Next meeting:
TBA, in the Fall. Have a great summer everyone!
In the meantime....BAYM will be needing new organizers next year! Please contact us about volunteering to help keep the Boston Area Yeast Meeting going. Duties for organizers are simple:
1) Recruit speakers
2) Reserve rooms and equipment
3) Order food.
It's easy! We will help you get started, and have plenty of funds (so no need for fundraising).
Also, it's never too early to contact us about giving a talk for the 2008-2009 season. E-mail Marcelo or Dawn:
MarceloVinces: mvinces (at) cgr.harvard.edu
Dawn Thompson: dawnt (at) broad.mit.edu
Thanks!
