We are pleased to invite you to the Research Coordination Network Meeting at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. The meeting will take place on Friday, November 8, 2019 and Saturday, November 9, 2019.
In light of several new developments and successful activities we will convene a meeting of the RCN at the MBL. At the meeting we will review where we are at the half way mark of the RCN, including discussing further integration strategies and identify additional contacts. The group will also present successful integration projects and discuss publication strategies post-IsisCB focus section.
The RCN meeting is generously funded by a grant from National Science Foundation. The meeting is hosted by the Center for Biology and Society at Arizona State University.
We will pay directly for airfare, MBL Housing, Peter Pan Bus/Green Shuttle to Woods Hole, and meals. We are not able to process reimbursements or pay for additional expenses. Please contact Jessica Ranney, the logistic coordinator, if you have any questions or if you plan to drive your own car - which requires additional paperwork.
We are contracted with Marine Biological Laboratory for lodging accommodations in the Swope Dormitory from November 7 – 10. If you will be attending, please confirm your room reservation with jessica.Ranney.edu as soon as possible.
For more information on the accommodations, please see MBL Campus Map including Swope (dormitory and dining), and parking.

However, if you would prefer to take a Peter Pan Bus, please let us know and we can pay for the reservation directly. Their website details the shuttle times they offer, but please note the latest shuttle leaves at 7:00pm.
