WormBase and WormAtlas are pleased to introduce the Worm Community Forum (WCF). The WCF is an online forum for posting job openings and meeting announcements, discussing puzzling results, getting help with troublesome protocols, and discussing anything related to the world of worms. If you are interested in acting as a moderator for the WCF, please contact Thomas Burglin (thomas.burglin AT biosci.ki.se) or Todd Harris (harris@cshl.edu).
