The 5th Annual New Mexico BRIN/INBRE meetings will be hosted by New Mexico Tech in Socorro, NM, June 1-3, 2006.

We are pleased to announce the plenary lecture will be given by Dr. Conly Rieder, Wadsworth Center in Albany, New York.  He will discuss the results of live cell studies of mitosis in vertebrates, focusing on how chromosomes move and how cells escape mitosis when they cannot satisfy the spindle assembly checkpoint.

Registration will be made through New Mexico Tech. Following is a schedule of costs per person:

  • Individuals not using campus lodging: $66.68 per person (covers only cost of food)
  • Individual using campus lodging at double rate: $14.00/per night + $66.68 per person
    Example: 1 person stays 2 nights (14.00 X 2) + 63.77 = 91.77

Also, we are pleased to run a cash bar both Thursday and Friday evenings. As you know, INBRE is unable to fund this so there will be a bar kitty at the Check-In table. We need to raise $150.00 for both nights.
