The upcoming Thrust level seminar schedule is below. Investigators: emails went out March 14th with requests for progress reports (due April 14th) and information about Y5 budgeting. We’ve just received today a revised annual reporting template from NSF that will slightly alter how you report some activity. Brent will be in touch directly with details. Please hold on your calendars (calendar invites were sent in February) the week of June 9-13 for the annual EMBRIO Summer School (Mon-Wed) and Annual Meeting (Thurs-Fri). A forthcoming poll will solicit input from all members regarding formats and topics. This year we are announcing both Best Paper and Best Scientific Figure Competitions – please see the attached announcements – deadline for Best Paper submission is April 9th, and Best Scientific Figure is June 1st. EMBRIO is participating in the Q-Bio Symposium: “Harnessing Complexity, Revealing Simplicity” happening on Friday, April 11th at University of Notre Dame.
