1. The deadline for pre-registration for the Meeting is January 10, 2009; the registration fee will be $10 for students/technicians/postdoctoral fellows and $25 for faculty.

2. Registration and abstract submission should be made electronically. However, the check for registration will have to be sent by mail (see Registration notice) and should be received within 7 days of the email transmission.

3. EVERYONE should try to present a poster because this is an important aspect of the meeting.  Poster titles and authors will be listed on the TCRB website.
