The deadline for housing and discounted early registration for the 16th International Worm Meeting is this Friday, 25 May 2007. Additional details and online registration are available on the official meeting website. Housing reservations are independent of the meeting reservation. Note that joining the GSA results in a further discount of registration fees and the membership plus registration cost is cheaper than registering for the meeting alone.
