Genetics Society One-Day Meeting
Moving targets - dynamic signalling in development
Saturday 7th May 2005
International Centre for Life www.centreforlife.co.uk/">http://www.centreforlife.co.uk/
Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
Scientific organisers: Patty Kuwabara and Peter Doerner
This meeting will bring together a group of international scientists
to discuss the ways in which plants and animals integrate diverse
genetic and molecular signalling events to mediate growth, patterning
and development. The highlight of the meeting will be the delivery
of the 2005 Genetics Society Medal Lecture by Professor Phil Ingham,
Director of the Centre for Developmental Genetics at the University
of Sheffield.

PROMEGA YOUNG GENETICIST OF THE YEAR AWARD 2005
The Genetics Society is seeking nominations for the 2005 Promega
Young Geneticist of the Year Award (YGYA). The competition is open
to PhD student/recent postdoctoral graduate members of the Society
who have submitted their PhD thesis in any area of genetics between
1st January 2004 and 31st December 2004. Applications should consist
of the thesis abstract, details of any publications arising from the
work, the submission date of the thesis and a signed and sealed
envelope containing a letter of recommendation from your supervisor
and/or Head of Department. Applications should be sent to the
Honorary Secretary (john.armour@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) of the Society and
must be received by end of February 2005.
Three prizes will be awarded:
1st prize =A3600 - 2nd prize =A3400 - 3rd prize =A3200
The first prize winner will be invited to accept the award and to
give a short presentation at the Genetics Society one day meeting on
'Moving targets-dynamic signalling in development' at the Centre for
Life, Newcastle, May 7th 2005.
=46inalists in previous Promega YGYA competitions are not eligible to apply

=46OR DETAILS.
The UK Arabidopsis 2005 meeting sponsored by the Genetics Society and
the Gatsby Trust will take place on Sunday May 8 at the Institute of
Molecular Plant Sciences in Edinburgh. Full details including
preliminary programme and registration forms can be found at

There is an excellent program of international speakers. The
meeting takes place the day after the Genetics Society meeting
"Signalling Networks in Development" in Newcastle on Saturday 7 May
(details below). This meeting includes a significant content of
talks from leading plant biology researchers.
It is straightforward to travel from Newcastle to Edinburgh and take
advantage of a weekend of superb talks from leading researchers in
fine venues, for extremely cheap registration fees.
