March 23, 2009 meeting

Remember all that snow in February? Yeah, I'm trying to block it out too (and the weather this week sure is helping to expunge those memories!). Our next RBJC will be one that was canceled on February 9. Here are the details for March 23:

Place: W2303 (our regular room)
Time: 12:30 (there is another group in W2303 today up to 12:30, and no other appropriately-sized room is available -- but 12:30 works well with the BMB seminar that will run until ~12 noon anyway)

Presenter: Erin Stanley of the Zirkin lab
Paper: "Transgenerational effects of the endocrine disruptor vinclozolin on the methylation pattern of imprinted genes in the mouse sperm"
Reproduction 139:373-379

This will be our first paper (at least in a while) on endocrine disruptors. For more information, see:
