First PVC meeting

Hip hip hourra!!

That is it, we obtained a grant from the EMBO workshop and course program to organize the first meeting entirely dedicated to the PVCs. This event will be entitled: "EMBO workshop on Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, Chlamydiae superphylum: exceptions to the bacterial definition?"  It will be organized by DP Devos (COS, Heidelberg Uni., Germany) with the help of co-organizers C Jogler (Harvard, Massachusetts, USA) and JA Fuerst (Brisbane Uni., Australia) and will be held in Heidelberg, Germany from the 28th of Feb. to the 2nd of March 2013. It will be the first time that scientists working on so different organisms will assemble together in the same room. Fascinating keynote talks have been secured and both tenants of the controversy about PVC phylogenetic link to eukaryotes will be invited. This promise to be a very exciting meeting. More details will come soon, but I want to share this excellent news with you. So mark you calendar for the 28th of Feb. 2013.

Please send me an email if you are interested, intend to come or just are thinking about it at microplatypus@gmail.com. Thanks.
