SDB would like to thank everyone for a successful
17th International Congress of Developmental
Biology/72nd SDB Annual Meeting in Cancun, Mexico.
Click here for
a report on participants, awardees, and photos from
the meeting.
Mark your calendar for the 73rd Annual SDB Meeting
to be held in Seattle July 17-21, 2014 at the
University of Washington.
 Dear
Colleagues,
New presidents of SDB have often used their initial
contribution to this forum to say how wonderful the
national meeting was (this year's was no exception)
and to thank all of the organizers for the terrific
job they did (which they amply deserve this year as
well). They then encourage SDB members to
attend the next national meeting (University of
Washington, Seattle, WA July 17-21, 2014) and their
local meetings, and are told of other benefits of SDB
membership. Having now done most of that, I would
like to write instead about other types of
participation.
