State University is our IGERT project partner, and some of you will remember Dr. Song from last summer's Joint Bioinformatics Symposium as well as from last Fall's Systems Biology class. Following Thursday's seminar, students will have an opportunity to meet Dr. Song at a special student reception in room 20 Howe Hall. Stop by to say hello!
