Hi all,

O'Reilly is holding another Bioinformatics conference. They have a slot
for a Biopython presentation. Free admission to speakers. Any takers?

Call For Participation:
The 2004 O'Reilly Life Science Informatics Conference
February 9-12, 2004
Westin Horton Plaza, San Diego, CA, USA
http://conferences.oreilly.com/lsicon/

With two successful conferences focused on bioinformatics behind
us, O'Reilly & Associates is putting a new twist on the 2004
event: we're expanding its scope to reflect the evolutionary
changes happening in the field of life science informatics. If
you're a biologist, computer scientist, software engineer,
mathematician, or an expert in another related field, we invite
you to submit proposals to lead tutorial and conference sessions
at the 2004 O'Reilly Life Science Informatics Conference. Proposals
are due September 1, 2003.

The O'Reilly Life Science Informatics Conference brings together
practitioners from biology, molecular biology, computer science,
pharmacology, medicine, software engineering, chemistry, and
mathematics for four days of information exchange, learning, and
fun. The conference begins with one day of tutorials, providing
background information or deep coverage of important issues in
life science informatics. Three days of conference sessions follow,
exploring topics in life science--from the fundamental levels to
the advanced-- and highlighting the technologies, techniques, and
tools used to understand and analyze biological data. Confirmed
keynote presenters include Howard Cash of Gene Codes Corporation
and Thure Etzold of LION bioscience Ltd.

Since practicality is a conference theme, we'd particularly like
to see proposals that highlight case studies, best practices for
a tool or system, and fundamental skills. We'd also like to learn
from things that didn't work for you. Topics of specific interest are
systems biology, drug discovery, advanced sequence analysis,
cheminformatics and chemogenomics, biomedical informatics, open
source efforts, ontologies, controlled vocabularies, taxonomies,
standards, and tools and techniques.

The O'Reilly Life Science Informatics Conference will also feature
a poster session, for which we are accepting proposals.

For complete details on specific topics and areas of interest,
and to submit a proposal, go to:
