We have the excellent Konrad Paszkiewicz, Thomas Laver and James Harrison to thank for hosting the next meeting in this (loosely) themed series.
The meeting will be on the afternoon of Thursday, September 5th, after the UK Genome Sciences meeting in Nottingham which I also urge you to attend!
Registration is free at this link!
Venue is the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, lecture theaters 1&2. Building 16 on the map.
