For those of you who are new to Nuggets, we conducted a Network Nuggets reader survey in April to help us ensure our Nuggets service is meeting your needs. Overall, the Nugget Survey results were very positive. However, we did learn that we could do a better job in covering certain areas, particularly the elementary and primary grades. We'll post a summary of the results this summer on the Nuggets page at www.cln.org -- and point to it in our next Nugget message, this September. Congratulations to our Nugget Reader Survey winners: Karen Gulliver, a homeschooling mom of 3 from Victoria, British Columbia (grand prize winner of a $75.00 gift certificate from chapters.indigo.ca online bookstore) Linda Garland, Teacher-Librarian from Chetwynd Secondary School, Chetwynd, British Columbia Thierry Bruxelle, a Grade 6/7 French Immersion teacher at Kwayhquitlum Middle School, Port Coquitlam, British Columbia (Both Linda and Thierry won a collection of educational books and videos.) And, thanks to everyone who took the time to complete the survey. This will be the last Nugget I send to you. Due to a reorganization, Bobbie Rollins (previous moderator) and myself will no longer be involved with nuggets. However, I know Dave Rogers (previous Nuggets moderator and frequent Nuggets contributor) will do a great job of moderating Nuggets when he begins his duties as Network Nuggets moderator in the fall. It's been a pleasure writing nuggets for you all. On behalf of Bobbie and myself, thanks for being such receptive Nugget readers. Enjoy your summer. ---------------------- Network Nuggets is a free service of the Community Learning Network Website (http://www.cln.org/) and the Open Learning Agency of British Columbia (http://www.openschool.bc.ca/).

The conference takes place in San Diego, CA, one of the nation's wellsprings of bioinformatics activity, at the Westin Horton Plaza. >From food to cancer drugs to combating terrorism, bioinformatics is an emerging discipline with far-reaching implications. Biologists and computer programmers are developing powerful tools for storing, managing, and analyzing enormous data sets from biological systems. Given today's economic challenges, these pioneers are focusing more than ever on developing tools that they can put to immediate practical use. In an interview conducted last year, just before O'Reilly's premier Bioinformatics Technology Conference, keynote speaker Dr. Leroy Hood made a prediction for the future of bioinformatics. "With the enormous increase in hardware capacity, I don't think there are going to be any technical limits on what we can do. So I think the grand challenge is the successful integration of computational biology, or bioinformatics, with biology itself." The O'Reilly Bioinformatics Technology Conference takes up this challenge of integrating science and computational tools head-on. Practitioners from biology, computer science, software engineering, mathematics, and other related disciplines come together for four days of information exchange, learning, and fun--all with the hope of taking the practice of bioinformatics to even greater heights. This conference is designed to bridge the gaps between communities and address what may be the most important issue in bioinformatics: how to get the job done. The conference begins with one day of tutorials, providing deep coverage of essential issues in bioinformatics, such as: data privacy and access; building, managing, and using databases; microarrays; data modeling; sequence analysis; and high-throughput analysis techniques. Three days of conference sessions follow, organized into four tracks: tool design; algorithm design; system administration and infrastructure; and end-user applications. Each track focuses on the technologies, techniques, and tools used to understand and analyze biological data. Specific topics we'll explore are: data formats, mining, structures, and visualization; emerging data types; structural and comparative genomics; building and using clusters; pharmacogenics; pattern recognition; mark-up languages; proteomics; gene annotation; workflow and knowledge management systems; dynamic programming; bio-ethics; ontology creation; and employing BioJava, Bioperl, and Biopython. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: PROPOSALS DUE SEPTEMBER 9, 2002 We are interested in ideas and techniques that focus on innovative and practical ways of using tools to extract, process, or predict information that advances biological science, research, education, or commercial activity. We're particularly seeking proposals that highlight case studies, best practices for a tool or system, fundamental skills, and novel solutions to difficult problems. Individuals and companies interested in making presentations, giving a tutorial, or participating in panel discussions are invited to submit proposals for tutorials and conference presentations (sessions). Presentations by marketing staff or with a marketing focus will not be accepted; neither will submissions made by anyone other than the proposed speaker. If you are interested in participating in or moderating panel discussions, or otherwise contributing to the conference, please let us know (and please include your area of expertise). If you have a suggestion for a panel topic, or for a particularly provocative group of panelists that you'd love to see square off, feel free to send your suggestions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The submission deadline for all proposals is September 9, 2002. Presenters will be notified of selection results by October 7, 2002.
