I'm almost done with my grant. Yesterday I sent out a 95% completed version of my proposal to SPA (Sponsored Programs Administration - an organization that vets grants to make sure that there are no conflicts of interests and that all the proposed protocols treat human and vertebrate animals ethically - since my research uses tissue culture cells, this ain't a problem). Next I had to take care of all the other items I had been neglecting. Priority number two was the RNA Club. Here is the letter I sent out:
Hello All,The next meeting of the New England RNA Club will take place Thursday, February 21st. We will have beverages starting at 5:30PM and talks from 6:00-7:30PM in the Cannon Room of Building C at Harvard Medical School. Food and beverages will be served after the talks. Our speakers will be:
