September 2010 Welcome to Bio-Log, an
online publication of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research. We list scientific seminars and symposia
in the Bio-Log is posted on the Stowers Institute Web site (www.stowers.org) monthly, and then an e-mail message announcing that Bio-Log has been posted is sent to interested individuals. If you would like to have your name added to our e-mail database, please go to the Stowers home page, click on News Center then click on mailing list and follow the instructions to register. If you have presentations or seminars to announce, please send the information to the editor of Bio-Log: crh@stowers.org . A new version of Bio-Log is posted at the beginning of each month. Announcements for the next issue should be sent to the editor by September 30.
