ISDCI NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2013
You are looking at the new-format ISDCI newsletter: I hope you like it! In line with the new lay-out of the website and new logo from now on we aim to provide you with a modernized look at the Society. We hope to attract many new and young members to our Society. Remember: only members have the privilege to receive this beautiful newsletter.
For the ISDCI to flourish we need your help! If you have not done so, please renew your ISDCI membership via the paypall system on the website. The membership fees are $40 (US) per year for students and $60 (US) per year for others. These fees include an online electronic subscription to our official Journal, Developmental and Comparative Immunology. An optional print subscription to the journal is available for $40 (US) extra.
The more members the stronger we stand! If you have not done so, please encourage your students, post-docs and friends to become a member of the Society. Enquires about memberships should be sent via the website to the ISDCI Secretary-Treasurer Liz Dyrynda.
It may be clear the website still is in progress but the fundaments are in place. We are working on a ‘members-only’ section that will include a wealth of archived information on previous conferences, activities, photos etcetera. Again: only members have the privilege to scroll through this future app.
