RASMB98 meeting

Hi all

Details of the 1998 RASMB meeting and the 1998 joint meeting of the Lorne
protein structure and function and Protein Society meeting are now
available on:

http://grimwade.biochem.unimelb.edu.au/lorne.htm 

This is a wonderful time to visit Australia (late summer) and enjoy sand
and surf with good science.  

Its a bit expensive to get here from o/s but its great for frequent flyer
miles.

Best wishes

Geoff Howlett
