Hi Fatah,
It’s Rana from NCBI. I was hoping that you might be able to help me with something.
We’re running one of our free NCBI Discovery Workshops in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if you happened to have access to a listserv or an Emailing list that you could send a message out to interested parties? The message is appended below.
It’s free, just an easy trip up the Red Line, and a good excuse to visit the NIH campus…..
Thanks!
Rana
