Hi,

I got this schedule below yesterday re: the Advanced Topics scheduled in San Antonio in December --looks great and neato that Debbie Laxague is speaking too! You GO, Girl! I'll be a friendly face listening to you in the audience

I got to chat briefly with Dr Sara Hurvitz about TDM-1 after one of her talks when I was in La Jolla for Project Lead this summer. IF IT WORKS OUT for me to direct some questions to some Drs/Scientists/researchers while I am at the San Antonio Conference: do you guys have any specific questions you'd like me to ask folks who are on the cutting edge of the research being done? List them here, and as I have opportunity, I will keep them in mind during the Q & A times or if I meet them during other times during the conference. If any questions are poised in this thread that somebody else here already knows the answer to from studying out the research, I'd appreciate it if they could please chime in with answers.

Thanks,

Paula
