Slightly to a tangent to this thread, can I strongly encourage all persons producing flow cytometric data (or data from any type of cytology) to submit this work for inclusion as a poster or oral presentation at the next ISAC Congress, to be held May 4-9 2002 in San Diego. The deadline for abstracts has been extended for those wishing to be considered for Oral Presentation to 1 November 2001. After 1 November 2001, only poster presentation abstracts will be accepted. The deadline for all Poster Presentation abstracts is 15 March 2002. To submit an abstract you should go directly to: http://ams.cos.com/cgi-bin/conferenceToolkit/displayToolkit?institutionId=69 4&meetingId=64 or go to the ISAC Web site at http://www.isac-net.org, click on the green Congress button and follow the Call for Abstracts. I hope to see you all there, and this would be an excellent venue to continue this discussion!
