Dear Histonetters:
Pasquale De Blasio asked me to provide you the announcement about a meeting in Rome this June. I copied the content from the meeting flyer below. Unfortunately, the Histonet server would block all the graphics and artwork in the flyer so I could not include that. I have no personal knowledge of him or the meeting. His email is pasquale.debla...@isenet.it<mailto:pasquale.debla...@isenet.it> if you have questions about this meeting. Thanks.
