LETTER: Dear Mycotoxin and Phycotoxin Researchers - (Dept. of Food Science and Human Nutrition, Dept. of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics)
July 31, 2008 – 5:46 pmThe chairs of the Gordon Research Conference on Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins are preparing the program for the 2009 conference. The conference will be convened at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire, June 21-26, 2009. The new location is not far from that of the 2007 GRC (Colby College, Waterville, Maine) and the change in venue will not inconvenience the traditional Satellite Workshop immediately preceeding the GRC and held at the Mount Desert Island Marine Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbour, Maine, June 19-20, 2009.
The 2007 GRC was very successful, enjoyable and well attended. Bob and Barbara would like to continue this positive trend by hosting the most worthy topics and speakers that we can find. We therefore request your participation in the planning process, and hope that schedules will permit your attendance of this valuable venue for the science of mycotoxins and phycotoxins. Please view the list of proposed session […]
